Parkers’ Best Pickup award (in association with Angling Times) winner revealed!
Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered Angling Times to bring you the award for the Best Pickup in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021.
And the winner that has been revealed today (26 October) is the Ford Ranger – one of a total of 21 award-winning vehicles announced by Parkers.
The Ford Ranger is not Britain’s bestselling pickup by accident. It’s car-like to drive, has a whole fleet of options to choose from and performs brilliantly off-road. No wonder it’s the reigning pickup of the year in the Parkers awards, having already won the title in 2020.
It finishes ahead of the Ssangyong Musso, which is brilliant value and boasts the best towing capacity for the money and the Toyota Hilux, which is a pickup with a long warranty and legendary reliability that’s been updated with the latest tech for 2021.
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said:
“Pickup drivers have never had it so good, with a choice of capable, powerful vehicles that are also great to drive.
“But right now, the Ford Ranger stands above the rest thanks to its great payload and towing ratings, vast number of options, broad trim levels and fine selection of economical 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engines.
“This one of the few pickups that really can function as an alternative to a car.”
Now in its fourth year, the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 reflect the views of Britain’s car-buying public, with winners decided by a combination of the site’s expert reviewers’ verdicts in thousands of miles of road testing and the purchasing habits of the website’s 2.3+ million users actively involved in the buying process.
More details about the Best Pickup award can be found alongside all of the winners in the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 on the Parkers website.
