Vehicle taking lad to get a large container (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carboy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a large container' is the definition.
'carboy' can be an answer for 'container' (carboy is a kind of container). I'm not sure about the 'a large' bit.

'vehicle taking lad' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'taking' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lad' becomes 'boy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'car'+'boy'='CARBOY'

'to get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carboy that I've seen before include "Large round bottle in wicker casing" , "Large cushioned container for liquids" , "Large bottle encased in wicker" , "Large glass container" , "Acid container of young automobile attendant?" .)
