Work and commercial trucks for sale near Houston, Texas include new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD pickups, Silverado chassis cabs, Low Cab Forward box trucks and Express cargo vans, plus used work trucks that come in on trade. At Ron Carter Chevrolet in Alvin, about 30 miles south of Houston via TX-35 and SH 288, you can compare work-ready pickups on one lot on FM 528 and filter them by model, cab, bed, drivetrain, mileage and price below. Business buyers can also work directly with our Business Elite fleet and commercial truck team for upfits, fleet pricing and multi-unit orders.
The trucks on this page come straight from our Alvin inventory, and the list updates as units sell and new ones arrive. Toggle between new and used, narrow it to regular, double or crew cabs, and check the VIN and stock number on any listing before you call. If you also want to see off-road and everyday personal-use pickups, browse our full selection of Chevy trucks for sale in Alvin.
Commercial truck buyers around Houston range from contractors, plumbers, electricians and landscapers to ranchers and service companies working between Brazoria County and the Houston Ship Channel. Most need trucks that start every morning, carry tools securely and can be back on the road quickly after service. That is why we stock work-grade trims alongside our retail pickups and keep a dedicated fleet line at 281-388-8100.
The new Chevy Silverado 1500 in WT (Work Truck) trim is the go-to half-ton for crews that need a long bed, a durable interior and room for a toolbox. For heavier trailers and payloads, the new Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD add heavy-duty frames, available dual rear wheels and gas or Duramax diesel power. The midsize new Chevy Colorado in WT trim fits tight job sites and city parking garages, and our Duramax diesel trucks near Houston page shows every diesel pickup in stock.
When a pickup bed isn’t enough, Chevrolet builds bare chassis ready for a service body, dump bed, flatbed or box. The Silverado 3500HD chassis cab is a common base for service and utility bodies, while the Silverado 4500HD medium-duty truck and its 5500HD and 6500HD siblings use a Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 with an Allison transmission. The cab-over Chevrolet Low Cab Forward gives delivery and moving fleets a tight turning circle, and the Chevy Express Cargo van and Express Cutaway handle mobile workshops, shuttles and box-van builds.
Start with the job, not the truck. Write down the heaviest trailer you pull, the heaviest load you carry and the equipment the truck must hold, then match those numbers to a model.
An in-stock truck can go to work the same day, which matters when a vehicle is down and every day costs money. A factory order lets you pick the exact cab, bed, axle ratio, engine and trailering equipment, which is often the better route for a chassis cab headed to an upfitter. Ask us about current order timing before you commit, since production schedules change through the year.
A new work truck comes with full factory warranty coverage, eligibility for Chevrolet business offers and no unknown maintenance history. Used commercial trucks for sale in Houston cost less up front and can be a smart pick for a second crew truck or a startup business. If you go used, ask for the service records, look closely at the hitch, bed and frame, and compare options on our used Chevy Silverado 1500 trucks for sale and used cars and trucks for sale near Houston pages.
Fleets with predictable daily routes and overnight parking can look at the Chevy Silverado EV, which is offered in a Work Truck trim. Electric trucks cut fuel stops and routine oil changes out of the schedule, but range drops with heavy towing, so run your longest workday through the numbers before you buy.
Business buyers may be able to deduct some or all of a qualifying truck’s purchase price in the year it is placed in service, and heavier vehicles over 6,000 lbs GVWR often qualify for larger deductions. Read our Section 179 heavy vehicle tax deduction guide for the basics, then confirm your situation with a tax professional before you sign.
Houston-area crews ask a lot of a truck, from hauling skid steers down muddy lease roads to idling in summer heat between jobs.
Match the truck to the trailer, not the other way around. The Silverado 1500 handles utility trailers and lighter equipment, while properly equipped Silverado 3500HD dually models are rated to tow more than 30,000 lbs with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. Check the trailering label on the driver’s door jamb for the exact rating of any truck, and see our Silverado 2500HD towing capacity guide for how configuration changes the numbers.
GVWR, or gross vehicle weight rating, is the most a loaded truck can weigh, and it decides more than payload. In Texas, a single vehicle rated at 26,001 lbs or more requires a Class B license, and a trailer rated over 10,000 lbs that brings the combination to 26,001 lbs or more requires a Class A license. Chevy’s Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD chassis cabs top out at a 23,500-lb GVWR, below the Class B threshold. Intrastate carriers running vehicles over 26,000 lbs also need a USDOT number and a TxDMV motor carrier number.
