1-ton Box Truck choice

IBXPUHDYTIN' · Sep 26, 2017

I am gathering info on my first truck choice , Nothing is in stone but It seems that a 1-ton box between $12k- $20k is for me. First -DUAL WHEELS VS. SINGLE AND BOX SIZE. My concerns with dual wheels are MPG and cost and added effort of air checks and changing a flats. I am looking at a SRW 12' box .
i have seen some dual rears with 15' box ,can you be too big. thanks in advance for reply

You can be too big, at least in expediting.

Read, research 10,000 lb gvw.

The vehicles that seem to be safely within the weight limits are sprinter and cargo vans.

There are debates on if the small box trucks really are within the weight because often the weight posted on the door of the vehicles were posted as a cab and chassis.

So heads up, often if you have dual wheels, you’re in dot range.
