KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many times has Ford won the North American Truck of the Year award?

    As of 2025, Ford has won the North American Truck of the Year five times.
  • What is the price range of the Philippine-spec Ford Ranger?

    The Philippine-spec Ford Ranger has a price ranging from P1.259 million-P1.94 million.
  • The aforementioned accolade was bestowed on the mid-size pickup truck by the North American Car Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year (NACTOY) Awards, whose jurors consist of 50 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada

    Per the Blue Oval brand, the said award underscores the capabilities of the Ranger. It likewise showcases the brand’s continued innovation in the segment because, after all, this already marks the fifth consecutive time the Michigan-based company has won the said award

    In particular, the Ranger was praised by the NACTOY jurors for its proven durability as a workhorse, advanced array of technologies, smart features, and off-road capability. 

    In the context of the Philippines market, Ford’s Filipino clients have long since recognized the value the Ranger pickup truck provides. 

    To put the aforementioned into perspective, the said nameplate was the overall best-seller in the 4x4 segment in the first quarter of 2024, with 2,166 units sold. Moreover, Ford Philippines has already sold 28,218 Ranger units as of July 2024 since the current version’s local introduction in 2022.
