  • Mack Trucks has announced the winners of their 2027 calendar contest, highlighting diverse truck models and years.

*Summarized by AI

Mack Trucks revealed the trucks, chosen through a fan-driven online contest that drew record participation this year, that will headline the Mack 2027 Calendar.  Spanning vocations, regions, and generations, the winning trucks represent the breadth of Mack’s customer base across the U.S. and Canada, and each will claim its own month in the brand’s flagship annual showcase.

Voting played out across Mack’s social channels during several weeks, with thousands of fans weighing in on hundreds of submissions to determine which trucks would take home the title. Professional photo shoots are scheduled this summer to capture each winning rig in its working environment.

“This year’s calendar is a celebration of Mack’s evolution, honoring both the heritage that built our brand and the innovation driving its future,” said David Galbraith, Mack Trucks vice president of global brand and marketing. “From older Mack models to the first-ever all-new Mack Pioneer winner and standout entries showcasing battery-electric vehicles, this year’s contest reflects the incredible diversity of Mack customers and applications across North America. The passion and pride our customers have for their trucks continues to inspire us, and this year’s record number of entries proves the spirit of the Bulldog is stronger than ever.”

Largest Field of Entries in Calendar’s History

The 2027 contest marked the largest field of entries in the competition’s history. Now in its 12th year, the contest received more than 200 entries from customers and enthusiasts across North America. Submissions were judged across eight categories, built around how customers actually use their trucks and the legacy of the trucks that came before them.

Owners and operators from across the U.S. and Canada entered images and videos of their Mack trucks in the following classes: Built for the Long Haul, Built for the Toughest Jobs, Built for Versatility, Alternative Powertrain, LR, MD, TerraPro, and Old Bulldogs Still Hard at Work.

Among the standouts is a 72-year-old Mack L Model that still hauls on a daily basis, anchoring the “Old Bulldogs Still Hard at Work” category, a working testament to the durability, longevity, and pride that define what it means to own a Mack.

Eligibility requires that every truck, current production or legacy, be in active commercial service. Additional standout entries from this year’s contest may also be featured throughout the year across Mack Trucks’ digital and social media channels.
