Start with the cargo and the way of loading and unloading. Distribution, construction transport and international transport each require a different combination of chassis, structure, loading capacity and cabin.

The numbers describe the number of wheel positions and driven positions. An additional driven axle usually provides more traction, while a steered or liftable axle can improve maneuverability and efficiency with varying loads.

Required power depends on total weight, terrain, speed and deployment. More power is not automatically cheaper: also consider torque, transmissions, fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

A day cabin keeps the vehicle compact and often leaves more space for the superstructure. For multi-day journeys, bed, storage space, headroom and climate comfort in a sleeping cabin are more important.

Check maintenance history, mileage, tires, brakes, leaks, emission system and operation of the body. If in doubt, also have the chassis, drivetrain and electronic fault codes independently inspected.
