The Best Work Trucks of 2024 [w/ Comparison Tables]
The Best Work Trucks of 2024
Class 1 to Class 8 Work Trucks & Vans
An integral part of our economy and logistics, work trucks make up the backbone of thousands of fleets across the United States. From the RAM 1500 to the Freightliner Cascadia, there are dozens of options for work truck models and trims.
Merchants Fleet has worked directly with the top names in work trucks for over 60 years. Read on for our picks of the best models for each work truck Class and vans, as well as tips for choosing the best work truck for your business.
Why You Need a Commercial Truck
There are just some jobs that are better done with a truck. Compared to smaller vehicles, work trucks provide greater towing and payload capabilities, and are built to withstand long hauls and lengthy road trips.
As an added benefit, the IRS’ Section 179 tax deduction allows businesses to deduct up to 100% of lease payments for commercial vehicles in the first year.
Most trucks are designed to be upfitted, meaning they can be customized to suit your vocational needs. Some applications include:
- Snow Plows
- Dump Trucks
- Cement Mixers
- Refrigeration Trucks
- Delivery Trucks
- Tow Trucks
- Cranes
- Bucket Trucks
But the capabilities of a work truck first start with its gross vehicle weight rating. Read on for the details.
Why is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Important?
All trucks are classified by their gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This is a safety standard that regulates the maximum safe operating weight of a truck to prevent overloading. The manufacturer of the vehicle sets the GVWR by considering the weight-bearing components like the axels, and weaker components such as the frame, body, suspension, and tires. The final GVWR of a truck includes the net weight of the vehicle plus passengers, fuel, and cargo.
GVWR is important when considering work trucks because it determines a vehicle’s Class. The Class of the vehicle then comes with other regulations, like drivers needing certain licenses to operate the vehicle.
Truck Classifications
GVWR | Model Example | |
Class 1 | Under 6,000 lbs. | Chevy Colorado (5,400 lbs.) |
Class 2a | 6,001 lbs. to 8,500 lbs. | Ford F-150 (6,100 lbs.) |
Class 2b | 8,501 lbs. to 10,000 lbs. | Nissan Tital XD (8,600 lbs.) |
Class 3 | 10,001 lbs. to 14,000 lbs. | RAM 3500 (14,000 lbs.) |
Class 4 | 14,001 lbs. to 16,000 lbs. | Chevy Silverado 4500 HD (14,001 lbs.) |
Class 5 | 16,001 lbs. to 19,500 lbs. | RAM 5500 (18,000 lbs.) |
Class 6 | 19,501 lbs. to 26,000 lbs. | Ford F-650 (20,500 lbs.) |
Class 7 | 26,001 lbs. to 33,000 lbs. | Ford F-750 (25,600 lbs. – 31,000 lbs.) |
Class 8 | 33,001 lbs. and Up | International WorkStar (27,500 lbs. – 73,000 lbs.) |
Half-Ton, Three-Quarter Ton & One-Ton Trucks
You may also see trucks listed as being “half-ton,” “three-quarter ton,” or “one-ton.” This classifies trucks by their payload capabilities, also known as the maximum amount of weight they can hold in the cargo and passenger areas. Therefore, a half-ton truck would have a payload capacity of 1,000 lbs.
This classification has become very flexible. Many modern half-ton trucks can have payload capacities of up to 3,000 lbs. Here are a few examples of models by their capacity:
Half-Ton | Three-Quarter Ton | One-Ton |
– GMC Sierra 1500 – RAM 1500 |
– Ford F-250 | – Chevy Silverado – GMC Sierra 3500 |
How to Choose the Best Work Truck for Your Business
Does your business need a work truck with high towing capacity for local hauls or cross-country transportation? Will you need a truck that can be upfitted to plow snow or transport cement?
There are many factors to consider, with a few of the most important ones being:
- Payload Capacity
How much weight will you need to carry? Overestimate here, if possible. - Towing Capacity
How much weight will you need to tow? Again, it is better to overestimate.
- GVWR
You may already have an idea of the GVWR you need for your vehicle. This is important to verify because it may affect the driver’s license necessary to operate the truck. - GCWR
The gross combined weight rating (GCWR) includes the weight of the vehicle and the fully loaded trailer. - Cab Configuration
Work trucks are available in different configurations: regular cab (two front doors), extended cab (two front doors and smaller half doors), or crew cab (four equal full size doors, for four or more people). - SRW or DRW?
Do you need single rear wheels (SRW) or dual rear wheels (DRW)? Trucks with higher GVWR are more likely to come with DRW. - Drivetrain
Rear-wheel drive (RWD), front-wheel drive (FWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), two-wheel drive (2WD, 4×2), or four-wheel drive (4WD, 4×4)? All classes come equipped with 4×2 or 4×4, which will affect payload and towing capacities. - Fuel Type
Would you prefer a truck that uses regular gas or diesel? All classes contain either gas or diesel. Also note that trucks and vans over 1/2 ton are not rated by the EPA. You can visit fueleconomy.gov for more information.
