Well, it’s award time in the automotive industry! Last week, Car & Driver announced its Top 10 Cars of 2012, and this week, Motor Trend has announced their Truck Of The Year winner, the Ford F-150.

Its power and fuel economy bested that of the V8s in its rivals. Click on over to Motor Trend to read their press release.
