Used 2019 Landscape Trucks For Sale

Used 2019 landscape trucks are built around one job: moving bulky, lightweight material efficiently while still handling dump duties on tight commercial and residential routes. In this segment, buyers usually find Class 4 and Class 5 cabover chassis like the Isuzu NPR HD, often set up with 14-foot to 15-foot landscape dump bodies, high sidewalls, swing gates, barn doors, tarps, and trailer hitches. That combination makes them popular for hauling mulch, brush, leaves, palletized supplies, and mixed site debris without stepping up to a much larger straight dump truck.

For a 2019 model, the first decision is usually chassis and powertrain. Many trucks in this category use a 14,500-lb GVWR platform, which keeps them maneuverable and well suited for landscaping crews, municipalities, and property maintenance contractors. Cabover trucks are especially common because they offer a tight turning radius, good forward visibility, and easier urban access than a conventional-nose truck. Gas and diesel options are both common in this class. A diesel can make sense for higher annual mileage and frequent towing, while a gas truck may appeal to buyers prioritizing simpler maintenance and lower upfront cost.

The body spec matters as much as the chassis. Landscape trucks are also known as landscape dump trucks or landscape dump bodies, and the useful features are straightforward: 48-inch to 51-inch sides for volume, a wide rear barn door or swing gate for unloading, a tarp system for legal road travel, and a hoist strong enough to handle wet debris or dense material when the truck is not just carrying mulch. Aluminum bodies help reduce curb weight and resist corrosion, while steel bodies can be attractive for harder use and lower repair complexity. If crews tow skid steers, mini excavators, or equipment trailers, check for a frame-mounted hitch, brake controller or electric brake wiring, and a 7-way RV plug.

On a used 2019 landscape truck, condition should be judged by the upfit as closely as the engine and transmission. Inspect the hoist, hinge points, floor, side panels, rear doors, tarp assembly, and any scissor lift cylinder for signs of twisting, cracked welds, or corrosion from wet organic loads. Service records, lease maintenance history, and evidence of regular hydraulic and brake work add real value in this category. Buyers comparing listings should also look at cab configuration, side height, door design, payload tradeoffs, and whether the truck's body setup matches the actual work cycle, because a truck hauling brush every day needs a different body emphasis than one towing equipment and dumping heavier mixed material.
