At the core is a commitment to a practical, field-tested approach built around how professionals use their vehicles every day, delivering upfits that improve workflow, boost productivity, enhance safety, and drive profitability.
With a history of upfitting more than 12,000 vehicles in a year in Kansas City and direct OEM ship-thru partnerships, Utilimaster ensures vehicles are completed efficiently and correctly the first time. “Customers don’t have time to manage multiple vendors or chase down delays,” says Nick Troiola, Director of Sales for Utilimaster. “Our Kansas City Upfit Center is designed to remove that friction, bringing everything under one roof so vehicles are built right, delivered faster, and ready to perform the moment they hit the road.”
Smart Packages. Custom Solutions.
No two businesses operate exactly the same. This is why Utilimaster’s Kansas City Upfit Center offers both pre-configured packages and fully customized solutions tailored to specific industries and operational needs.
Building Hard Working Contractor Packages
For HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and service professionals, time and organization are everything. Utilimaster’s contractor packages are built with these demands in mind, offering optimized layouts, professional-grade storage, and durable, field-tested components.
These packages are designed for efficiency from the start, with quick installation and fast turnaround times that keep your business moving. Whether you manage one vehicle or an expanding fleet, you get a reliable, ready-to-work solution without unnecessary delays.
Supporting Public Works and Municipalities Fleets
Utilimaster also brings its expertise to public sector operations. From small-town departments to large municipal fleets, the Kansas City Upfit Center delivers dependable solutions tailored to public works teams, service crews, and rural communities.
What sets Utilimaster apart is its ability to scale service without compromising quality. Smaller municipalities receive the same high-level equipment, attention, and turnaround times trusted by major cities, ensuring every community has access to reliable, work-ready vehicles.
Pickup Upfits Built on Real-World Experience
Pickup trucks are essential across countless industries, and Utilimaster has refined its approach through millions of miles of real-world ride-alongs. The result is a lineup of 36 curated pickup upfit packages designed to enhance organization, safety, and productivity.
These packages offer a fast, effective way to get vehicles job-ready, whether they’re used for service calls, deliveries, or skilled trades. And when off-the-shelf solutions aren’t enough, custom configurations ensure every vehicle meets exact operational requirements from day one.
Interior Upfits
From durable flooring and bulkhead partitions to shelving systems, racks, bins, and drawers, every interior component is designed to maximize space and efficiency. Add-ons like laptop mounts, keyless entry, and upgraded lighting further enhance functionality.
Safety & Technology
Safety is never optional. Camera systems, safety equipment, cab racks, and trailer tow systems help protect both drivers and equipment while improving operational confidence.
Climate & Crew Configurations
Whether you need advanced HVAC systems or crew cab setups, Utilimaster ensures vehicles remain comfortable and functional in any working environment.
Pickup & Exterior Solutions
Exterior upgrades such as toolboxes, ladder racks, headache racks, bed slides, and lighting systems turn pickups into fully capable mobile workstations.
Faster Turnaround with Ship-Thru Capabilities
One of the biggest advantages of working with Utilimaster is its direct OEM ship-thru partnerships. Vehicles can be sent straight from manufacturers to the Kansas City facility for upfitting, reducing handling time and accelerating deployment. Supported platforms span a full range of commercial vehicles, from cargo vans to electric delivery models and heavy-duty pickups, giving fleets the flexibility to operate across virtually any industry.
One Partner. Total Confidence.
At the end of the day, the Utilimaster Kansas City Upfit Center is built around one simple idea: Make it easier for businesses to get the vehicles they need, ready to perform from day one. With smart, complete packages, custom solutions, and a proven design philosophy, it’s a partner that helps you stay focused on the work ahead, while they handle everything behind the scenes.
