As a rule, trucks which use less fuel is best, and can make the difference between a truck making money and not. We recommend speaking to other truck owners, and read truck reviews to find out which trucks are more economical, and which trucks require more fuel.
Road Tax on Trucks in Ireland
I would assume the tax for trucks in Ireland does not differ a huge amount from one make to another, but you will find that large tractor units will be in a higher tax bracket than a smaller truck.
What is the purpose of the Truck?
Obviously you must decide on the purpose of the trucks. If you are deciding on a tractor unit truck you will have a wide variety of trucks for sale in Ireland. On the other hand if you require a cement truck, the amount of choice of trucks for sale becomes lot more limited. Another example is if you require a beavertail truck for sale, but you also haul containers from time to time, so you may require a beavertail truck for sale with a hiab crane. On the other hand if you are looking for a tractor unit and are practically living in truck full time, certain interior items may have more influence in your choice of trucks.
