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.

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.
