How to buy:

Start by providing your Sales Consultant with detailed answers to these questions:

What set of tasks do you have in mind for the vehicle?

What kind of body (platform, stake, van, etc.) do you want on the vehicle?

Do you know how long this specialty body needs to be?

Did you have a previous vehicle used for this job?

Was its capacity sufficient? Was it too long or too short?

How would you improve on it now?

What is the weight of the specialty body that you’ll be using?

Can you provide other specifications for your existing specialty body?

Who is the manufacturer? What’s the model number?

Return on InvestmentReturn on Investment

How to buy con’t

Do you need a recommendation for a new, GM-approved specialty body supplier?

What is the maximum payload weight that you’ll be hauling?

Will you add a rear lift-gate, snowplow or other significant equipment that will affect payload capacity and weight distribution?

If applicable, do you prefer a Regular Cab, Extended Cab or Crew Cab chassis?

Will you choose a gas or diesel engine?

Do you want an automatic or manual transmission?

Do you have a top-heavy application or severe duty application such as a dump, tanker, refuse packer or high-capacity crane?

Answering these questions will put you and your Sales Consultant on the right track to selecting the GM vehicle that’s a perfect fit for the job.

Use the following payload weights to estimate loads. Subtract 150 lbs per person from the payload and remember to reduce payload calculation by the weight of such add-ons as a snow plow, rear tailgate lift, and any tools or items carried in the cab.

PayloadPayload

These payload weights are also listed in the Online Order Guide.

Approximate Weight of Materials

Most materials and commodities vary in weight, and containers vary in shape and size. Therefore, it is impossible to list anything but average weights per cubic foot or per unit of measurement. Weights should be used only for approximation purposes.

When it is necessary to figure weights accurately for recommendation of truck or tractor-trailer equipment, exact weights and dimensions should be obtained from local sources.

Note: payload is determined by adding chassis, body and accessory weights and subtracting from gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) .

Gross Combined Vehicle Weight, is the maximum weight allowed (as above) including any trailer weight.

Passive or Auto Regeneration: Soot burns off automatically in driving conditions that create sufficient heat.Active or Forced Regeneration: Engine controls are used to add additional fuel to elevate the exhaust gas temperature to burn off accumulated soot.Manual Regeneration Switch

GM MD vehicles will have an instrument panel switch to initiate regeneration, but this can only be activated under appropriate operating conditions.GM Light Duty vehicles will not have this feature
