A Foundation for Specialized Work

What Is a Cab-and-Chassis Truck?

A cab-and-chassis truck includes the cab, engine, drivetrain and exposed rear frame without a traditional pickup bed. This configuration provides a flexible foundation for adding a commercial body designed around a particular type of work.

Depending on the truck's specifications, a cab-and-chassis platform may support a flatbed, dump body, utility body, service body, stake body or other specialized upfit. This flexibility makes chassis-cab trucks valuable to contractors, construction companies, landscapers, delivery businesses, service companies and commercial fleets.

Patriot Motors specializes in used commercial trucks, work vans and equipment. Our inventory changes regularly and may include Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram and other cab-and-chassis models for businesses in North Carolina and across the country.

Chassis-Cab Buying Guide

Match the Truck to the Body and the Work

Choosing a cab-and-chassis truck requires more planning than choosing an ordinary pickup. The chassis, commercial body, cargo, equipment and passengers must work together without exceeding the truck's rated limits.

Before purchasing, identify the type and dimensions of the body you need. You should also understand the weight of the completed upfit, the cargo it will carry, required towing capacity and how the truck will be used each day.

Always confirm vehicle and upfit compatibility with the appropriate manufacturer, upfitter or qualified professional before installing a commercial body.

Important Specifications to Compare

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

GVWR establishes the maximum allowable loaded weight of the truck, including its body, cargo, equipment and passengers.

Payload Capacity

Consider the weight of the commercial body and permanently installed equipment when determining available payload.

Wheelbase

The wheelbase must be appropriate for the intended commercial body and the truck's operating requirements.

Cab-to-Axle Measurement

This measurement helps determine which body lengths and upfit configurations may fit the chassis.

Rear-Axle Configuration

Compare single and dual-rear-wheel configurations according to load, stability and application needs.

Engine Considerations

Gasoline or Diesel Chassis Cab?

The right engine depends on how the completed truck will be used. Diesel engines are often selected for heavier workloads, towing and high annual mileage, while gasoline engines can offer a practical solution for other commercial applications.

Compare purchase price, fuel costs, expected mileage, idle time, maintenance requirements, towing needs and the total weight of the completed vehicle.

Neither engine type is automatically right for every business. The best option is the one that fits your workload and long-term operating plan.

Questions to Ask Before Buying

How much weight will it carry?

Include the body, permanently installed equipment, cargo, tools and passengers.

Will the truck tow regularly?

Calculate the loaded trailer weight and verify the truck's rated towing capacity.

How many miles will it travel?

Expected annual mileage can affect fuel, maintenance and long-term ownership decisions.

What body will be installed?

Confirm the body's size, weight and mounting requirements before selecting a chassis.
