Vehicle Acquisition Search Tool "VAST"

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Overview

The Vehicle Acquisition Search Tool (VAST) helps you efficiently source commercial vehicles outside your current inventory. With access to listings from auctions, fleets, rental companies, and partner dealerships, VAST allows you to locate and acquire the specific vehicles your customers are looking for — even when they aren’t currently on your lot.

By leveraging VAST, you can maintain a steady inventory flow, meet more customer needs, and strengthen your commercial sales strategy.

Key Features

  • Extensive Inventory Access – View over 50,000 commercial vehicles through partnerships such as Manheim and other trusted sources.

  • Advanced Search Filters – Narrow your search by make, model, body type, chassis, cab configuration, GVWR, and more.

  • Streamlined Acquisition Process – Access vehicle details, specifications, and availability online, minimizing the need for physical auction visits.

Accessing VAST

Follow the steps below to access VAST from your Work Truck Solutions commercial site:

  1. After logging into your work Truck Solutions commercial site and hover over the Tools tab in the main navigation bar and Select VAST from the dropdown menu.

  2. Once you’re on the VAST page, you’ll see all vehicles currently available for purchase.

    Note: Inventory in VAST may have different purchasing or negotiation processes depending on the source.

Filtering Your Search

To find the right vehicle faster, use the facets located on the left-hand side of the VAST page. For best results, we recommend using:

  • Featured for Dealer Purchase Listings

  • Auction / Buy Now

These facets include vehicles that have already been pre-approved for dealer purchase, simplifying your buying process.

All Facets Available

You can refine your search using facets such as:

  • Type & Availability – Choose between auction listings or dealer listings.

  • By Owner – Identify listings from specific sellers or sources.

  • Condition – Filter by new or used vehicles.

  • Chassis Options & Body Types – Locate configurations that match your customer’s needs.

  • State – Filter by special equipment or state location.

Using the WTS Network Tab

At the top of the VAST page, you’ll find the WTS Network tab. This tab lets you search across the entire Work Truck Solutions dealer network, giving you access to an even larger pool of commercial vehicle listings.

Note: Vehicles under the WTS Network tab may not be pre-approved for dealer trade, so additional steps may be required before purchase.

You can use the same set of filters here to locate vehicles that best fit your customer’s request or your dealership’s inventory needs.

Conclusion

VAST is a powerful sourcing tool that expands your access to commercial inventory beyond your lot. By using its filters, featured listings, and WTS Network tab, you can quickly locate and acquire vehicles that help you better serve your customers and maintain a strong, diverse inventory.
