Ford F-Series Super Duty Prevails As North America Truck of the Year, Smart Technology and Heavy-Duty Capability Win Amongst Competition

The 2024 Ford F-Series Super Duty, the ultimate workhorse for weekend warriors and builders, has taken home the 2024 North American Truck of the Year award.

Designed to make life on or away from the jobsite more convenient and productive – whether hitching a trailer, backing up to a loading dock, making tight turns on off-road trails or installing and operating upfit equipment – Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs lead the market in key segments including mining, construction, and utilities – and have double the share of their closest competitor.4

“We are so proud that Super Duty has earned the prestigious Truck of the Year award from the NACTOY jury, especially among a strong lineup of other finalists,” said Andrew Kernahan, Super Duty chief program engineer. “It represents the relentless dedication our teams have to our customers and endless hours they’ve poured into designing, engineering and building Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs to be the ultimate BUILT FORD TOUGH® tool for work and recreation.”

Approximately 96% of heavy-duty pickup owners use their trucks to tow, and with best-in-class maximum available towing of 40,000 pounds5, best-in-class maximum available payload of 8,000 pounds6 and best-in-class available 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque7 from the high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 diesel, Super Duty customers can tow and haul with confidence.
