The 2009 North American Truck of the Year finalists were the Dodge Ram, Mercedes Benz ML320 Blue-Tec and the Ford F150. We have previously touted the F150's capabilities in our Forums so it should come as no surprise that the F150 has been selected as the 2009 North American Truck of the Year. This makes the second award for the 2009 F150 as it also has been selected as Motor Trend's 2009 truck of the year.
