Make a smart investment when you choose to drive a new 2016 Ford F-150 around Bedford or Salem. Kelley Blue Book recently named the F-150 the Best Buy of 2016 in the category of Pickup Trucks, confirming that it delivers a great value and is well worth the initial investment.
Choosing the Best Buys
Every year, Kelley Blue Book gives out the Best Buy Awards in a range of categories. For the 2016 awards, editors began with a list of 49 vehicles spanning 12 categories and looked at a range of data, such as depreciation costs, comprehensive pricing, fuel costs, financing, vehicle sales, insurance, and maintenance. They evaluated each nominee back to back over the course of seven weeks and figured out the winners.
Why It Won
The 2016 Ford F-150 beat out all the other pickup trucks in the competition for the title of the Best Buy; clearly, Americans know what they are doing when they made it the best-selling vehicle. KBB judges were impressed by the F-150’s best-in-class fuel economy, towing, and payload among other gas-powered trucks, along with its quality of materials. When you configure your F-150 correctly, it will tow 12,200 pounds, which is the best capacity you will get in a full-size pickup without opting for an HD model.
Drivers are able to choose a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers the best fuel economy in the class and can pull up to 8,500 pounds with its 325-horsepower configuration. KBB also pointed out that the Ford F-150 is incredibly affordable and offers a range of options that can fit any price point. After all, the base model has a starting MSRP that is less than $28,000*, and you can even configure it with the EcoBoost for only $28,300*.
Take advantage of the Ford F-150’s status as a best buy and start driving this reliable and capable pickup around Salem and Bedford, Virginia. The staff at Berglund Ford and Berglund of Bedford can help you configure your truck.
