When you’re ready to go shopping for a new vehicle, you have some big choices to make. One of the most important ones is figuring out what style of vehicle to get. When you come to Bob Brady CDJR, you will have a wide selection at your disposal. You’ll want to make sure to explore our lineup of pickup trucks. There are many advantages to driving a truck, and you won’t want to pass up the chance to have one. Pickup trucks are great for both everyday driving and more adventurous excursions.
The question of why buy a truck may be on your mind when you come to the dealership. We’ll help you understand the benefits of being at the wheel of a pickup truck and why having one will make your tasks so much easier.
Few vehicles on the road can match the engine power of a pickup truck. Aside from elite sports cars, you won’t find engines in vehicles like the ones you’ll find in a truck.
Dodge and RAM trucks, for instance, are well-known for their tremendous power and ability to navigate any terrain. The RAM 1500 comes with four engine choices, each powerful and able to take you anywhere. There are two V8 engines and two V6 engines (one of which is a diesel). RAM 1500 trucks make an incredible 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from the 6.2-liter V8 engine. Then there’s the RAM 2500. This truck has a 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine that produces an amazing 850 pound-feet of torque along with 370 horsepower. The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine puts out 429 pound-feet of torque and 410 horsepower. In the RAM 3500, you can get the 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine that makes 420 horsepower and an eye-opening 1,075 pound-feet of torque.
But horsepower and torque aren’t the only factors you will look at when it comes to performance. You need a truck that can tow and haul, especially if you use it for tough work duties. The right truck excels at towing and hauling. Check out the RAM 3500, for instance. It can tow up to 37,090 pounds and haul 7,680 pounds. The RAM 2500 can tow nearly 20,000 pounds and has a maximum payload of 4,000 pounds. As for the RAM 1500, it has a max towing capacity of 12,750 pounds. Each of these trucks is up to the task of pulling other cars, trailers, and recreational vehicles.
You won’t only use your truck to tow and haul items. As important as this duty is, you’ll also want to take some time to enjoy your truck with some off-road fun.
Although many trucks come in front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive as the standard drivetrain, it’s easy to find a pickup truck with four-wheel drive. This drivetrain is ideal for going over rocky roads, gravel, and mud.
Pickup trucks have a high ground clearance, sturdy wheels, and high-quality tires built especially for off-roading conditions. The suspension of a truck is perfect for dirt roads and challenging terrain. Good off-road trucks also have a steel frame and strong construction to stand up to anything. Some trucks have special drive modes that make off-roading easier and safer. Plus, to make your off-roading adventure more comfortable, reliable trucks have excellent shocks and struts, so you won’t feel every bump in the road as you drive.
If you have been debating whether it’s worth getting a truck, consider these benefits of having a new or used model. Trucks make a lot of sense if you need to tow or haul heavy loads and if you like to go off-roading. Trucks are powerful and accelerate well, maintain high speeds, and handle the worst weather.
