It may seem a bit strange to have a Luxury SUV to be voted as the Autobytel 2013 Truck of the Year instead of a Pickup Truck but that is the way that the voting went with the editorial team and their choice was the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. The approval of the refreshed German hauler was so great that it was voted the highest of all of the truck platform categories this year.

Here is some of what we have had to say about the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class:

"They say you can’t mess with success, and Mercedes certainly hasn’t done anything to knock down its best-in-class seller. In fact, it’s only gotten much much better." - Jeff Glucker, 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Review, Autobytel

"We were given a chance to drive the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class both on and off-road and came away with the impression that this is one big SUV that has a lot to offer well-heeled family buyers." - Benjamin Hunting, 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class First Drive, Autobytel

"I'd put it at the top of the list of luxury SUVs." - Ron Doron, 2013 Mercedes GL-Class Video Review, Autobytel's YouTube Channel

The editorial team of Autobytel has chosen the previous vehicles as the best of what we have seen in the category for 2013, and while there are many others in this class that probably deserve some kudos as well, we'd love to hear which you would choose for yourself. Let us know on the Autobytel Twitter or the Autobytel Facebook page.
