The Ford F-Series added another trophy to its mantle this week, taking home the title of Truck Line of Texas at the annual Texas Truck Rodeo. It was also determined by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) that the all-new Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature debuting with the 2016 Ford F-150 is the Best Technology, and the 2016 Explorer Platinum earned the title of SUV of Texas.

The 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum unseated the Jeep Grand Cherokee as the SUV of Texas, a title that it had held for five consecutive years. The new Explorer Platinum  is powered by a 365-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and exclusive technologies including multi-adjustable Nirvana leather front seats and a 500-watt Sony® Audio System complete with Clear Phase™ and Live Acoustics™ make it a suitably luxurious choice for high-class Texans.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist will premiere with the 2016 F-150 later this year. A control knob on the center console enables drivers to steer their trailer independently while the truck steers itself accordingly.
