A pair of heavyweights lock horns for the title of ACOTY’s Best Commercial Vehicle.
How Does ACOTY Define This Class?
As the title states, only commercial vehicles can qualify for this award. No many the powertrain type (petrol, diesel, or electric) all are welcome.
Interestingly, we only managed to test ICE vehicles this time round.
Meet The Contenders
One of the most iconic trucks ever built, the Ford Ranger stands tall as one of Ford’s best offerings. Designed as the “baby” equivalent to the famous F-150, the Ranger still packs a punch and offers tons of functionality.
The Volkswagen Caddy is no stranger to the commercial vehicle market. A staple in markets across the world, the Caddy has proved invaluable to anything from light goods work to heavy pallet-ed deliveries.
