Re: Congrats Bolt Express
Actually, my unit shows up as a "Sprinter" on the vehicle search .... not a cargo van ....

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
What I find surprising on Bolts or the Alliances site is how many Sprinters there are, and secondly, how many are listed at 4000lbs for load capacity. Can a Sprinter carry a 4000lb payload? Even more questionable is if the driver has any personal effects with him.
Even seen a few with 5k listed.

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
That was my thought. Could be a dually or two out there, but not many. And if they were, the listed dimensions aren't accurate unless the wheel wells have been altered.

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
It's wishful thinking.
How many here have some idea that they can actually haul up to 10k, not have a gross weight of 10k?
I have seen 16 foot box truck with a heavy morgan box on a 10k chassis with the owner claiming they can take 4000 lbs while having more crap on board than my truck has.Greg

The vehicles listed on the vehicle search on Bolt's website include partner carrier trucks (ie. other Alliance members who choose to post their vehicles) Originally Posted by davekc

Of course, that doesn't include a box ....Last edited by RLENT; 03-18-2010 at 04:07 PM.

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
I don't get it?
The older 2500's were listed as 8550 gvrw and a curb weight of about 5500 completely void of anything..just the shell...Jack Berrys van still for sale!! Great price NOW! $20,000....see link to contact

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
It's dependent on the specific model (wheelbase, low vs. high roof, etc) - the following chart applies only to '06 and earlier T1N's: Originally Posted by OntarioVanMan

Re: Congrats Bolt Express
You can go to Bolts website and look up the units they have available in various areas. They have a search page for their customers, and they list all the units in that particular area. Originally Posted by sockhat
