"No other truck of any size offers the unique experience of open-air driving while also having the capability to tackle any obstacle thrown its way, all in a very attractive package."

The Sobre Ruedas executive committee was responsible for generating the nominations. A group of automotive industry experts selected the winners of the 12 basic categories, in addition to the top prize, the Sobre Ruedas Vehicle of the Year.
