AGwagon Customizes Heavy-Duty Pickups
 ✖  |
Farmers and ranchers wanting the ultimate in a tough, performance-driven, heavy-duty pickup can load up a new 3/4 or 1-ton Dodge Ram, Chevrolet, GMC or Ford Super Duty with nearly 20 jaw-dropping accessories. However, a customized AGwagon can top out at well over $100,000.
AGwagon will beef up the chassis with a 3-inch lift system, Fox elite performance shocks, an ultra-heavy-duty front bumper and super-sized wheels. Add a 15,000 lb. winch to the front and a 10,000 lb. winch to the rear, and you’ll be a wrecker for rent to all your neighbors. Premium LED fog, bumper, back up and work lights illuminate in all directions. Bed accessories include a rugged cab rack, tool mounting brackets and Rotopax tanks for DEF, water and diesel. The bed can also be set up with airbags for load leveling. An air compressor and a retractable hose reel are other handy options.
Interior cab accessories include an SSV 12V switch panel, custom floor mats, optional two-tone leather seats, a two-way radio and Starlink internet access.
The AGwagon idea was spawned by a partnership between Certified Agriculture Dealerships (CAD) of Westfield, N.C., and Fox Factory Vehicles of Trussville, Ala. Fox has been a long-time builder of customized vehicles for rock climbing, Baja racing and off-roading. Design features for AGwagon grew from ideas generated by a select group of farmers and ranchers who pooled their “dream” ideas.
“The most important benefit for owners is that each AGwagon can be customized to their unique needs and situation,” says Pat Driscoll, CEO of the Certified Agriculture Group. Driscoll says farmers and ranchers can begin the AGwagon design process by visiting one of the 200-plus CAD members in the U.S. or by visiting agwagon.com. Fox will do the build-outs in Trussville, Ala.
Driscoll says the partnership chose the AGwagon name because the truck “captures the defining characteristics of the original Cessna AGwagon aerial application plane, known for reliability, longevity and capability.”
Jeff O’Connor, an Illinois soybean grower and one of the farmer-designers of the AGwagon, is pleased that CAD and Fox Factory chose to begin the design process by going first to farmers and ranchers, asking what they wanted and needed in a pickup truck to make it more functional and productive. He says the stepped-up durability, internet connectivity and LED lighting add-ons are real benefits for long workdays and nights.
AGwagons purchased from CAD members will include standard manufacturer’s warranties plus a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty on all installed components from Fox Factory.
Driscoll says any AGwagon purchase includes CAD’s AgPack, a specialized package of discounts and rebates on inputs producers usually buy anyway. “If every one of the 23 AgPack benefits is executed to the fullest, it can add up to nearly $40,000 in real operational savings. In 2023, the average savings redeemed per truck was $14,828.”
