*Gross payload capacity equals GVWR minus chassis weight. Installation of specialized equipment or bodies may require frame reinforcement. **Wheelbase selection should be based on specific weight distribution. ***Typical body lengths assume water level load (no specific consideration for driver, passengers, or fuel) to maximize GVWR. Addition of ancillary equipment such as lift gates and refrigeration units not considered in calculations.
