A Buyer’s Guide to Cab and Chassis Trucks

If you’ve never seen a cab and chassis truck before, you may not realize just how unique these vehicles are! These trucks have no beds whatsoever. The chassis is left exposed to allow owners to install unique implements or equipment. If you’re interested in having a cab and chassis truck of your own, be sure to read through our helpful buyer's guide before arriving at the dealership.

Parts & Equipment 

Cab and chassis trucks have a number of different end attachments available on the market, and it’s important to have a few in mind before choosing your new vehicle. Some equipment, such as cranes, may need to use your truck as a power source, while other attachments may require an extremely high towing ability. Before you select your cab and chassis truck, be sure to first browse through your dealership’s available implements to be sure all parts are compatible. 

Size 

While larger cab and chassis trucks are more effective at carrying extremely weighty cargo, they can also come with a few downsides. Gas is often more expensive for these models, and it can be nearly impossible to find a parking spot or storage area for them. On the other hand, smaller models may not be equipped to carry everything you need in one trip. As a result, you’ll end up increasing the overall wear and mileage of your vehicle, or overload your truck and risk it breaking down. Before selecting a model, be sure to have an idea in mind of the type of cargo you’ll be carrying and what sized truck is best suited to the job.
