Fleet Upgrade
General Motors of Canada offers full
contractor packages as a no-charge
incentive on new trade trucks
GM offers pickups to suit virtually every construction
site need.
GM full-sized cargo van with the Work-Ready package
is fully equipped before it leaves the dealership,
allowing the contractor to get right to work and
avoid costly downtime to have the van outfitted.
The role of a vehicle used by a
manager or engineer may be
considerably different from that
of a truck used by technicians
and other job site personnel.
For any contractor still debating whether to outfit a new truck himself or use a professional, General
Motors of Canada will make their decision a no-brainer.
GM is offering a number of no-charge options through its Business Choice program for fleet vehicles.
These include a complete upfit for GM cargo vans. The package consists of an all-purpose storage bin
system with partition or polymer liner with partition and factory floor mat from Adrian Steel. Each package
can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual contractor.
The Work-Ready Equipment cargo van package, valued at up to $2725, is available for Chevrolet
Express, Chevrolet Uplander, GMC Safari, and GMC Savana cargo vans. The Work-Ready package
for Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado along with GMC Sierra and Canyon pickups offers a choice
of different toolbox configurations.
These are just two of the incentive packages that GM is offering its fleet vehicle customers. And
the GM Business Choice program has been expanded to include more vehicles and more options.
The program now covers all Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick and GMC sport utility vehicles (SUVs),
vans and pickups. This recognizes that the role of a vehicle used by a manager or engineer may be
considerably different from that of a truck used by technicians and other job site personnel. There
are actually three no-cost option packages available depending on the type and role of the vehicle.
The Commercial Upfit Cash Back program provides $500 to $750 towards the purchase or lease of any
eligible vehicle. By removing that amount from the price, the contractor can apply the money to GM
Canada accessories or upgrades from an outfitter of their choice.
GM accessories eligible under the Business Choice program include things such as a bed liner, bed rail
protectors, bed rack, bed extender, trailer hitch mount package, under seat storage, tie-down hooks, hard
or soft tonneau cover, running boards and outside rearview mirror extenders.
The program also covers non-GM options such as racks, bins and interior shelving, safety
partitions/bulkheads, winches, under-hood integrated power generators and snowplows.
When the vehicle requires no upfitting, GM’s Business Choice Tool Package offers $500 or $1000 tool
packages from DeWalt, Delta and/or Porter Cable. Or if tools are not your thing, the program also offers
a $500 Home Depot Gift Card.
Contractors must have a GM fleet account number to be eligible for the GM Canada Business Choice
program. They can apply for this through their GM dealer or at fleet.gmcanada.com. The rules are straightforward
– a contractor must either purchase three GM fleet vehicles or have five or more GM vehicles in
his/her commercial fleet.

The Commercial Upfit Cash Back program offers both GM and aftermarket
truck accessories.
