About the "Truck of the Year" award
MotorTrend is the publishing company that is behind the "Truck of the Year" awards. Determining the winners each year is an exhaustive process. They evaluate dozens of vehicles looking for those that represent exceptional value and positive impact on the industry. For driving and handling prowess, they use an independent automotive test center to evaluate candidates on three separate outside tracks. From that data, when the testing is over, the judges from MotorTrend pick out the finalists and further judge them on safety, design advancement, efficiency, value, and engineering excellence.
