Some questions you need to ask yourself is, will the vehicle be covering long distances? What is the average load weight that the vehicle will be carrying on a daily basis? What cargo will it be carrying, fragile or building material? How many passengers do you need in the vehicle on a business trip? What kind of security do I need?
