Overview
The box van is popular for courier missions because of its impressive capacity and relative toughness. With a 4L engine, its speed is impressive. However, care should be taken when maneuvering; this top-heavy beast tips over easily. Do not attempt curves at more than 60mph.
Box vans are operated using the Trucker skill.

Other Info
This is a cargo vehicle. It has poor toughness and handles a straight fight badly. It can fulfill several specialist scouting support roles - Mortar carrier, Fuel carrier and Loot/Scrap recovery ( driven by your best mechanic).
In a cargo role the boxer should be equipped with the largest available engine you can find - 5 litre is good safe minimum and ideally with A class armour . If the pirate activity is very low you maybe able to get away with less. An escort vehicle to distract pursuers is also a good choice or a very good scout.
This chassis is a classic example of a 'Newbie-Mobile" - new players will buy/loot/acquire a chassis then cover it with 6 large guns - this makes the scout even harder and turns the vehicle into a bullet magnet.
The chassis can be a handful to drive and is prone to fishtail when you correct any steering error.
