Work Trucks

Contractors, professionals in agriculture and other working professionals who need more towing or payload capacity can opt for the F-250, F-350 or F-450 for additional strength with similar features.

Customization is also a prominent feature that makes F-series trucks popular among professionals. They can benefit from a diverse variety of bed size, cab and storage configurations to meet the specific requirements of professionals in different fields. They also have intuitively designed features specifically included based on the needs of professionals, like work lights, tailgate steps and built-in toolboxes. This generational knowledge is an important indicator of Ford’s respect for its customers. They regularly listen to the needs of professionals and incorporate the features its buyers need and want.

However, there’s a reason the F-150 has been consistently dominant in the work truck market. For the price point, it offers the performance the average contractor needs with top-of-the-line features and consistently high marks in reliability and features every model year.  

The Chevrolet Colorado is a midsize pickup truck with a maximum V6 engine. Although it offers impressive towing and payload capacity for its size and class, it doesn’t offer the heavy-duty grade of a Silverado. That being said, it’s still an ideal work truck for many contractors and professionals who don’t necessarily need the higher capacity. It’s also more affordable and fuel efficient, which can be a significant advantage for many contractors and small business owners. Essentially, if you want the dependability and performance of a Silverado but you don’t need quite that much power and you’d like to save money on fuel and purchase price, the Colorado may be the perfect choice.

Like Ford, GMC has been good about listening to the desires of loyal purchasers and incorporating functional features that enhance productivity and ease of use, like the ProGrade Trailering System, multifunction tailgates and trailer hitch guidance.

GMC Sierras are designed to be exceptional work vehicles – full stop. If you’re in the market for an exceptional light duty truck that will meet your business needs, it’s hard to go wrong with a GMC Sierra.

It has a maximum towing capacity of about 6,500 pounds on most model years and a maximum payload capacity ranging from roughly 1,400 to nearly 1,700 pounds. The Tacoma is available with a range of features such as an off-road package and a locking rear differential, making it a good choice for those who need a truck that can handle tough terrain.



While the Tundra and Tacoma may not be as popular as some of their American competitors, such as the Ford F-150 or the Chevrolet Silverado, they are still popular among those who prefer the reliability and durability of Toyota vehicles. They are especially popular with those who need a truck that can handle tough work conditions, such as those in the construction or agricultural industries.

Newer models have also placed a greater emphasis on fuel efficiency, which is a nice bonus for contractors and small businesses looking for ways to minimize costs without sacrificing performance. Like other manufacturers, Dodge knows where its bread is buttered and regularly incorporates the wish lists of RAM loyalists into newer model years. Things like built-in storage, multifunction tailgates and bed extenders have made their way onto recent model year RAM 1500s.



It's comparative lower sales rank makes it a more affordable option than some of the other popular full-size truck models, yet it’s still renowned for its resilient valuations. This makes buying a RAM 1500 a particularly good investment for many small businesses – it costs less to buy, and you’ll be able to recoup a significant amount when you go to trade in or sell the vehicle in the future.
