For more than 40 years, Jack Harriman has had a handle on what field mechanics need in a utility truck. His customers have suggested how to build a better “Mechanics Truck.”

“These guys know what they want and need,” said Harriman. After selling these trucks for [more than] 40 years, I think I've reached that level. That's the reason I am now stating that this is 'The Truck That Mechanics Built'.”
