But we're not the only ones who think so highly of the pickup, in fact, Motor Trend chose the 2012 Ford F-150 as their Truck of the Year - and this isn't...

When you hear about a hybrid powertrain, you probably think of an electric motor paired up with a traditional engine, right? While that basic fact holds true across most hybrids out there, it's important to note that not all hybrids are created equal.

Seems like Box Tops for Education has been around for as long as you can remember, right? So long, in fact, that you don't even notice the pink label stamped at the top of General Mills products anymore. Which is why Ford and General Mills have teamed up to help schools in a new way. How can you help? Just go take an all-new Ford Explorer for a test drive.

Ford paid particularly close attention to safety in revamping the new 2012 Focus. This can be evidenced by the small car's recently-bestowed IIHS Top Safety Pick title.
