Leandro Totti won his second Fórmula Truck title in three years, after starting the season with five successive victories for the RM Competições team, before adding a sixth victory at the series' only race outside of Brazil, at the Autódromo Oscar Cabalén in Argentina. He finished 44 points clear of his teammate Felipe Giaffone, who was a race winner at Londrina. Third place in the championship went to Wellington Cirino, who piloted his ABF Mercedes to a victory in the season finale, at Goiânia. The season's only other winners were Scuderia Iveco driver Beto Monteiro, who won at Santa Cruz do Sul, while Roberval Andrade won at Guaporé for Corinthians Motorsport. With seven victories from the ten races, MAN Latin America won the manufacturers' championship by over 100 points ahead of the next closest marque, Mercedes-Benz.

Totti and MAN Latin America also won the South American sub-classifications, which was held over four of the first seven races in the 2014 season.
