Work Truck’sMedium-Duty Truck of the Year award was developed in 2008 to recognize the top trucks in the vocational medium-duty market. And, in 2021, Work Truck launched the “Top 5 Medium-Duty Trucks.” We are excited to continue this honor for 2023.
Now entering the 15th year of the Medium-Duty Truck of the Year award, vehicles are nominated by the automakers and the winner is determined through voting by professional fleet managers.
The votes are based on what best fits the voter's fleet requirements, including application effectiveness, durability, quality, servicing, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.
These five top medium-duty work trucks represent the finalists for the annual Medium-Duty Truck of the Year award. These leading trucks showcase what today's fleet managers believe are the top trucks in the market that accomplish their needs.
