As your trusted auto dealership, Pruitt Ford understands that buying a new truck can be an exciting, but overwhelming, experience. With so many different models, brands, and features available, it’s important to be well-informed before making a decision. Here are 10 things we think you need to consider about trucks before making your new purchase.
What Kind of Truck Do You Need?
Before you begin shopping, consider what you’ll be using your truck for. Do you need a heavy-duty work truck, or a smaller pickup for personal use? Will you be towing frequently? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your options, which will save you time at the dealership.
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel economy is important for both personal use and work trucks. Look for models with efficient engines and hybrid or diesel options. Gas isn’t exactly cheap these days, after all.
Truck Safety Features
Modern trucks come equipped with a range of advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, and automatic emergency braking. Make sure the truck you choose has the safety features you need.
Towing Capacity
If you plan to use your truck for towing, check its towing capacity. The towing capacity will determine the weight of the trailer you can tow safely.
Weight Capacity
The weight capacity (also known as ‘payload capacity’) refers to the amount of weight the truck can carry in the bed. Make sure the truck you choose has a payload capacity that matches your needs.
Size of Truck Required
New trucks come in different sizes, from compact pickups to full-size trucks. Consider your garage space and parking needs when selecting the right size.
Technology
Many new trucks come with advanced technology features such as touchscreen infotainment systems, wireless charging, and smartphone integration. Consider which technology features are important to you.
Truck Dealership Reputation
There are tons of truck dealerships in the great state of Texas. Choose a truck from a brand with a good reputation for quality and reliability. Pruitt Ford has an extremely high reputation when it comes to selling and buying vehicles.
Warranty
A warranty can provide peace of mind and protect you from unexpected repairs. Check the warranty coverage before making a purchase.
Price Range
Finally, consider the price of the truck. Determine your budget and find a truck that fits within it. Keep in mind that trucks with more features and higher towing and payload capacities may be more expensive.
Summary – Keep These in Mind Before Buying Your New Truck
