While trucks have been traditionally used as workhorses, in recent years the sheer versatility of a truck has seen its use expanded. From hauling your family or towing your camper, Bob King Buick GMC has you covered when you’re looking for trucks for sale in Wilmington, NC.
What should you look for when buying a truck? Let’s take a look at some important factors to consider.
What Type of Truck?
Modern trucks are so versatile that you really have to narrow down what you need before you start shopping around.
Here are the main types of trucks on the market:
Compact Pickup Trucks
For more casual, daily work, a smaller compact pickup might work for you. You’ll generally find solid body-on-frame construction and an independent rear suspension. The engines will range from a four-cylinder to some kind of V6.
The prices will vary, usually starting at around $30,000 for a basic two-wheel-drive trim and topping out around $40,000.
Full-Sized Pickup Trucks
Full-size trucks are our workhorses and are the backbone of the whole truck market. Powertrain options range from turbocharged four-cylinders engines to V8s and some hybrid options.
Full-size truck prices with four-wheel drive start around $45,000 and the absolute top-of-the-line model trims can go for $78,000 with all the bells and whistles.
Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks
Heavy-duty pickups are in a class of their own, built for serious payloads and towing jobs. Usually commercial, these trucks are so powerful they may actually become impractical for everyday use.
These can range in price from a basic, two-wheel-drive version for $35,000 to an all-out model for $80,000 or so.
Cab Size, Seating & Bed
Regular two-seater cabs are the baseline for any truck, but you extended and crew cabs as well. These have more seats and might be more useful if you’re driving your family or a crew of people to haul around.
The open cargo bed is what sets a truck apart. These can range in size like the cab sizes, from five and six feet to eight feet long. You can get a series of different accessories such as LED lighting, tie-down loops, and more.
