Mack Trucks has announced the 12 trucks that were selected through a competitive online contest and will be featured in the Mack 2026 Calendar. Representing the company’s diverse customer base across the U.S. and Canada, these standout trucks will each command a month in the brand’s highly anticipated annual showcase. 

Mack said the contest energized its online community with thousands of fans participating through all of Mack’s social channels during the voting period to determine the winners among hundreds of entries. Professional photography sessions scheduled for this summer will capture images of the winners.

“This year’s calendar is a celebration of legacy, innovation and shared values, and we’re especially proud to feature our first-ever fully electric calendar winner,” said David Galbraith, Mack Trucks vice president of global brand and marketing. “The City of Sacramento’s Mack LR Electric represents not just a stunning truck, but a forward-thinking commitment to clean energy and sustainable operations. At Mack, we’ve long been focused on driving a more sustainable future, and it’s inspiring to see our customers leading the way alongside us.”

This year’s contest drew thousands of votes across seven distinct categories, showcasing the strength and versatility of Mack’s current product lineup

Enthusiasts and customers from across the U.S. and Canada submitted compelling images and videos of their Mack trucks in the following classes: Anthem, Granite, LR, Mack MD Series, Pinnacle, TerraPro, and Legacy trucks. These categories reflect the full range of models available at the time the contest launched in March 2025.

While the all-new Mack Pioneer, unveiled in April 2025, was not included in this year’s competition, it will be eligible in future contests. The Legacy category continues to celebrate classic Mack trucks that, though no longer in production, remain active and reliable in commercial operations.

Eligibility: Must Be Actively Operating

To be eligible for the calendar, each truck, whether a current or Legacy model, must be actively operating in a business or fleet. Trucks used solely for show or no longer licensed for commercial use are not eligible for consideration.