If your crews spend the day on I-45, SH 288 and Beltway 8, a Duramax diesel’s low-end torque and highway efficiency can pay off, especially when you tow most days. Gas engines usually cost less up front and suit stop-and-go service routes with lighter loads. The Express van uses a 6.6L V8 gas engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which keeps fueling and maintenance simple for mixed fleets.
Buying new puts current safety technology and full factory coverage on your crew’s side from the first mile.
Chevrolet’s Business Choice program offers eligible business buyers a cash allowance toward qualifying upfits, such as box, flatbed or stake bodies, shelving, toppers and graphic wraps, or toward GM accessories. Allowance amounts and minimum upfit costs vary by model and model year. Keep in mind that equipment added by independent upfitters is covered by the upfitter, not by the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Many current Chevy pickups include Chevy Safety Assist, which bundles Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Alert. Available trailering camera systems help with hitching and backing on tight job sites. Equipment varies on vans and chassis cabs, so ask us to confirm what’s on a specific unit, and look up crash-test results through NHTSA’s 5-Star Safety Ratings.
New Chevrolet trucks include 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranties, and Duramax diesel engines are covered for 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage terms can differ on medium-duty chassis cabs and on upfit equipment. If your trucks rack up miles quickly, our finance team can walk you through Chevrolet vehicle protection plans.
GM’s commercial lineup has shifted recently, so it helps to know what’s still built before you plan a fleet purchase.
Chevrolet’s current commercial lineup includes the Colorado, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD pickups, the Silverado 3500HD chassis cab, the Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD medium-duty trucks, the Low Cab Forward, the Silverado EV and the Express Cargo and Cutaway vans. Trucks already built and headed our way are listed on our in-transit Chevy vehicles page, so you can reserve one before it arrives.
GM ended production of its BrightDrop electric delivery vans at its CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, in October 2025. Fleets that were considering a BrightDrop can look at the Express Cargo van or a Low Cab Forward box truck instead, depending on payload and route length.
A truck on the lot today can start earning money tomorrow, and outgoing model-year units may carry different offers as new inventory arrives. If the next model year adds an engine, rating or feature you need, such as the new 8.3L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 coming to the next-generation Silverado HD, ordering may make more sense. We can price both side by side.
Here’s what goes into the price of a work truck in Texas, from the window sticker to the monthly payment.
Price depends on cab, bed length, engine, drivetrain, trim, mileage and any upfit. A regular-cab gas Silverado 1500 WT sits at the low end of new pricing, while a dually Silverado 3500HD with a Duramax or a medium-duty chassis cab with a finished body costs considerably more. Texas charges a 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax on the sales price minus your trade-in allowance, so a $50,000 truck with a $15,000 trade is taxed on $35,000, which comes to $2,187.50.
Use our truck payment calculator to test prices, down payments, rates and terms before you visit. When you’re ready, the auto finance team at Ron Carter Chevrolet works with multiple lenders and can help sole proprietors, LLCs and established fleets structure a loan or lease.
Get an online trade-in value for your current work truck in a few minutes. In Texas, a trade lowers both the amount you finance and the amount you pay sales tax on. Chevrolet’s retail and business offers change by model and by month, so check our current new Chevy truck specials and ask which ones can be combined with a business allowance.

A work truck near Houston can cost anywhere from the price of a high-mileage used pickup to well into six figures for a new medium-duty chassis cab with a finished body. Cab style, bed length, engine, drivetrain, mileage and upfit equipment move the price the most. Texas adds a 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax on the sales price minus any trade-in allowance, plus title and registration fees. Ron Carter Chevrolet in Alvin can quote an out-the-door price on any truck in stock.
Usually not for a single truck. Texas requires a Class B license for a single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more, and Chevrolet’s Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD chassis cabs top out at a 23,500-pound GVWR. A Class A license is required when the combined weight rating is 26,001 pounds or more and the trailer is rated over 10,000 pounds, and hazmat or 16-plus-passenger use adds CDL rules. Confirm your setup with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
