The 2025 edition of the Koroit Truck Show has been run and done over the weekend, with the town coming alive once again.
The large truck display descended on Victoria Park on January 25, with the trucks being joined by a motorcycle performance and a state wood chopping competition.
Alongside the popular truckie sprint and tug of war, the show also crowned its prize winners for the year.
Starting with the grand prize, Brad Walker’s Kenworth T659 beat out Whitehaul Transport’s T909 to win rig of the show. The best crane/tow truck went to Modern Towing for their Mack Superliner, while Colin McDonald was recognised for having the best fleet of three or more trucks.
