Look up road-freight vehicle and trailer specifications — 17 types: EU articulated trailers (standard/mega curtainsider, box, reefer, double-deck, flatbed, low-loader), US 53ft/48ft dry vans, rigid trucks (7.5-26 t) and vans (Luton, Transit, Sprinter). Each record carries internal dimensions, payload and gross weights, euro/UK pallet capacity, axle configuration and features. Provide slug (e.g. "standard-curtainsider") for one record; omit it to list all 17; category (articulated | rigid | van) and region (EU | US) filter the list. Behavior: read-only; an unknown slug errors with the valid list; per-record provenance (sources, audited_at, decision_rationale) is included. Rate-limited (anonymous use: 25 requests/day per IP): a 429 error body carries retry_after_seconds and a Retry-After header — back off and retry, or call get_subscribe_link for higher limits. Returns: the vehicle record (or filtered list) under result, plus confidence, _source and citation (the FreightUtils v1 response envelope). Limitations: typical specs, provenance pending independent verification (the envelope's provenance_status says so) — real equipment varies by operator and build; legal payload is set by the vehicle's plated weights.
