Choosing the best vehicle for landscaping is easy at Jim Ellis Commercial. Our team is here to take you through our landscaping utility vehicles and a great selection of commercial trucks for sale.

Size and Maneuverability

Size and Maneuverability

When deciding on a landscaping utility vehicle, consider the size of the model needed and the size of the jobs being performed. Suppose your landscaping business requires operators to drive from client to client throughout the day. In that case, pick a landscaping truck bed that provides enough room for lawnmowers, ladders, leaf blowers, trimmers, edgers, and equipment while still being easy to maneuver in clients’ driveways and park on residential streets. We can show you midsize options meeting these requirements.

Truck Bed Lengths and Cab Configurations

Our commercial vehicle dealership carries a wide selection of landscaping trucks for sale in various bed lengths and cab configurations to help businesses choose the best vehicle for landscaping. We also provide commercial vans and box trucks if you want enclosed storage options to protect your equipment from damage and weather.

Power and Performance

After choosing the landscaping truck body style and size that accommodates your landscaping equipment, look for a truck with the power and performance you need to do the job. Our commercial truck dealership carries a wide selection of Ford Super Duty and GMC Sierra trucks for sale.

Commercial Grade Trucks for Sale

When you want a landscaping truck and trailer with enough horsepower, torque, and towing ability to give you the power you need to capably haul your gear, check out our Ford Super Duty landscaping trucks. Performance specs vary by model year, but horsepower options typically range from 385 to 450 horsepower, and torque options range between 430-935 pound-feet.

Diesel Landscaping Vehicles

Ford Super Duty commercial trucks have diesel powertrain options for greater torque and towing capabilities. If a commercial landscaping truck with great towing potential is a priority, climb into a new or used Ford F-250, F-350, or F-450 truck. If torque is the name of the game, consider a GMC Sierra commercial truck for your landscaping business. You’ll have plenty of towing power to bring your snow plows and landscaping equipment along.

MPG Savings

When your crew drives all day, fuel economy quickly becomes a priority. The lineup of Ford F-150 landscaping trucks deliver competitive fuel economy numbers and typically provide more MPGs than Ford Super Duty models while still coming in a range of bed length and performance options.

Attachments and Versatility

Once you decide on the best landscaping truck for your business, it’ll be time to customize your landscaping vehicle with the truck attachments and accessories that give you the organization and easy access you need to deliver quality and efficient work. Our team can help you choose lockable organizer racks for box trucks, trailers, and standard truck beds.

Work Truck Storage Ideas

The key to success with any landscaping truck setup is its organization, which helps you get the most out of your space and grants technicians easy access to equipment throughout the day. Some popular landscaping truck accessories include storage solutions with movable dividers made from durable, corrosion-resistant construction.

Installing lockable multi-rack systems for chainsaws, hedge trimmers, and backpack blowers can provide enough room to park your riding mower and bring spare fuel tanks so you never run out of gas mid-mow.

Tool storage solutions for landscaping vehicles can help crews save time and work more safely. Landscaping crews regularly rely on various tools ranging from string trimmers and edgers to pole pruners and debris blowers. Landscaping tools come in a variety of sizes and require special storage options. Contact our landscaping vehicle dealer for more work truck storage ideas.

Fuel Efficiency and Operating Costs

Fuel efficiency is key when choosing the best vehicle for your landscaping business. Commercial landscapers drive from client to client each day, and fuel costs can quickly be one of your business’s highest operating costs. Choosing a commercial Ford van or GMC truck with the best fuel economy protects the bottom line.

We have work truck solutions that offer a competitive mix of landscaping vehicles for sale that show the power you need to trailer landscaping equipment and the fuel economy that helps you save at the pump.

Safety Features

Safety Features

Vehicle Safety Equipment

The new Ford and commercial GMC trucks for sale at our dealership are equipped with various passive and active automotive safety features. You can expect typical safety systems like seat belts, airbags, and reverse cameras. In addition, many of our commercial trucks for sale come equipped with advanced safety features, such as blind-spot monitors, lane-keeping assist systems, and collision mitigation systems.

Along with vehicle safety features, it’s a smart idea for landscaping crews to have fire extinguishers, safety goggles, work gloves, and a first-aid kit on the vehicle at all times. Safety items should be readily accessible and secured so they won’t move during transit and can be immediately located in case of emergency. If your team uses any landscaping chemicals, appropriate safety equipment and spill containment systems should also be in place.

Equipment Transport Safety

A key aspect of choosing the perfect landscaping truck or van is designing storage solutions that securely store tools, equipment, and chemicals. Along with ensuring sharp tools, power tools, and oversized items such as riding mowers and ladders are securely stored for travel, you want your custom landscaping truck to allow for the safe loading and unloading of equipment. Consider ramps and truck bed rollouts so operators can safely access heavy equipment.

Visual Safety

Custom landscaping truck decals and business logos, reflective signage, lighting options, and other visibility enhancements are great additions to your vehicle and enhance operator and bystander safety.
