Spotlight: Flex Fleet’s Different Truck Styles

A reliable, powerful truck can be one of the most useful pieces of machinery on any type of commercial jobsite. Whether you’re moving pipeline on a ranch, landscaping, building commercial offices or installing solar panels, there’s always more than one use for a pickup or flatbed.  Several industrial projects could benefit from a qualified truck, but most employees just don’t have one of their own. When borrowing a truck from an employee is out of the question, truck rental companies are your best bet. 

Truck rental companies like Flex Fleet offer an array of vehicles at an affordable cost. Flex Fleet supplies the latest Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks in both pickups and flatbeds for your convenience. Below is a brief spotlight on Flex Fleet’s different truck styles. 

4x4 Crew Cab Pickup 

Flex Fleet offers all-wheel drive pickups from Ford, Chevy and Dodge. All three are available in ½ ton, ¾ ton and one ton models for different horsepower and gas mileage needs. On average, the ½ ton vehicles get 15 to 22 miles per gallon, up to 365 horsepower and have 9,600 pounds of towing capacity. These are the most well-rounded and economical vehicles that Flex Fleet offers; they’re perfect for lighter towing and tons of cargo space. 

The ¾ models have just a little more power, as they are capable of towing up to 16,817 pounds with 440 horsepower under the hood. The one ton pickup is the largest vehicle Flex Fleet rents, as it comes equipped with a trailer hitch capable of towing up to 18,500 pounds materials with 440 horsepower.  

4x4 Crew Cab Flatbed 

In the event that a pickup doesn’t offer enough room to transport tools and materials on the jobsite, rent a flatbed. With a flatbed, you are not limited to the confined cargo space within the truck bed, and larger objects are able to fit as long as they are securely fastened. Next time you need a towing powerhouse with tons of storage on your jobsite, consider truck rental companies like Flex Fleet.
