Work Truck is now accepting entries for the 2027 Upfit Package of the Year awards, which, for the first time, will feature a category for the Medium-Duty Truck Upfit Package of the Year.

The Medium-Duty Truck of the Year award was started in 2008, and now, to complement that, Work Truck will be looking for the best upfit packages for medium-duty trucks.

“Medium-duty trucks have been the missing piece in our Upfit Package of the Year awards. Each year, we have grown this award into something even bigger that recognizes the upfitters who take a vehicle from normal to workable, see a vision or need from a fleet, and make it happen in ways we never would have imagined,” said Lauren Fletcher, vice president of content at Bobit Business Media. “

The Call for Entries for the Fourth Annual Work Truck Upfit Package of the Year is now underway, and the categories include:

• Van Upfit Package of the Year
• SUV Upfit Package of the Year
• Light-Duty Truck Upfit Package of the Year
• Medium-Duty Truck Upfit Package of the Year

Ready to enter? Submit your upfit package here: https://forms.office.com/r/FyDELDDxnw

Nominations will be accepted through Sept. 20, 2026, with voting by fleet professionals in the fall, and the announcement of the top three finalists in each category in January.

The awards, sponsored by LEGEND, will be presented on the show floor during NTEA Work Truck Week 2027 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“I am excited to see these nominations come in and recognize all segments of commercial fleet upfits, from vans and SUVs to light- and now medium-duty trucks. Submit your nominations today!” Fletcher added.
