MotorTrend’s “Of the Year” awards recognize the best vehicles representing exceptional value, superiority in their classes and impact on the automotive scene. The accolades are one of the most coveted automotive industry awards and represents the pinnacle of an extremely competitive segment.
Contending vehicles at Truck of the Year are first put through MotorTrend’s full battery of performance tests at a professional automotive test center to evaluate virtually every aspect of each vehicle, then evaluated on real-world roads loaded, unloaded, and while towing, as well as at a premiere off-road facility, before a winner is selected.
MotorTrend editors lauded the wide variety of trim levels for customers to choose, from the opulence of Tungsten to the raw off-road capability of RHO.
