What Chassis Does Luxe Trucks Build On?
Unlike conversion companies that work exclusively on a single platform, Luxe Trucks builds across three distinct chassis families, giving buyers flexibility to match their towing needs, budget, and licensing preferences.
Freightliner M2 106 & M2 112
The Freightliner M2 is the backbone of the Luxe Trucks lineup and the most popular platform for serious fifth wheel haulers. The M2 106 typically runs a Cummins L9 making 360 HP and 1,150 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Allison automatic transmission. The M2 112 steps up to the Detroit DD13 with 505 HP for buyers towing the heaviest loads. Both feature factory air-ride suspension, air brakes, and a GVWR of up to 26,000 lbs. Luxe fits these with their Elite 84″ custom aluminum hauler bed, Trailer Saver 3rd Air Bag hitch, custom ultra-leather interior, Kenwood audio with 8 speakers and a subwoofer, and a Luxe-branded front grille.
Best for: Owners of large luxury fifth wheels (Luxe Elite, DRV, New Horizons) and heavy horse trailers with living quarters who want commercial-grade towing capability with a luxury interior.
Ford F-550
For buyers who prefer the familiarity of a Ford powertrain and dealer service network, Luxe offers a complete F-550 conversion. Starting with the F-550 Chassis Cab, Luxe installs their Elite 60″ aluminum hauler bed and upgrades the suspension with a Kelderman Air Ride system. The lower-profile bed design is specifically engineered to eliminate trailer-to-bed collisions on uneven road surfaces, a common pain point for fifth wheel owners.
Best for: Buyers who want heavy-duty Class 5 capability without stepping into the medium-duty commercial truck world. Also ideal for owners who want existing Ford dealer service access.
Dodge Ram 3500 / 4500 / 5500
Luxe also builds on the Ram platform, offering hauler bed conversions and suspension upgrades through their partnership with Utility Bodywerks. These builds can include both single rear wheel (SRW) and dual rear wheel (DRW) configurations, with Kelderman air suspension and color-matched aluminum beds.
Best for: Buyers who want to keep a familiar pickup truck driving experience while gaining a purpose-built towing platform.
What Makes a Luxe Truck Different from a Standard Hauler Conversion?
This is the question we hear most often from buyers comparing Luxe to other upfitters. The answer comes down to three things: who builds the bed, how the truck integrates with the trailer, and the factory-direct relationship.
The Bed: Built by Utility Bodywerks Every Luxe Trucks aluminum hauler bed is manufactured by Utility Bodywerks, a dedicated fabrication shop in Elkhart, Indiana with over 40 years of welding and manufacturing experience. The beds are constructed entirely from 3/16″ smooth aluminum, making them lighter than steel alternatives (which improves payload and fuel economy), completely corrosion-resistant, and strong enough to handle decades of heavy towing. Features standard on a Luxe bed include six individual lockable storage compartments with LED lighting, Lizard Skin interior coating on compartment walls, aircraft tie-down tracks, a Ziebart spray-in bed liner, and painted stainless-steel trim with LED running lights.
The Hitch: Trailer Saver 3rd Air Bag Rather than a conventional fifth wheel hitch, Luxe Trucks comes standard with a Trailer Saver hitch with a 3rd Air Bag. This system uses air pressure to cushion the connection between truck and trailer, dramatically reducing the jarring impacts that damage both vehicles over time. For owners of heavy fifth wheels in the 18,000–25,000+ lb range, this is a significant upgrade over pin-box-only setups.
The Integration: Truck + Trailer from One Company Because Luxe Trucks and Luxe Fifth Wheels are both divisions of The RV Factory, the truck and trailer are designed to work as a system. The bed profile is tapered to simplify hitching. The lighting, wiring harness, and camera mounts are pre-configured for Luxe trailers. The paint is factory-matched. No other hauler conversion company in the market offers this level of integration between the tow vehicle and the trailer it’s built to pull.
Why Buy a Luxe Truck Through Premium & Exotic?

Luxe Trucks FAQs
For most buyers, no. The Freightliner M2 106 has a GVWR of 26,000 lbs, which is right at the federal CDL threshold. When used for personal/recreational purposes (not for-hire or commercial hauling), most states exempt these vehicles from CDL requirements. The Ford F-550 falls well under the CDL threshold at all times. That said, some states require an air brake endorsement for vehicles equipped with air brakes — even for personal use. We strongly recommend checking your specific state’s DMV regulations before purchasing. Many Luxe Trucks owners across the country drive on a standard Class C license.
Pricing varies significantly based on the platform and build level. A Luxe Trucks Ford F-550 conversion starts at a lower price point and is a strong entry into the hauler truck market. A fully-loaded Freightliner M2 106 or M2 112 with the Elite aluminum bed, custom interior, Trailer Saver hitch, and all premium options runs considerably higher — the factory-direct MSRP on a new M2 106 build has been listed around $230,000–$310,000 depending on configuration. Buying a pre-owned Luxe Truck through a dealer like Premium & Exotic can offer significant savings while still getting a meticulously built hauler. Call us for current pricing on our in-stock units.
The Freightliner M2 106 has an expected Gross Vehicle Weight Capacity of 26,000 lbs with a 10,000 lb front axle and 16,000 lb rear axle rating. The M2 112 with the Detroit DD13 offers even greater capacity. These are commercial-grade ratings — significantly beyond what any consumer pickup can deliver. Combined with air brakes, engine braking (jake brake), and air-ride suspension, a Luxe Freightliner doesn’t just tow more weight — it stops, handles, and rides better doing it. The Ford F-550 platform offers a GVWR of approximately 19,500 lbs, which is still a substantial step up from an F-350.
Utility Bodywerks is the in-house truck upfitting and suspension installation partner for Luxe Trucks, also located in Elkhart, Indiana. They are a Ford-certified body builder with over 40 years of manufacturing experience. Utility Bodywerks fabricates the all-aluminum hauler beds, installs Kelderman, VB Air, and LiquidSpring suspension systems, and handles the complete truck-to-bed integration. They also offer standalone bed conversions and suspension upgrades for customers who want to convert their existing pickup into a hauler.
Yes. Through Utility Bodywerks, Luxe offers custom upfit services where your existing Ford, Ram, Chevy, or Freightliner can be converted into a hauler by replacing the factory bed with an all-aluminum Luxe/Utility Bodywerks hauler bed and upgrading the suspension. The bed can be color-matched to your truck’s original manufacturer paint code. Contact us and we can connect you with the right team to discuss your build.
Is a Luxe Truck the same as a SportChassis?
No, though they occupy the same market segment. SportChassis is a licensed OEM completion company that builds exclusively on the Freightliner M2 platform. They are recognized by Freightliner as a manufacturer and produce their own proprietary composite hauler beds and interiors. Luxe Trucks, by contrast, works across multiple chassis platforms (Freightliner, Ford, and Dodge) and uses all-aluminum beds built by Utility Bodywerks. The key differentiator for Luxe is their integration with Luxe Fifth Wheels — if you own or are buying a Luxe trailer, the truck is purpose-built for your specific towing setup. SportChassis is a broader platform designed for any heavy towing application.
