Ford Maverick Lobo® Named North American Truck of the Year

Ford Maverick Lobo® Named North American Truck of the Year

For the sixth year in a row, Ford Motor Company won the North American Truck of the Year.  The “Bargain Buggy” was also the Detroit News Readers’ Choice and the Motor Trend Truck of the Year. 

The “Lobo” has a sleek lowered look with special wheel rims enhancing its appearance. 

Key Winning Specifications:

Performance Engine: Features a 2.0L EcoBoost engine delivering 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.

Exclusive “Lobo Mode”: A track-inspired drive mode that optimizes cornering and stability by leveraging a twin-clutch rear drive unit for advanced torque vectoring.

Sport-Tuned Chassis: Includes a lowered ride height (0.5″ front / 1.12″ rear), performance-tuned steering, and upgraded front brakes from the European Focus ST.

Unique 7-Speed Transmission: A specialized “quick-shift” automatic transmission that uses paddle shifters and unique programming to improve acceleration.

Styling: Distinctive 19-inch “turbofan” black-painted wheels, a unique front fascia, and a black-painted roof.

According to Ford 

The story of the Lobo began in the garages of Maverick owners. Since the truck’s initial launch, Ford’s social media feeds and enthusiast forums were flooded with images of customized Mavericks. Owners were lowering their ride heights, swapping in performance wheels, and tuning their engines to create modern “street trucks” reminiscent of the high-performance pickup culture of the 1990s. Ford took notice. Rather than letting the aftermarket have all the fun, we put the customer at the center of the development process. The Maverick Lobo is the direct result of that evolution — a factory-engineered performance truck that brings unique design and value to urban streets, all backed by a factory warranty.

Dodge Charger Wins North American Car of the Year™ 2026!

The Dodge Muscle Car  was also the Detroit News Readers’ Choice, Free Press  and the Top Gear.com. 

Key Winning Specifications:

The new Dodge Charger lineup combines retro-inspired design with cutting-edge technology. Key standard features for both the Charger Scat Pack with SIXPACK engine and the fully electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack include: 

  • Best-in-class power and all-wheel drive capability.
  • Muscular Dodge exterior inspired by pure heritage, featuring the widest body of any car in the industry. 

• A complete set of driving modes, including Sport and Custom variants, as well as high-performance features like Launch Control.

According to Stellantis:

“Winning the North American Car of the Year award is a testament to Dodge’s constant drive to break molds and redefine segments,” said Matt McAlear, CEO of Dodge. “The Charger lineup offers the ideal power, including the 550 horsepower of the Scat Pack with SIXPACK engine and the 670 horsepower of the Daytona, available in both two-door and four-door configurations. This recognition validates our vision for the future of the muscle car.”

Los fabricantes de autos de Detroit se llevan los máximos reconocimientos en el Detroit Auto Show 2026

Ford Maverick Lobo® nombrada North American Truck of the Year

Por sexto año consecutivo, Ford Motor Company ganó el premio North American Truck of the Year. El “Bargain Buggy” también fue elegido Detroit News Readers’ Choice y Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

La “Lobo” luce un diseño estilizado y rebajado, con rines especiales que realzan su apariencia.

Especificaciones clave del premio:

Motor de alto rendimiento: Cuenta con un motor 2.0L EcoBoost que entrega 250 caballos de fuerza y 280 lb-pie de torque.

“Lobo Mode” exclusivo: Un modo de manejo inspirado en la pista que optimiza el desempeño en curvas y la estabilidad, aprovechando una unidad de tracción trasera de doble embrague para una avanzada distribución de torque.

Chasis ajustado para manejo deportivo: Incluye una altura reducida (0.5” al frente / 1.12” atrás), dirección afinada para alto desempeño y frenos delanteros mejorados del Focus ST europeo.

Transmisión única de 7 velocidades: Una transmisión automática especial de “cambios rápidos” con paletas al volante y programación exclusiva para mejorar la aceleración.

Diseño: Rines distintivos negros tipo “turbofan” de 19 pulgadas, una fascia delantera única y techo pintado en negro.

Según Ford

La historia de la Lobo comenzó en los garajes de los propietarios de la Maverick. Desde el lanzamiento inicial de la camioneta, las redes sociales de Ford y los foros de entusiastas se llenaron de imágenes de Mavericks personalizadas. Los dueños bajaban la altura del vehículo, cambiaban los rines por versiones de alto rendimiento y ajustaban los motores para crear modernas “street trucks”, recordando la cultura de pickups de alto desempeño de los años noventa. Ford tomó nota. En lugar de dejar que el mercado de accesorios se quedara con toda la diversión, pusimos al cliente en el centro del proceso de desarrollo. La Maverick Lobo es el resultado directo de esa evolución: una camioneta de alto desempeño diseñada desde fábrica, que aporta diseño y valor únicos a las calles urbanas, respaldada además por una garantía de fábrica.

¡Dodge Charger gana North American Car of the Year™ 2026!

El Dodge Muscle Car también fue elegido Detroit News Readers’ Choice, Free Press y Top Gear.com.

Especificaciones clave del premio:

La nueva línea Dodge Charger combina un diseño inspirado en lo retro con tecnología de punta. Las características estándar clave, tanto para el Charger Scat Pack con motor SIXPACK como para el Charger Daytona Scat Pack totalmente eléctrico, incluyen:

• Potencia líder en su clase y capacidad de tracción en las cuatro ruedas.
• Exterior musculoso característico de Dodge, inspirado en su herencia pura, con la carrocería más ancha de cualquier auto en la industria.
• Un conjunto completo de modos de manejo, incluidos Sport y Custom, además de funciones de alto desempeño como Launch Control.

Según Stellantis:

“Ganar el premio North American Car of the Year es una prueba del impulso constante de Dodge por romper esquemas y redefinir segmentos”, dijo Matt McAlear, CEO de Dodge. “La línea Charger ofrece la potencia ideal, incluyendo los 550 caballos de fuerza del Scat Pack con motor SIXPACK y los 670 caballos de fuerza del Daytona, disponibles tanto en versiones de dos como de cuatro puertas. Este reconocimiento valida nuestro…”
