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?

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.
Payload






Use the following payload weights to estimate loads. Subtract 150 lb.
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.
These payload weights are also listed in the Online Order Guide.
Approximate Weights 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.
