The cab & chassis (straight truck) is the foundation of countless truck body combinations.  A cab & chassis can be outfitted with any specialized body for your application.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Wheelbase:

The cab & chassis GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) affects what application you can use the particular truck for. A medium duty truck will have GVWR from 14,000lbs to 25,999lbs (Class 4-6). A heavy duty truck has GVWR of 26,000lbs or more (Class 7-8). The GVWR is the maximum operating weight of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturerincluding the vehicle’s chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers being towed.

In addition to the GVWR of the truck, the wheelbase will determine how long of a body you can attach. The Class 7-8 cab & chassis trucks have tandem axle rear. Supporting the higher GVWR.

The transmissions are usually either automatic or 5/6 speed manual.  Engine power is typically from mid hundreds to 300hp.  Bodies requiring hydraulics use standard PTO/hydraulics system to power application.
