Who is responsible for determining the body or upfit needed for the vehicle?

The responsibility for determining the body or upfit needed for a vehicle typically falls to the sales consultant and upfitter working in close collaboration with the customer. This duo is essential because the sales consultant engages directly with the customer to understand their specific needs and requirements for the vehicle's use. Meanwhile, the upfitter possesses specialized knowledge about the modifications that can be made to the vehicle, ensuring that these enhancements meet both the operational demands and compliance standards.

This collaborative approach allows for a tailored solution that aligns with the customer's operational needs, making it the most effective way to define vehicle specifications. The input from both the sales consultant and the upfitter ensures that all aspects of the vehicle's application are considered, leading to an optimal upfit that will be practical and functional for the intended usage.
