DEARBORN, Mich., May 2, 2017 – The experts from PickupTrucks.com and Cars.com named the 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch pickup truck the 'Best Premium Three-quarter Ton Pickup truck of 2017' – a clear and decisive win over segment challengers from General Motors, Nissan and Ram.

'Like a great all-around athlete, the new Ford F-250 King Ranch has the powertrain of a bulldozer, and the interior features and technology of a luxury hotel room,' said Mark Williams, pickup truck expert at Cars.com.

For the 2017 Challenge, four competing three-quarter ton trucks were put through a series of tests and evaluations that included payload and towing capacity, acceleration and braking, and overall driver/passenger comfort and performance. The results will be posted for consumers to compare the trucks on the Cars.com website.

Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager, said the recognition demonstrates Ford's continued leadership in the three-quarter ton segment, which is a critical offering for the towing and work truck segment.

'We've listened to our customers who depend on three-quarter ton trucks to get the job done, whether that's the work truck hauling equipment and tools, or the RV-er traveling cross country with their boats and campers, it's clear the editors of Cars.com recognize Ford Super Duty delivers on best-in-class towing, luxury and technology that our customers expect,' said Eckert.

The recognition highlights Ford's yearlong celebration of F-Series as best-selling truck in America for 40 consecutive years and best-selling vehicle in America for 35 consecutive years. Join the #40YearsTough celebration at www.40YearsTough.com.
