From HVAC to construction, here are the top vehicles that get the job done.
Whether you're managing a growing HVAC business or outfitting a construction crew, choosing the right fleet vehicles can make or break your team's productivity. In Canada’s diverse climate and terrain, trades professionals need reliable, versatile, and properly outfitted trucks and vans to support day-to-day operations.
We’ve rounded up four of the top recommended work vehicles—two cargo vans and two pickup trucks—that are available in Canada in 2025 and are ideal for trades-based businesses.
