Benefits of Owning a Truck

Everyone wants to own a new truck these days, and for good reason. They’re optimal for hauling around anything, tearing through difficult terrain, and having fun tailgating at a party or football game. Check out this fun list of excellent reasons to own a truck.

Awesome Benefits of Owning a Truck

1. Towing Capacity
   • You can’t talk about trucks for long without discussing the potential for towing and hauling. While your typical sedan is either completely incapable of towing or can handle only lower weights, many of the larger trucks can conquer 10,000 lbs in tow. This would include outstanding models like the mighty Ram 2500 or 3500. Even the smaller trucks have enough towing capacity to carry items like a travel trailer or modest-sized construction equipment.
2. Safe Driving
   • Sometimes the roads get rough and having four-wheel-drive on a powerful truck becomes a lifesaver. It’s also an obvious advantage to drive a larger vehicle if you were to experience a serious collision. You’re way more likely to leave an accident unscathed just by virtue of the truck you were driving.
3. Tons of Storage Opportunity
   • So many sedan owners wish they had a truck at least a few times a year when they need to haul something or store more stuff for a beach trip. You can enjoy this luxury all the time by owning or leasing one from Island CDJR. Don’t forget that it’s not just the trunk that counts for storage and spaciousness. Most trucks have objectively better leg space and cabin amenities, too.
4. Very Customizable
   • Trucks are way more customizable than they were in the old days. You can get all the nice interior perks you’d find in an SUV, including heating steering wheels, infotainment/electronic gadgets, safety features like collision warning, and so forth. There’s an almost limitless number of things you can do with a truck. We should know because customizations are one of our favorite specialties at Island CDJR.
5. Even Great as a Family Vehicle
   • Seating and four-door options are much more abundant with modern trucks now. Smaller trucks of the past usually had nothing more than a “half seat” in the back, but now you can fit four or five adults or children into multi-seat trucks. This makes them just as optimal for family driving as other vehicles (if not more so).
