ALWAYS CONSIDER TCO
When it comes to investing in a truck, it is important to consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to ensure that you are looking at the total picture. Whether it is buying a new truck, having your truck serviced, or buying new parts, it is important to think beyond immediate price, and consider all of the factors that will affect your profitability. Factors like fuel efficiency, uptime, telematics, safety, quality, and resale value all of these contribute to your TCO. TCO goes further than simply the price of a truck. Always speak to the sales representative about the TCO prior to investing in a truck.
