Why is it masculine?

Camión is a Spanish masculine noun meaning "truck" or "lorry." It derives from the French "camion" (a small wheeled vehicle or cart), which comes from Latin "camio." The word is masculine in Spanish because it follows the pattern of Spanish nouns ending in "-ión" (derived from Latin "-ionem"), which are typically masculine in gender. This is a productive and regular pattern in Spanish rather than an exception; most nouns ending in "-ión" are masculine (e.g., canción, acción, emoción).
