A used commercial truck is typically worth more when its condition, chassis, configuration and upfit remain useful to the next business. An expensive service body, crane, liftgate or enclosed utility body does not automatically add its original cost to resale value.

Is a Liftgate Worth Paying More for on a Used Box Truck?

A liftgate can be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on a box truck—or hundreds of pounds of equipment your business rarely uses.

Before buying, compare tool access, compartment dimensions, loading space, ladder storage and the payload remaining after the body and equipment are installed. An open service body, enclosed KUV or upfitted cargo van can each make sense when its configuration

Buying Used Service Trucks for Your Fleet: Condition, Equipment & Value

Buying used service trucks for your fleet starts with matching each truck to the work, equipment, and crew it must support. A lower purchase price is useful only when the vehicle's condition and configuration make sense for your business. Compare service-body storage, available vehicle ratings, maintenance information, and any immediate preparation costs. For multiple purchases, consider how consistent layouts can help technicians move between trucks. Chris Hilgeman, owner of SRQ Auto, brings ne
