Box truck

A box truck—also known as a box van, cube van, bob truck[1] or cube truck—is a chassis cab truck with an enclosed cuboid-shaped cargo area.[2] On most box trucks, the cabin is separate to the cargo area; however some box trucks have a door between the cabin and the cargo area. Box trucks tend to be larger than cargo vans and smaller than tractor-trailers with movable trailers.[3]

The difference between a box truck and a van is that the cargo van is a one-piece (unibody), while a box truck is created by adding a cargo box to a chassis cab.[3][4]

Examples of box trucks: Isuzu NPR, Ford F-750, Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD.
