Work Truck Solutions Announces Collaboration with Ford Pro to Power Commercial Vehicle ‘Locator’

This new feature on FordPro.com makes finding complete work-ready commercial trucks and vans easy for business and fleet customers

/EIN News/ -- Chico, CA, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Work Truck Solutions^®, the industry’s leading commercial vehicle solution provider, announced a collaboration with Ford Pro, America’s commercial vehicle leader, to launch an online tool that enables customers to search for and locate road and work-ready trucks and vans available in Ford dealer inventory. 

LocateFordWorkTrucks.com, also found on FordPro.com, is powered by Work Truck Solutions, making it easy for customers to find, purchase and replace upfitted commercial vehicles including racks, bins, body equipment, service bodies and more – all from in-stock options at Ford dealerships across the country.

“This tool is an incredible advantage to Ford Pro customers looking for commercial trucks and vans already in dealer inventory,” said Esteban Plaza-Jennings, Ford Pro’s upfit manager. “The strength of the tool really shines when you need to find an upfit vehicle. Rather than order a vehicle, then wait for it to be delivered and upfit, they can now locate a completed work truck or van instantly. Think about small and medium customers whose revenue relies on keeping their fleet on the road, just one down vehicle can be a huge blow to their daily revenue.”

Work Truck Solutions' advanced search technology is embedded within the FordPro.com website, providing a seamless user experience for finding the ideal configuration of Ford commercial vehicles. The Vehicle Search Page is tailored to align with Ford's commitment to Built Ford Tough^® quality and customer satisfaction, allowing for an easy, efficient, vehicle selection process.

Site visitors will experience an intuitive interface that includes sophisticated search filters tailored to specific vehicle requirements, such as body type, vehicle class, fuel type, body manufacturer, and geographic location. This functionality ensures that businesses are matched with the best vehicle for their unique use case.

“We are excited about how this alignment with Ford Pro serves business buyers nationally,” said Kathryn Schifferle, founder and Chief Vision Officer at Work Truck Solutions. “Our mission has always been about connecting businesses with the right vehicles as efficiently as possible. By partnering with Ford Pro, we have built a direct connection between Ford’s market-leading exceptional range of commercial vehicles, their dealers who offer them, and the customers who need work trucks and vans that satisfy their diverse business needs.”

Schifferle went on to say, “This collaboration is a testament to the shared commitment of Ford Pro and Work Truck Solutions to provide unparalleled tools that serve customers on their journey and strengthen the ability of dealerships to deliver what their buyers need, all while adding efficiency and value to the entire commercial vehicle ecosystem.”
