We found an excellent article about the Ford F-150 called Double Win: F-150 Wind Motor Trend and Autobytel Truck of the Year! BUILT TOUGH!

The F-150 has won many awards over the decades, but the 2012 nabbed two of the top awards by winning Truck of the Year from both Motor Trends and Autobytel. It edged out the Ram HD Laramie Longhorn, Nissan NV commercial van, and Toyota Tacoma.

 Despite the win, there was one objection from the reviewers pertaining to the back seat of the SuperCab. “This is the space for short people, people you don’t like, or things,” said Jeff Glucker, Road Test Editor for Autobytel.

You can’t get everything right.

The videos below compiled by Indianapolis Ford F-150 tell the story of the best seller in the Ford lineup.

One thing that we all look forward to at Cinco de Mayo parties, is the FOOD! So we set out to find some of the most delicious looking recipes to share with you! Hope you all have a great Cinco de Mayo!
