Construction Vehicle Dimensions, Capabilities & Features
There’s a lot to consider when exploring construction vehicle options. The dimensions for each van or truck will vary by make, model, body style, year, and trim level. Keep these important points in mind as you compare vehicles:

• Size of the vehicle — Make sure your truck or van can accommodate whatever type of construction equipment you’re transporting — and don’t forget to count any passengers!
• Cargo capacity — We know the requirements for each construction job may vary, so think about current and potential storage needs. Our cargo vans have a capacity of around 123–462 cubic feet. Truck beds will vary in length and width.
• Gas vs. diesel — There are pros and cons to each. In most cases, 30K to 35K is a good base to start seeing the advantages of a diesel engine.
• Mileage — Are you looking for a vehicle with specific mileage? Most of our pre-owned trucks and cargo vans have a range of 19K to 50K miles with some lower and higher depending on the vehicle.
• Types of construction equipment you will be transporting — You may need certain upfits if you’re transporting hazardous, fragile, and/or temperature-controlled materials.
• Reliability — Do your homework. Make a list of your preferred makes and models and see how they compare in terms of ratings, awards, and reviews. Don’t be afraid to ask around, too.
• Seating — For example, regular cab, extended cab, crew cab, and extended crew cab trucks offer different types of seating and cargo configurations.
• Towing capabilities — This is especially important since commercial vehicles have different towing and payload capacities. If you tow or haul more than the vehicle allows, you’ll likely run into a variety of safety and mechanical issues.
