The tools use your inputs to organize a purchase or ownership decision. Start with the configuration explorer if truck identity is uncertain, the payload planner if the load is the deciding factor, or the cost tools if you are comparing operating assumptions.
- Keep ratings from the truck separate from estimates you supply for the load.
- Use fuel cost to compare consumption and prices, then add the other cash expenses in ownership planning.
- A value checklist organizes comparable-truck evidence; it is not a transaction-based appraisal.
