As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year. In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP. Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.
Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.
I’ve seen many times people over buy to start a business. Instead of quality equipment they buy junk and drive an expensive truck. Our first haul truck was a 2 ton wrecker with 6 cylinder to haul our equipment. It would go 60 miles per hour flat out. Our trucks were older trucks we could work on easily. Our equipment was first class that we could work without fear of breaking down. You could always use large trash bags to wrap for water proofing. Put the money where the return is. Comfort and luxury comes with success. Good luck in your venture.
Thank you, it looks like I have to get a topper or a box van. Unfortunately, the only vans that can tow what I am looking for are going to be 3/4 ton vans, which may ride rough if I am going to use this on the road extensively. I may also use it to take marketing clients out on the road.
Not knowing anything about starting a business, my goal is to start small, use things I already have & keep everything in good working order. I have a small box trailer, need to install lights in it, and same for the topper itself.
How easy does Chevy/GMC make our trucks to upfit if we decide to add things like a topper and lights? On Fords, the upfit process was rather easy. Just tie the +12V of the lights to the AUX relay panel and the - to chassis Ground.
I just recently purchased a 2020 gmc Sierra. It has the electronic tailgate and on some occasions I have to push it twice to open.
On the tailgate itself when I push the button it clicks as if it is releasing but doesn’t ( not even if I pull on it) when I push it agin it opens.
On the key fob I double click it then have to do it again for it to open.
Is this normal?
