Trucks are no longer just single-purpose work vehicles. Instead, they now often are used as day-to-day family haulers, serving varied roles from basic transportation to towing vehicles for weekend recreation. Ongoing advancements have helped them become command centers for commercial users and aspirational vehicles for buyers who crave an exclusive luxury vehicle.
Factors That Pickup Truck Buyers Should Consider Cab Size and Seating
Regular cabs have only front-row seating and are the least expensive to buy, but they tend to be available only in basic, work-oriented configurations. Extended cabs are far more useful due to their small rear seat and set of shortened rear doors. Crew cabs are the most popular configuration and provide the roomiest interior accommodations, especially in full-sized trucks.
The Bed
In a full-sized pickup, the average bed length is 6 feet but can go up to 8 feet, usually with a regular or extended cab. Four-door crew cabs can generally be had with a 5- or 6-foot bed. Compact pickup beds usually run 4 1⁄2 to 6 feet, depending on cab configuration. Do consider how you will use the bed, and how often, because this may guide some major decisions.
Engines and Fuel Economy
Engines range from small four-cylinders and V6s to V8s and big diesels. Pickup trucks offer different engine options, including gas, diesel, and hybrid. Consider the engine size and fuel efficiency that best suits your driving needs and preferences.
New vs. Used
There are certainly benefits to buying a brand-new pickup truck. Most notably, new trucks have the latest safety gear and engineering improvements. Buyers know exactly what they’re getting, with fewer worries about potential maintenance problems. Further, there are tons of choices for color, trim line, and option levels.
Buyers who take the used routes don’t have limited options, though. The used-truck market is about three times the size of the new-truck market, so there are plenty of choices. One of the best strategies is to find a pickup truck that’s only a few years old. It has already taken a big depreciation hit but should still have most of its useful life ahead of it. Modern pickup trucks, if soundly maintained, can stay on the road for 200,000 miles or longer.
