Q. How does upfitting impact operating costs?

A. Having the proper upfit can reduce your operating costs. Properly spec’ing the chassis and upfit equipment based on what payload the vehicle is intended to haul can prevent premature drivetrain, tire, suspension, and brake wear. This will help you control fuel and maintenance expenditures. Safety features can also reduce accidents, downtime, and insurance claims for both drivers and vehicles.
