The Texas Auto Writers Association (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/texas%20auto%20writers%20association/) has awarded the 2012 Ford F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150) a slew of honors. The pickup took home the Truck of Texas title by beating out its competitors at the annual Truck Rodeo. The award is the association's most prestigious honor, but Ford also picked up a few other nods. TAWA named the company's EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost) engine technology its best vehicle feature, and the 2012 Ford Edge (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/edge) took home the CUV of Texas badge. Finally, the entire Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) pickup line was named the Truck Line of Texas by the association, making for a pretty clean sweep of the truck competition.
This year, manufacturers entered 48 vehicles into the TAWA Truck Rodeo, and 57 automotive writers turned out to evaluate the trucks and SUVs. When the dust settled, Ford had earned seven awards total, including the best heavy-duty, luxury and full-size pickup trucks.
For its part, Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler) saw its products fare well in the competition, too. The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee (http://www.autoblog.com/jeep/grand cherokee) went home carrying SUV of Texas trophy, while TAWA awarded its sister, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (http://www.autoblog.com/jeep/wrangler), the mid-sized SUV of Texas title. Finally, the writers in attendance named the 2012 Dodge Durango (http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/durango) the full-size SUV of Texas.
