Cost Savings
In many life styles the Truck Transformer system eliminates the need for the extra vehicle(s).
As an example many entrepreneurs own and drive a truck with a specific truck body,
e.g. pickup truck with service boxes, van truck, service body truck, trades van, etc.,
during working hours and a second for home and/or recreation use.
With the Transformer system one pickup truck chassis can full fill all the needs mentioned above.
Reducing the number of trucks also reduces operating costs.
The table below is a 5 year operating cost of a vehicle.
Apply the “Total 5 Year Depreciation & Insurance Costs” that you would save by eliminating one vehicle
to the purchase price of the Truck Transformer system and see what the transformer system really costs you?
We have only listed a few examples where a truck can be eliminated.
See if you can eliminate a vehicle with this system.
| Vehicle Type | PurchasePrice | 5 year Cost of Depreciation |
5 year Cost of Vehicle Insurance |
Total 5 year Depreciation & Insurance Costs |
| 1) Pickup ( diesel) | $ 45,015.00 | $ 26,242.00 | $ 7,776.00 | $ 34,018.00 |
| 2) Pickup (gas) | $ 38,420.00 | $ 21,555.00 | $ 7,776.00 | $ 29,331.00 |
| 2) Trades van | $ 28,860.00 | $ 16,376.00 | $ 6,128.00 | $ 22,504.00 |
| 3) Motorhome | $ 75,000.00 | $ 33,173.00 | $ 5,657.00 | $ 38,830.00 |
1) These savings keep increasing for each passing year for as long as you own the Transformer.
2) The higher maintenance costs of owning a 2nd vehicle was not taken into consideration in the above table.
3) By eliminating one vehicle the total yearly mileage will accumulate on one vehicle.
The increased mileage and the above table cost savings allow a prudent owner to consider upgrading the remaining truck to a new more fuel efficient unit, which again could decrease yearly operating costs.
Pickup Truck
Pickup truck purchase price (MRSP) based on the 2004 model year Ford F250 XLT Super Cab diesel and gas
