The annual Mack Trucks Calendar Contest has returned for its 2027 edition, bringing new categories into the mix while continuing to highlight working trucks across real-world applications. The program focuses on trucks currently in revenue service, not showpieces or retired units, putting the spotlight on equipment that earns its keep every day.

“The Mack Calendar Contest is really about the pride our customers have in their trucks and the work they do with them,” said David Galbraith, Mack Trucks vice president, global brand and marketing. “Every year, we see incredible entries that capture the toughness, reliability, and character of Mack trucks in action. With the addition of new categories this year, we’re looking forward to seeing even more stories from the people who rely on Mack to get the job done.”

What’s New in the 2027 Contest

This year’s contest introduces additional themed categories aimed at reflecting how Mack trucks are used across different job types and operating conditions.

New categories include:

• Built for Toughest Jobs
• Built for Versatility
• Built for the Long Haul
• Alternative Fuels

These are being added alongside returning categories such as Old Bulldogs Hard at Work, as well as model-specific entries for trucks like the Mack MD, Mack LR, and Mack TerraPro.

Important Dates to Know

Drivers and fleet operators planning to enter should pay close attention to the timeline:

• Early entry period ends March 31
• Public voting runs from April 1 through April 30
• Submissions remain open during the voting period
• Winners will be announced by May 30

Each participant can receive one vote per day in each category through the contest website.

What Winners Receive

Selected trucks will be featured in the official 2027 Mack calendar. Each winning entry will also receive a professional photo shoot arranged by Mack Trucks.

In addition to the calendar, selected entries may be showcased across Mack’s social media platforms, which reach more than 1,000,000 followers.

Who Should Enter

The contest is open to trucks actively working in fleets, meaning vehicles that are still hauling, operating, and generating revenue. This keeps the focus on real working conditions, whether that is long-haul freight, vocational jobs, or specialized applications.

Where to Find More Information

Full contest rules and submission details are available through Mack Trucks’ website here. Questions about entries can be directed to socialmedia@macktrucks.com.

The finished 2027 calendar is expected to be released later this year through Mack’s online store.

A New Way to Experience Mack Trucks

“The addition of the TerraPro and Pinnacle models to SnowRunner demonstrates Mack’s commitment to engaging with our audience across multiple platforms,” said Cam Creech, senior manager of partnerships and licensing. “This collaboration allows players to experience firsthand the capability and reliability that Mack Trucks is known for, even in the most demanding virtual conditions.”

The Dual Pack DLC marks the first time civilian Mack models have joined SnowRunner, expanding the game’s already diverse lineup of vehicles and terrains.

Meet the TerraPro and Pinnacle

The Mack Dual Pack introduces players to two heavy hitters:

• Mack TerraPro
  In real life, the TerraPro is a go-to for concrete pumping and refuse work. In SnowRunner, it transforms into an off-road powerhouse. With its always-on differential lock and impressive power-to-weight ratio, the TerraPro is built to handle steep climbs and heavy cargo loads without breaking a sweat.
• Mack Pinnacle
  A favorite in the heavy-duty world, the Pinnacle brings incredible fuel capacity and the flexibility of a switchable differential lock. Whether you’re hauling logs across long distances or navigating tricky terrain, the Pinnacle delivers range, agility, and versatility.

Expanding Mack’s Gaming Legacy

This isn’t Mack’s first foray into SnowRunner. The Mack Defense M917A3 military vehicle was added in 2023, but the Dual Pack opens the door for civilian trucks to shine.

Starting February 11, players can explore these rugged Mack models in the game’s challenging virtual environments. The DLC will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $5.99.
