Ford is America’s truck leader, which makes sense given the brand’s penchant for innovation and commitment to quality. Ford trucks are built with strong materials that don’t weigh them down, leaving them nimble enough to properly live up to customer demands. Durability and versatility are key characteristics of Ford trucks, and praise has been heaped onto the automaker for years as a result. That tradition of praise continues now that Kelley Blue Book has named Ford the Best Overall Truck Brand. We thought we’d use this recognition as a chance to highlight some of the Ford trucks for sale near Brainerd and Pine River MN.

Ford Kelley Blue Book award

Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com has given Ford the honor of Best Overall Truck Brand for the third consecutive year, and this title has been earned seven out of the past eight years that this award was presented. Truck shoppers ranked Ford the highest among all truck brands, and a big reason for that is the latest F-150 model, which is better than ever for 2016. The Ford Super Duty lineup, which consists of trucks capable of some of the heaviest workloads out there, also factored heavily into this award.
