Autobytel 2012 Pick Up Truck of the Year Winner: 2012 Ford F-150 EcoBoost As the best-selling truck in the United States, for the last three decades, the Ford F-150 has seen its fair share of changes over the years, but the addition of the EcoBoost engine might be one of the biggest. The 2012 Ford F-150 EcoBoost was a unanimous decision for the Autobytel 2012 Truck of the Year by our staff. The new turbocharged and direct-injected engine allows the truck to deliver best-in-class towing capabilities without sacrificing fuel economy, and EcoBoost is offered on just about all of the F-150's various models ranging from the base F-150 XL up to the luxurious F-150 Platinum. Buyers can also choose between the F-150's multiple cab lengths and bed lengths to find a configuration that meets their exact needs.
