The Texas Truck Rodeo is an annual conference that is hosted by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). Over the course of two days, TAWA editors and Members evaluated more than 71 vehicles in the Texas Hill Country. Each vehicle was tested in both on- and off-road tests. The off-road vehicles were evaluated while climbing rocks, crossing creeks, and dodging exotic wildlife. Nic Phillips, the President of the Texas Auto Writers Association, had this to say about the 2017 Volvo XC90:
"To come to the Texas Truck Rodeo and win a category is impressive enough, to repeat both the category as well as the overall segment award back-to-back says a great deal about just how competitive Volvo’s XC90 is. Our journalists were overwhelming(ly) impressed by the XC90 Excellence’s luxurious interior they named it the best interior of any vehicle at the Texas Truck Rodeo. The T8 plugin hybrid powertrain, the first ever plugin at a Texas Truck Rodeo, was also universally praised. There’s little question in our Member’s opinion the XC90 is a luxury CUV segment leader."
