JD Power APEAL Awards (Blog) at Premier Ford of Lamesa

What makes a great vehicle? This is a question that J. D. Power has tried to answer for years now, as they focus on everything from the performance to the usability of the model. At Premier Ford of Lamesa, we’re proud to announce that Ford has earned the most segment awards in the recent J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study, with models like the Mustang and the Super Duty outshining the competition. If you want to see why these vehicles are loved by drivers across the nation, then you can visit us today for a test drive.

The Results of the APEAL Study

While all Ford models are great, the Mustang and the Super Duty were both named the most appealing vehicles in their segments. The Super Duty took the crown for heavy-duty pickups, while the Mustang managed to beat out countless other sports cars. This isn’t the first time that the Super Duty is in the spotlight, as it managed to win the best APEAL ranking the year before as well. APEAL stands for “Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout,” but this study tracks a lot more than just that. It also focuses on safety, comfort, usability, and more. These aren’t random critics evaluating these vehicles either; it’s drivers across the nation. The APEAL study tracks customer satisfaction over the course of 90 days, so you can trust this hard-earned data. If you want to see what the Mustang or the Super Duty can do, and you live near Big Spring, Lamesa, or Hobbs, then you can try them out for yourself at Premier Ford of Lamesa.

A Closer Look at the Mustang

This model has quite a reputation, as it’s known for its sheer power and undeniable speed. If you want to get the strongest version of this model, then you should opt for the Mustang Dark Horse, as it clocks in at a respectable 500 horsepower, and it also offers up to 418 lb-ft. of torque. It’s one of our most exciting new models, but you’ll find that even older, pre-owned Mustangs pack a punch.

A Closer Look at the Super Duty

The Super Duty is a lot stronger than your average truck, as it’s designed to handle the jobs that other vehicles just can’t do. To give you an idea of how strong this model is, it offers a maximum available towing capacity of 40,000 pounds and a maximum available payload capacity of 8,000 pounds. If you want to weigh this truck down, it’s going to take a lot of work. This model will also blow you away with its numbers, as it offers maximum available diesel torque of 1,200 lb-ft. With strength like this, anything is possible. You can even equip an available 48-gallon fuel tank so that you can stay on the job for longer.
