No MotorTrend SOTY submission?

Interestingly, the 22 expy or nav wasn't a contender in either the 21 or 22 suv of the year contests. I know people feel like motortrend doesn't care for ford products, but usually motortrend rates their fs suvs pretty highly. It probably wouldn't have won, but it would've been interesting to see how it would've stacked up against the new suvs from gm, jeep, nissan, and toyota.

They think highly of Ford in some instances but when it comes to literal rankings, you can always trace a money trail.

MotorTrend awards are for new vehicles or those with significant redesigns. Not sure the 2022 refresh counts, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Trend_Car_of_the_Year#Criteria
