Below is a list of questions posed in an 1899 resource regarding stable life and the items that are put into it. What caught my eye was this list of questions the author suggests one ask them self when purchasing a carriage. These are great questions for you to ask your characters as they decide which carriage or wagon they would need.
1. For what use is the vehicle intended?
2. What type of vehicle best fulfils the requirements?
3. Will it serve those requirements, if necessary, in summer and winter and in wet weather?
4. What is the cost of a vehicle, not merely of this type, but of the best in the matter of material and workmanship?
5. If the desired vehicle is too expensive, what other more moderate priced type could be substituted?
6. How many horses and of what stamp will be required?
7. If properly turned out, what harness, livery and robes, etc., will be needed?
8. Is the stable servant competent to give such a vehicle proper care?
9. Is the vehicle of such a design that it is likely to command a fair price if sold again?
