F-150 and Mach-E Earn 2021 North American Utility and Truck of the Year

Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble, Texas (serving greater Houston, Kingwood, Atascocita, Katy, Conroe) are celebrating the new year with some big news! The all-new, all-electric Mustang Mach-E and the all-new Ford F-150 claim the 2021 North American Utility and Truck of the Year.

It’s a first since 2014. That’s the last time the same brand won multiple North American vehicle of the year awards in the same year.

“This recognition for Mustang Mach-E and F-150 is validation not only for our brand but also for our Ford team, which continues to innovate and deliver on its commitment to creating must-have products and services,” said Kumar Galhotra, president, Ford Americas and IMG. “The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year awards are among the most prestigious in the industry and such an honor serves as a capstone achievement for years of hard work for the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 teams.”

Ford brought the all-new, all-electric Mustang Mach-E to life through a development process concentrated entirely on customer needs and desires, resulting in a sleek, beautiful SUV that delivers spirited ride and handling – with state-of-the-art connected vehicle technology that makes it even better over time.

No surprise this isn’t a Ford first. This is actually the third in a series of recent awards that saw a Mustang Mach-E and F-150 double feature – both earned accolades in December for the Edmunds Top Rated Luxury EV and Edmunds Top Rated Truck of 2021, on top of recognition as the Green Car Journal 2021 Green Car of the Year and Green Truck of the Year.

Mustang Mach-E also was named Best Car to Buy 2021 by The Car Connection and Green Car Reports earlier this month.

The all-new F-150 is purpose-built to be the toughest, most productive F-150 ever, targeting the most towing and payload of any light-duty full-size pickup and introducing all-new features to increase customer productivity. F-150 has new connected vehicle innovations such as over-the-air updates that help keep it at the forefront of purposeful technology as well as an available all-new 3.5-liter PowerBoost hybrid powertrain with Pro Power Onboard – an integrated power generator.

The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year awards are intended to recognize the most outstanding new vehicles of the year. These vehicles are benchmarks in their segments based on factors including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar.

The organization gives out three awards: “North American Car of the Year,” “North American Utility Vehicle of the Year ,” and “North American Truck of the Year.” The awards are given by an independent jury of automotive journalists from the United States and Canada instead of by a single publication, website, radio or television station.

The accolades keep coming

The North American Utility and Truck of the Year awards are just two of many accolades Mustang Mach-E and F-150 have earned in recent months:

Truckload of F-150 Award Highlights

  • Detroit Free Press Truck of the Year – Detroit Free Press
  • Green Truck of the Year – Green Car Journal
  • Best Buy Award – Kelley Blue Book
  • Edmunds Top Rated Truck – Edmunds.com

Ford’tastic Mustang Mach-E Awards

  • Green Car of the Year – Green Car Journal
  • Edmunds Top Rated Luxury EV – Edmunds
  • Best Car to Buy 2021- The Car Connection
  • Best Electric Car to Buy 2021 – The Car Connection
  • Best Crossover to Buy 2021 – The Car Connection
  • Best Car to Buy 2021 – Green Car Reports

Mustang Mach-E Lights Up National Lampoon Christmas Reprisal

Our team at Planet Ford in Humble loves the new Mustang Mach-E and a great Holliday classic, so to have the two come together — bonus! You wouldn’t be more surprised about this latest Mustang Mach-E TV spot even if you woke up tomorrow with your head sewn to the carpet.

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprise their National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation roles with Mach-E

Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation roles as CLARK and ELLEN GRISWOLD in an updated take on one of the 1989 holiday classic’s most iconic scenes – starring Mustang Mach-E.

“It’s great to be back for another Christmas with my on-screen family and its rotating assortment of kids – and I have Ford and Mustang Mach-E to thank for paying me to do it,” said Chase. “I suppose you’re expecting some sort of riff on electric cars, but I can say with 85% certainty that this thing probably won’t cause any blackouts in your neighborhood when you plug it in.”

“My favorite side kick role is playing ELLEN GRISWOLD to Chevy’s CLARK, my one and only Sparky,” D’Angelo said. “But this year, the brightest spark is the Mustang Mach-E in the driveway! Please don’t tell him I said that. I’m already in trouble for bringing a different set of kids every time we go on a vacation.”

Catch the new short featuring Mustang Mach-E on the SNL Christmas Special Dec. 22.

Planet Ford Supports Veteran Golf Tournament

Blake LeDoux from Kingwood, Texas is now at Army West Point. Planet Ford in Humble was proud to sponsor the Major Stephen Reich Memorial Golf Tournament.

Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble and John Center, General Manager is proud to support our community, including our veteran organization. Recently, our team had the honor of sponsoring a hole at the Major Stephen Reich Memorial Golf Tournament. 

It was one of our own, Blake LeDoux from Kingwood, Texas who shared the event and opportunity to support our heroes. Mr. LeDoux is an Army baseball player at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was a four-year varsity baseball player at Kingwood Park and JUCO baseball at Alvin Community College.

Major Reich, whom the tournament honors, was also a baseball player for West Point. He served four tours of duty in Afghanistan and sadly he was killed in action on June 28, 2005 during a mission to rescue a four-man Navy SEAL team, as depicted in the book and movie ‘Lone Survivor’.

According to Fox Sports, who had a 12-minute special on Major Reich, he was one of 16 troops aboard the helicopter attempting to rescue their Navy Seal brothers when it was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all onboard. Reich grew up in Washington Depot, CT and was a three-sport athlete at Shepaug Valley High School before becoming a star pitcher for the United States Military Academy at West Point. His promising professional baseball career lasted only two games for a Baltimore Orioles farm team before the Army summoned him back to active duty.

Introducing the All-New 2020 Ford Edge ST-Line

At Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble, Texas, we are excited to introduce the 2020 Edge ST-Line model. It is a new choice for our SUV-loving customers. This is an ideal option for those who prefer the Edge ST’s bold style but prioritize value. Expanding the ST family by adding ST-Line will help even more customers find a Ford Edge that’s right for them in Humble, Kingwood, Atascocita, Katy, Conroe and greater Houston.

“Edge ST continues to break new ground with terrific styling, powerful performance and smart technology,” said Craig Patterson, Ford SUV marketing manager. “But some customers want style and value and don’t need all of the horsepower. For them, Edge ST-Line hits the bull’s-eye – again.”

The Edge ST has been very popular with our customers nationwide. Since its 2018 introduction, sales have outperformed the previous Edge Sport model, with nearly double the number sold. In 2019 and 2020, nearly 13 percent of all Edge sales have been ST models.

With a starting price $5,165 less than Edge ST, Edge ST-Line shares the same aggressive looks and includes all of the smart driver-assist technologies Edge customers can enjoy – advanced features that help take the stress out of driving.

Edge ST-Line styling inspired by Ford Performance includes a unique ST-style grille with body-colored bumpers, black ST beltline molding combined with lower sport cladding, standard fog lamps and signature LED lighting. Black roof rack side rails, 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels and unique Edge ST-Line badging further enhance the look of the new SUV.

Edge ST-Line offers a fun-to-drive experience, and it comes standard with a 250-horsepower twin-scroll 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine featuring Auto Start-Stop, an 8-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel-drive capability.

Edge ST-Line comes loaded with technology including standard SYNC® 3 with Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, Waze and Ford+Alexa™ compatibility, plus a wireless phone charging pad. Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist Plus technology – featuring Enhanced Active Park Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Centering and All-Wheel-Drive Disconnect – is optional.
