Work Truck Wednesday - Having Your Cake and Eating It Too!






It is much more efficient to carry the tools, parts, products, and accessories and stay in the field rather than go back and forth to the shop. Sometimes, the perfect solution is a larger truck body. First, we need a chassis to handle it, and for convenience and efficiency's sake, we want it to be maneuverable too!

This truck may very well solve all of those issues. We begin with the Chevrolet LCF (Low Cab Forward) 4500 chassis with 14,500 lbs. gross vehicle weight rating, a 6.6 gas V8, 6-speed automatic, AC, and many other convenience features.

To this, we add the famous Knapheide KUV plumber-style body. This 132" wheelbase chassis allows the 13' utility body to fit perfectly and gives you a larger body to carry more cargo. The good news is that the turning radius or maneuverability is excellent. Even with this large truck body, this chassis will turn a circle inside the turning circle of a typical full-size pickup with an 8' bed. That's having your cake and eating it too!

This combination is hard to come by, so call 951-364-2499 and talk with one of our fleet specialists today and let us solve your most pressing work truck issues.
