No matter its capability as a workhorse, starting the New Year with a dirty, dented, or rusty truck could leave clients thinking less of your ability to be careful and considerate of their own property. (Not to mention, your company logo is much more noticeable on a shiny, up-to-date vehicle.) Whether you're looking for a new truck for jobsite work or pre-construction house calls, these new models and accessories will help you get the job done.

Dodge.
The 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab boasts 143.2 cubic feet of interior space.

The Cummins engine, mated with a new six-speed automatic transmission, delivers 350 hp and 650 pound-feet of low-end torque. Dual-rear-wheel configuration is available on the 3500 model. 800.423.6343. www.dodge.com. Delta.

DiamondBack Truck Covers. The Diamond-Back Commercial Series truck bed system's patented truck bed cover is constructed of 1/8-inch-thick aluminum alloy and is capable of bearing 1,600 pounds, or up to the load limit of the vehicle.

The 2007 Tundra has been redesigned for more capacity and strength.
