About Cutaway-Cube Box Trucks

Cutaway-cube box trucks are used to transport and deliver goods, equipment, and supplies. They also make excellent moving trucks, service and utility trucks, ambulances, and even shuttle buses. Also known as “cube vans,” “box vans,” “cutaway-cube vans,” and “straight trucks,” cutaway-cube box trucks typically have what’s more or less a cube-shaped box body that’s mounted on the chassis directly behind the cab. Some models include a walk-through passage or door between the cab and the cargo area.

Characteristics

Cutaway-cube box trucks generally have bodies ranging in length from approximately 3.5 to 6 metres (12 to 20 feet) or longer. Many are light-duty trucks and vans classified as Class 2 vehicles, with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs) of around 2,700 to 4,500 kilograms (6,000 to 10,000 pounds) or Class 3 vehicles weighing in from 4,500 to 6,350 kg (14,000 lbs). A smaller number of medium-duty models that fall within Class 4 to Class 6 classifications, with GVWRs from 6,350 to 11,800 kg (26,000 lbs) are also available.

Common cutaway-cube box makes and models include the Chevy Express 3500, the GMC Savana G3500, and the Ford E-350 and E-450 box trucks. A late-model GMC Savana G3500 Cutaway Van, as an example, has a maximum GVWR of 5,579 kg (12,300 lbs) and comes in 3,530-, 4,038-, or 4,495-millimetre (139-, 159-, or 177-inch) wheelbase lengths.
