An Overview

A landscape truck is generally based on a chassis cab design, which is made from a truck cab and a chassis without a bed or box behind it. The body of the landscape truck is installed on this base frame, and it can be a flatbed, a dry box, or a dump body, depending on your needs. Landscape trucks are usually equipped with a flatbed that has rails and racks to allow for the secure storage of tools and equipment during transit.

Buying Tips

When shopping for a landscape truck, there are a few key points you’ll want to keep in mind. First and foremost, you should establish a firm budget so you can rule out anything that’s out of your price range. Don’t forget to include maintenance and upkeep costs, as well as insurance fees. You’ll also want to take the time to figure out the size based on the loads you plan to carry. A good way to save some money is to look into compact models with higher fuel efficiency. Bigger isn’t always better, especially if you don’t need that extra space which will only increase fuel consumption.

You’ll also want to keep in mind the requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT). If you work in multiple states, you’ll need a landscape truck that fulfills those states’ DOT requirements, too. Research what these requirements are ahead of time so you can find a suitable model.

Finally, you’ll want to think about how much weight you’ll need to haul on a regular basis and whether a given landscape truck is up to the task. Look carefully at the gross volume weight (GVW) of the trucks you’re considering so you can make sure that the vehicle will be able to haul everything you need it to carry on a regular basis.
