So, let’s explore some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to buying a commercial truck.

Q: What size truck do I need for my business?

A: This is one of the most common questions we receive. The size of the truck you need will depend on the type of business you have and the tasks you need the truck to perform. For smaller businesses, a cargo van may be sufficient for transportation and light-duty work. However, for larger industries such as construction, a heavy-duty truck like the Ram 3500 may be necessary. Our team of professionals at Island Ram Chevrolet Commercial can assist you in evaluating your business’s needs and recommending the perfect size truck for you.

Q: Should I buy a new or used truck?

A: This is a decision that ultimately depends on your budget and needs. New trucks offer the latest technology and can come with warranties, while used trucks may be more affordable and have a proven track record of reliability. Our dealership offers both new and used trucks, allowing you to make the best choice for your business without compromising on quality.

Q: What is the difference between a chassis cab and a pickup truck?

A: A chassis cab is a bare truck frame with an engine, transmission, and cab but without a bed. It allows for customization to fit your specific business needs. On the other hand, a pickup truck comes with a standard bed attached to the frame. Chassis cabs are popular for industrial and commercial use, while pickup trucks are more versatile for personal and light-duty work.

Q: Do I need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to drive a commercial truck?

A: Depending on the weight and type of truck, you may need a CDL to operate it. Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more typically require a CDL. Our team is well-versed in the licensing requirements and can help you determine if a CDL is necessary for the truck you are interested in.

Q: What financing options do you offer for commercial trucks?

A: At Island Ram Chevrolet Commercial, we understand that purchasing a commercial vehicle is a considerable investment for businesses. That’s why we offer a variety of competitive financing options to fit your budget. Our team can work with you to find the best financing solution for your business.

Q: Can I customize my commercial truck?

A: Yes, you can! As mentioned earlier, chassis cabs allow for customization to fit your business needs. Our dealership offers upfitting options, such as adding shelving, toolboxes, or other modifications to make your truck work more efficiently for you. We also offer a range of exterior enhancements to give your truck a unique and professional look.

Q: What is your warranty coverage for new and used trucks?

A: All new commercial trucks come with standard warranty coverage from the manufacturer. Our dealership also offers additional extended warranty options for both new and used trucks. For used vehicles, we carefully inspect and refurbish them before selling, ensuring they are in top condition for your business.
