The Best GPS Tracker
for Trucks & Pickups
Work trucks sit overnight, weekends, and job sites without supervision. Piritiz runs on a 5-year internal battery, installs in 2 minutes with no tools or wiring, and tracks your truck's location from $9.95/month. No contract. No OBD port needed.
Built for How Trucks
Actually Get Used
Fleet management systems charge $25–$45/truck/month and require multi-year contracts. OBD trackers need constant power and a port that older trucks don't always have. Piritiz is different.
Work trucks often sit parked at job sites, lots, or yards for days at a time — disconnected from any monitoring. OBD trackers go quiet if the battery dies or the truck sits too long in standby. Piritiz runs on its own internal battery for up to 5 years, completely independent of the truck's power. Whether the truck is running a daily route or parked at a site for a week, Piritiz keeps tracking.
A GPS tracker that can be found and removed in seconds offers little theft protection. Piritiz installs in a concealed location — inside the frame rail under the bed, behind the rear bumper, or inside a cab cavity — using an adhesive or strap mount. At 1.75″ × 2.75″, it disappears completely. If someone steals your pickup, they're not doing a frame-by-frame search before driving off. You'll have the location, they won't know it.
Enterprise fleet systems like Tracker A, Tracker B, and Tracker C charge $25–$45 per vehicle per month, require multi-year agreements, and are built for 50+ truck operations. Small contractors running 2–10 trucks don't need dispatch software, ELD compliance, or driver scorecards. They need to know where their trucks are. Piritiz is $9.95/truck/month, no contract, cancel any truck any time. That's the whole product.
Set a geofence boundary around your yard, job site, or customer location and receive an alert when the truck moves outside it. Unauthorized after-hours use, theft from a lot overnight, or a driver detouring — you see it the moment it happens. One Piritiz account manages unlimited trucks from the same app dashboard, each with its own geofence and alert configuration. No dispatcher required.

GPS Trackers for Trucks & Pickups:
Everything You Need to Know
Why Most Truck GPS Trackers Are the Wrong Tool for Small Fleets
Search for "GPS tracker for trucks" and you'll find two categories of products. The first is enterprise fleet management software — Tracker A, Tracker B, Tracker C, and Tracker D — which are powerful systems built for operations running 50+ trucks with compliance requirements, ELD mandates, and dispatch teams. They charge $25–$45 per vehicle per month and require 12–36 month contracts. For a landscaper with 6 pickups or a contractor with 3 work trucks, these systems are overkill and overpriced.
The second category is consumer OBD plug-in trackers — devices that plug into your truck's diagnostic port. These work on daily-driven trucks but have serious limitations for work trucks: they draw power from your truck's battery even when the engine is off, they require an accessible OBD port (which some older commercial trucks don't have), and they're visible to anyone who looks under the dashboard.
Piritiz is a third option specifically suited to small fleets and individual truck owners. It's battery-powered, installs in a hidden location in under 2 minutes, requires no wiring or OBD connection, costs $9.95/truck/month with no contract, and tracks the location of any truck regardless of age, make, or model.
GPS Tracker for Pickup Trucks — F-150, Silverado, Ram, Tacoma
The most popular pickup trucks — Ford F-150, F-250, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, Toyota Tacoma — all share an important characteristic for GPS tracker installation: extensive steel frame structure under the bed and cab that offers excellent concealed installation locations.
For full-size pickups like the F-150 and Silverado, the extended bed frame offers a particularly effective mounting point. Tucked inside the frame rail under the bed, the Piritiz device is protected from road debris, shielded from weather, and invisible to anyone doing a casual inspection. The IP67 waterproof rating ensures performance through rain, mud, and the kind of conditions work trucks encounter daily. For mid-size trucks like the Tacoma or Frontier, the cab underbody and rear bumper cavity work equally well.
GPS Tracker for Work Trucks and Contractor Fleets
Contractors, landscapers, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC companies running small fleets of work trucks have a specific problem that most GPS tracking products don't solve well: they need affordable, no-commitment tracking across 2–10 trucks without the overhead of an enterprise fleet management subscription.
