Work Truck Wednesday Is Landscape Dump Wednesday!

 







When is it not landscaping time in California? We're now in peak season! So, check out this heavy-duty Landscape Dump on a chassis designed to carry the load. 

We begin with the medium-duty Silverado 5500 with a hefty 19,500 lbs. gross vehicle weight rating. It has the legendary Duramax diesel powerplant mated to the HD Allison automatic. Plenty of creature comforts too.

Now add the Scelzi 14' Steel Landscape Dump with some great options, including rear swing-away gates at the rear, two side swing-away gates at the front with step, underbed toolboxes, retractable tarp, receiver hitch and wiring plug, and more.

This truck will get the job done efficiently and effectively with room for three adults too.

Up Close With the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse: Taking New Looks and Tech Off-Road If You Want It


Cars.com Road Test Editor Brian Normile explores the refreshed 2024 Chevrolet Traverse, specifically the range-topping RS and all-new Z71 off-road trim. While he hasn’t had a chance to drive the new Traverse to see how it performs, particularly with its all-new powertrain, what he saw is promising and should make the Traverse a more viable option in a highly competitive segment.

The looks of the new Traverse are more rugged, and while it isn’t a body-on-frame design like the larger Tahoe, the new styling makes it look a bit like a baby Tahoe. The Z71 gets both styling and functional updates that should make it a bit more capable off-road. It’s not a more serious Trail Boss or ZR2, so don’t expect too much, but the trim is more than just an appearance package. At the other end of the spectrum, the sporty-looking RS boasts blacked-out exterior trim and substantial 22-inch rims, as well as a sport-tuned suspension.

For 2024, the Traverse gains hands-free driving via GM’s Super Cruise technology, and this version includes both trailering support and automatic lane changes. Inside, the all-new — and standard — 17.7-inch touchscreen is a significant leap forward for the Traverse and the class as a whole.

Other interior updates include making the third row accessible from both sides of the SUV instead of the previous generation’s passenger-side access.

Work Truck Wednesday: The Ultimate Contractor Body!

 






This may be the ultimate Contractor Body from Harbor Truck and Van. This 12' Contractor Body sports double upper bed toolboxes with the top doors opening upward and the bottom ones downward, giving a lot of room for tools, parts, and more. Around the rear are fold-down contractor-style short gates that can be out of the way to do work on the back end of the truck bed, and because they are attached, there are no worries about leaving any of them behind. Add to this a heavy-duty cantilevered forklift loadable material rack, class 5 receiver with wiring plug, and a nice wide and deep step bumper too. We can't forget the large underbed toolboxes!

This great truck body is mounted on the Chevrolet Silverado 5500 Medium-Duty chassis with the legendary Duramax diesel mated to the Allison automatic transmission. A little bling is added with the aluminum wheels, and this also has creature comforts to make driving this rig to and from jobs a joy.
