Upfits for Every Plumbing Vehicle

Are you looking to add a few additional enhancements to one vehicle? Or upfit an entire fleet? Either way, our team will help you figure out exactly what you need. 

Some of the most popular upfits for plumbing vehicles are:
  • Conduit carriers
  • Bins and locker cabinets
  • Shelves
  • Lights
  • Anti-slip flooring

Other options include: 

If you’re looking for something specific, just ask! We offer completely customizable upfits for commercial vehicles from many reputable manufacturers, including Adrian Steel, Bed Rug, Code Alarm, Directed Electronics, Link Ramps, and many more. 

Upfits can be added at any time, but if you decide to finance a vehicle or fleet, you may be able to finance your upfits at the same time. 

Plumbing Vehicle Dimensions, Capabilities & Features 

The pre-owned vehicle you choose will depend on a number of factors, including your budget and the type and amount of equipment you need to transport and store. The dimensions, capabilities, and features for cargo vans and trucks will vary by make, model, body style, and year. If you have something specific in mind, let us know and we’ll help you find exactly what you need. 

Here are some important considerations to keep in mind: 
  • Vehicle size: How much plumbing equipment will you be transporting? Do you need seating for any passengers? Our vehicles come in a range of sizes, which means we likely have what you’re looking for.
  • Cargo capacity: Our pre-owned cargo vans have a capacity range of 123-462 cubic feet. Truck beds will vary in length and width. 
  • Gas vs. diesel: Diesel-equipped vehicles have a higher acquisition cost, but may be a better investment if you consider the total cost of ownership. Typically, 30,000 to 35,000 is a good base to start seeing the advantages of a diesel engine.
  • Must-have features: Are you looking for all-wheel drive? A turbocharged engine? Blind spot monitoring, a rearview camera, or keyless entry? Every vehicle is different, but our online inventory makes it easy to search by feature and find what you’re looking for in minutes!
  • Mileage: Are you in the market for a vehicle with a specific mileage? Most of our trucks and cargo vans have anywhere from 19,000 to 50,000 miles, but some have fewer or more depending on the vehicle.  
  • Off-roading: Will your job require a lot of off-road travel? Pre-owned trucks are ideal options for extensive off-roading since they have four-wheel drive and sit higher off the ground than a cargo van. 
  • Reliability: Take the time to do your homework. Research the makes and models you’re interested in, and see how they compare in terms of budget, mileage, safety, and reviews. Every pre-owned truck and cargo van should come with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, which details a vehicle’s history, including any accidents and open recalls. 
  • Number of seats: How many passenger seats do you need? Regular cab, extended cab, crew cab, and extended crew cab trucks offer different types of seating and cargo configurations. You can also upfit your vehicle to include additional seats or jump seats. 
  • Miles per gallon: Will you be driving your vehicles in the city, on the highway — or both? Miles per gallon will vary depending on the type of vehicle, make, and model. Cargo vans that get good mileage include the Ford Transit, Ford Transit Connect, Nissan NV200, RAM ProMaster, and the RAM ProMaster City. If you’re looking for a truck, we recommend the Ford Super Duty F-250, Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado, Ford F-150, or GMC Canyon. 
  • High vs. low roof: If you need extra headroom (or space to accommodate large, bulky equipment), consider a cargo van with a high roof.

Plumber Vehicle FAQs

Q: What are the best vehicles for plumbers?

A: It depends on your personal preference and budget, but we recommend the RAM ProMaster, Ford Transit, and the Chevy Express cargo vans. 


Q: How many miles will a cargo van last?

A: It depends on the van’s overall condition and how well the vehicle has been maintained. A cargo van can last anywhere from 250,000 to 300,000 miles (with some lasting even longer). 


Q: How many miles will a pre-owned truck last? 

A: It depends on the make, model, and condition of the vehicle, but some trucks can last for up to 200,000 miles or more. 


Q: What should I look for in a used vehicle?

A: Make a list of your “must-haves.” If you’re searching for a vehicle with fewer than 20,000 miles that’s equipped with safety features like blind spot monitoring and a backup camera, make sure those items top your list. Regardless of the type of vehicle you’re looking to buy, it’s important to conduct a visual inspection and look for signs of damage or rust. In addition, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report should be available for all vehicles. This includes information on ownership and title history, warranty checks, accident data, service history, and how the vehicle was previously used. 


Q: What are the best upfits for plumbers?

A: Popular upfits include conduit carriers, bins and locker cabinets, shelves, lights, and anti-slip flooring — but there are many more options.

A: The cost will depend on the make, model, mileage, and overall condition. The bulk of our pre-owned trucks range from $30,000 to $50,000. The majority of our cargo vans fall within the $25,000 to $35,000 range. 


Q: What is the typical mileage on a pre-owned truck or cargo van?

A: It depends on the vehicle, but in general, our vehicles have an average mileage of 19,000 to 50,000.