The math with Piritiz is simple. A landscaping company with 5 pickup trucks pays $49.75/month total — $9.95 per truck. With Tracker A or Tracker B, that same fleet costs $125–$225/month, requires signing a 2-year agreement, and includes features (ELD compliance, dispatch routing, fuel card integration) the company doesn't need and will never use. Piritiz gives the essential feature — know where every truck is — without the enterprise overhead.
For contractors leaving trucks at job sites overnight, the geofence alert feature provides direct theft protection. Set the geofence boundary around the job site. If the truck moves after hours, you get an alert with its location. That's the core use case, and Piritiz handles it for $9.95/month per truck with no minimum fleet size and no contract.
Hidden GPS Tracker for Trucks — Best Installation Locations
For a GPS tracker to provide theft protection, it needs to survive the theft itself — which means being in a location a thief won't think to check in the first few minutes after taking the vehicle. The best hidden locations for a GPS tracker on a pickup truck or work truck are:
- Inside the bed frame rail: The steel C-channel frame rail running the length of the bed provides a completely enclosed, weather-protected cavity. The device sits inside the frame, invisible from any angle, and the solid steel structure protects it from impact. Best location for full-size pickups.
- Behind the rear bumper: Inside the rear bumper cavity, accessed by reaching behind the bumper face. Protected from the elements, invisible from outside, strong cellular signal. Works on virtually every truck regardless of age or make.
- Under the cab, forward of the rear axle: The underbody of the cab, forward of the rear wheels, provides a flat surface with strong adhesive contact and cellular signal. Shielded from direct road spray by the cab floor.
- Inside the toolbox, under the liner: For work trucks with a bed toolbox, the underside of the toolbox lid or the space under a bed liner provides a completely interior concealed location with full cellular connectivity.
- Behind a front grille opening: Many pickups have plastic grille openings with internal cavities. The device sits inside, completely invisible, with unobstructed cellular signal through the plastic. Easy to access for battery replacement.
Avoid placing the device fully enclosed in thick steel (like inside a toolbox made of steel) as this can attenuate the cellular signal and reduce location update frequency.
GPS Tracker for Small Truck Fleets — Cost Comparison
For small fleet owners comparing GPS tracking options, the total annual cost matters more than the monthly rate alone. Here's how Piritiz compares over a full year for a 5-truck operation:
- Piritiz (5 trucks): $99.75 device cost + $597/year service = $696.75/year total. No contract.
- Tracker A (5 trucks): Hardware cost + ~$1,500–2,250/year service. Requires 2-year minimum contract.
- Tracker B (5 trucks): Hardware + ~$1,500–2,700/year. Requires 3-year minimum commitment.
- Tracker F (5 trucks): $149.75 device cost + ~$1,200/year service = ~$1,350/year. Month-to-month.
- Tracker E (5 trucks): $149.75 device cost + $1,197/year service = ~$1,347/year. Month-to-month.
Piritiz saves a 5-truck operation $650–$2,000+ per year compared to every alternative, while providing the same core capability: know where each truck is, get alerts when it moves outside an authorized area, and view movement history from a phone.

Truck Owners & Fleet Managers
Trust Piritiz
"I run a roofing company with 4 F-250s. I was paying $28/month per truck with another service — over $1,300 a year. Switched to Piritiz and now it's $39.80/month for all four. Same geofence alerts, same location check. I didn't need the rest of the features I was paying for. Best thing I did for my business budget this year."
"Bought a Piritiz for my Ram 1500 after a neighbor's truck got stolen out of their driveway. Installed it inside the bed frame rail in about 90 seconds. My wife also has access to the app so she can see where I am on long drives. The 5-year battery means I genuinely don't think about it — it just works."
"We had Tracker A. It was great but at $35/truck/month for 9 trucks, I was paying $3,780 a year just for GPS. Half those trucks are parked more than they're moving. Piritiz is $89.55/month for the whole fleet. That's over $3,000 back in the budget every year. Installation was me and one employee spending an afternoon — 9 trucks done."
