About the North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle Award
The North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle Awards features three categories-the North American Car of the Year, the North American Truck of the Year and the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year.
Now, here is how this award works. 60 high ranking automotive journalists from Canada and the United States are saddled with the responsibility of being judges at this event. These 60 journalists put into consideration criteria such as safety, design, innovation, technology, driver satisfaction and performance of the cars selected. With this, they can pick the best three out of the rest. This award is the oldest award that is not affiliated with a particular publication.
As a result of this, it is considered to be a unique award. The North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle Award are characterized by distinctive contenders as the years go by. Therefore, the task of selecting the finalists an uphill battle.
