Contractor Vehicle Dimensions, Capabilities & Features

Exact dimensions of commercial contractor vehicles will vary by vehicle type, make, model, body style, and year. But as you browse vehicles, here are some questions to think about:
  • How big of a vehicle do you need? Vehicles vary in dimensions, so it’s important to make sure your truck or van can easily accommodate whatever you’re transporting — including passengers!
  • How much storage do you need? Our cargo vans have a capacity of around 123–462 cubic feet, and truck beds will vary in length and width.
  • Do you prefer gas or 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.
  • How much of a concern is mileage? Are you looking specifically for a low-mileage vehicle? Or is mileage not as much of a factor? 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.
  • What kinds of items will you be transporting? You’ll need to take precautions and may need certain upfits if you’re transporting hazardous, fragile, and/or temperature-controlled materials.
  • How reliable is the make/model? Research your top contenders and see how they compare in terms of ratings, awards, and reviews.
  • How many passenger seats do you need? For example, regular cab, extended cab, crew cab, and extended crew cab trucks offer different types of seating and cargo configurations.
  • How much weight can the vehicle tow? 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.
