As the world of delivery and service continues to evolve, so do the vehicles that power it. One of the most notable trends in recent years is the increased use of passenger vehicles for commercial purposes—particularly in last-mile delivery, field service work, and mobile trade professions. With more drivers using compact SUVs and crossovers for business, the demand for professional-grade upfit solutions that fit smaller platforms has skyrocketed.
Recognizing this shift, Masterack partnered on upfit solutions for two of Nissan’s most flexible platforms: the Nissan Kicks and the Nissan Pathfinder. These models, known for their agility, efficiency, and growing popularity among commercial operators, became the perfect test case for compact upfitting done right. Masterack delivered high-performance, vocational-ready upfits that redefined what a passenger vehicle can do in a commercial role.
Passenger vehicles were never meant to handle the daily demands of delivery routes or mobile job sites. They lack the interior protections, cargo containment, and durability of traditional work vans. But with the right upfit strategy, they can become just as functional, safe, and efficient—without losing the flexibility drivers value in a personal-use vehicle.
Masterack’s approach to the Kicks and Pathfinder focused on creating vehicle upfit solutions that preserve the drivability and fuel efficiency of an SUV while enabling secure, organized, and professional-grade use.
One of the most critical needs for any delivery or mobile work vehicle is driver safety. That’s why Masterack engineered custom partitions specifically for the Kicks and Pathfinder platforms. These partitions act as a physical barrier between the driver and the cargo area—a necessity when transporting tools, equipment, or packages.
Built from commercial-grade materials, these partitions are an essential upfit solution for any passenger vehicle being used in a vocational setting.
Cargo shifts. Spills happen. Heavy use wears down interiors. That’s why Masterack offers rubberized floor matting as part of the Nissan upfit program. Protecting factory carpet with a tough, slip-resistant rubber floor protects the vehicle and the cargo alike.
This kind of flooring not only helps the vehicle hold up over time, but also keeps the interior looking professional and ready for work.
The work done on the Kicks and Pathfinder reflects a deeper shift across the industry: the rise of compact commercial vehicles and the growing need for light-duty upfit solutions that deliver on performance, safety, and flexibility.
With the explosion of e-commerce, mobile services, and gig-based deliveries, many commercial drivers are now using their personal vehicles as business assets. But without smart upfitting, they face problems like:
Masterack’s solutions directly address these pain points with modular upfit systems that fit seamlessly into smaller vehicles while maximizing utility.
What sets Masterack apart isn’t just the products—it’s the process. Our collaboration on Nissan’s passenger vehicle platforms began with an understanding of the real-world needs of delivery drivers, service technicians, and fleet managers. Then we applied our decades of upfitting experience to engineer solutions that meet those needs in a compact footprint.
The result is a proven blueprint for turning everyday SUVs and crossovers into business-ready platforms. It also proves that with the right vision, compact vehicle upfits don’t mean compromising on quality or performance.
Whether you’re a fleet manager for a national delivery service or an independent contractor looking to enhance your daily drive, Masterack has the vehicle upfit products that keep your work safe, organized, and efficient.
