4×2 vs 6×4: Which Tractor Head Do You Need?
- 4×2: lower purchase price and fuel use, ideal for port shuttles and lighter trailers up to about 30 tons gross.
- 6×4: better traction and higher gross combination weight, the standard for long-haul, cross-border and heavy container work.
- Sleeper vs day cab: choose a sleeper cab for multi-day routes, a day cab for short port and city runs.
What to Check Before You Buy a Used Tractor Head
- Fifth wheel (JOST or equivalent) wear and locking condition.
- Gearbox synchros and clutch wear, especially on high-mileage units.
- Turbo, injectors and oil leaks on the Weichai or Cummins engine.
- Cab mountings, sleeper condition and air suspension health.
