The 3500 Chassis Cab suits landscapers, contractors and small fleets that need a flatbed or service body. The 4500 and 5500 step up to heavier upfits like dump bodies, wreckers and larger service bodies.
Tradesman keeps costs low for fleet work, while Big Horn adds comfort features for drivers who spend all day in the cab.
Our Commercial Center can help you choose cab-to-axle length, engine and PTO configuration, and coordinate upfitting.
Cab choices and cab-to-axle lengths affect which bodies fit, so it helps to know the upfit before ordering. Share your body specifications, required payload and towing needs with our Commercial Center, and we can recommend the 3500, 4500 or 5500 configuration that fits.
