How To Choose a Landscaping Truck

Ram automakers offer a selection of the best landscape trucks to help you get landscaping, hardscaping, and lawn care done efficiently. You need reliability, durability, and enough power to bring any equipment you need to the next job site – but deciding on a landscaping truck might be more complex than it seems.

There are many factors to consider, including the scope of your business, the number of employees who need access to vehicles, the number and types of jobs you typically take on, and the type, size, and weight of the equipment you use. For example, if you primarily need an everyday truck that can reliably drive to jobs and do light work, you’ll likely want a light-duty 1500 truck that can also be competitively fuel-efficient. If you need a more powerful truck that can tow trailers and heavier equipment, you will benefit most from a heavy-duty 2500 or 3500 truck or a landscape dump truck.

In addition to your business needs, consider the ever-changing landscape of government emissions regulations. As emissions standards continue to evolve, landscaping companies must weigh the cost of maintaining their fleet. If your current vehicles do not meet federal and state requirements, your business could be fined. When updating, you might want to look for a vehicle with low emissions or even an electric truck that does not produce emissions at all. The Ram 1500 REV can be exactly that for you when it debuts in the fourth quarter of 2024. Keep this in mind when determining which landscape trucks for sale will offer the most benefit to your business.
