I'm growing the PHC side of my business. How can I better utilize my one-ton service truck?

I bought a new GMC 3500 a while back, figuring that the tool boxes would help keep me organized. But, I've been doing micro-injections, soil injection, and bark spray. I often regret buying this big truck because it's harder to park in downtown areas than a half ton would be. But, if it makes more money for my business over the next ten plus years, it would be wise to keep it right?
What kind of PHC services should I consider adding that this truck would be good for? What kind of PHC tasks does a large tank with a sprayer/ injector perform better than the kind of PHC I've done so far? Thanks.

Nice truck. Could tow an air compressor for air spading.

Good idea. I've seen that technique online but haven't tried it myself yet. Have you had good results with air spading?

Air spading has little competition. RCX and SGRs abound. I'm going to be getting one.

Airspace in root zone is key!! I’ve found trees looking like they aren’t gonna make another season and the air spade unlocks the soil and in many cases allows access to girdling roots which can then be pruned.

I’d consider a larger nurse tank, with two small mixing tanks (30-50gal), mounted to the rails. You could build out a frame so it’s not actually resting on the bed rails and have the ability to pull it out of the truck when necessary.
