Work Truck readers have spoken, selecting the upfit packages that bring innovation, efficiency, and real-world functionality to fleets across the industry. Recognizing standout solutions across the Truck, Van, and SUV categories, fleet managers cast their votes in the third-annual Upfit Package of the Year Awards, sponsored by LEGEND.

After finalists were announced earlier this year, the winners were revealed at Work Truck Week 2026 in the LEGEND booth.

Upfitters nominated their most innovative and impactful solutions, designs built to help fleets solve challenges in the field and keep work moving.

"We created the Upfit of the Year Awards to shine a light on the fleet vehicles that move America. Every little build detail matters for the drivers, the technicians -- the Legends of the Road. It's exciting to work together as an industry to build vehicles that fleet managers can trust -- to solve their problems and give them peace of mind. Thank you to all those who participated and voted, and a huge congratulations to the winners! We’re extremely proud to be able to host these awards again with the team at Work Truck as we work together to tell stories of the industry!" said LEGENDS' Chief Marketing Officer, Brendan Church.
