Westfield, N.C. (July 22, 2026) – A special AGwagon® wrapped to commemorate America’s 250th independence anniversary will be on hand at the Ag PhD Field Day on Thursday, July 30th. Come see the AGwagon, designated as the official ag truck of Ag PhD, on display in The Certified Agriculture Group’s AgPack® Village.

Being the only agricultural program in the automotive industry, a stop at The Certified Agriculture Group (TCAG) exhibit during field day will open farmers and ranchers eyes wide to all their pickup truck purchase and ownership experience should be. From specialty agricultural service contracts and financing, to a truck ROI worth more than $48,000, to agriculture specialists inside the dealership and AGwagon, farmers finally have a home in the pickup truck world like they do with all their other farm/ranch equipment.

Farmers can stop by the Hefty Seed home farm outside Baltic, SD to see all the upgrades that make AGwagon unique and visit with several of the leading agricultural companies that make up the AgPack partner family. This will include the opportunity to see everything from a stock Chevrolet to a fully upfitted base AGwagon with a custom Bedrock bed.

The First Purpose-Built Truck

“The AGwagon is the first purpose-built truck designed by farmers and ranchers for farmers and ranchers,” says Pat Driscoll, founder and CEO of The Certified Ag Group. “Each truck is specifically built to meet the rugged demands of farmers and ranchers, from hauling heavy loads to navigating field terrain.”

Ford and RAM AGwagons are available now, while GMC and Chevrolet models are coming in 2027. AGwagons are upfitted with ultra HD custom bumpers, retooled suspension, heavy duty tires and wheels, and upgraded heavy duty interior features, just to mention a few of the 28 total functional modifications. The daily activities on a farm and ranch can be challenging, and AGwagon is equipped to help make some of those chores a bit easier.

“Every AGwagon comes equipped with unique features that you won’t be able to find on any other truck, but that are essential to getting work done on the farm,” says Driscoll. “That’s the result of the farmers and ranchers who helped design the AGwagon. They told us what they wanted in a truck, and we made sure they got it.”

AGwagon trucks are manufactured in partnership with the world renowned off-road specialists at Fox Factory and available at any dealership. However, if a farmer or rancher purchases an AGwagon from a Certified Ag Dealership, where dealers are specially trained to offer packages unique to farmers and ranchers, they will be eligible for several farm/ranch focused products including AgPack+.

AgPack, a collaborative effort among 29 top ag companies that now represents more than $48,000* in aggregated farm/ranch supply savings to the agricultural truck buyer. In 2025, AgPack redemption savings averaged $19,171 per truck that farmers and ranchers purchased.

In addition to the commemorative truck, a flat-bed AGwagon will be on display as well. Be sure to stop by any time during Ag PhD Field Day to see the AGwagons and learn more about how AgPack can help you get discounts on valuable products. To learn more, visit www.agwagon.com or getagpack.com.
