There are a lot of different factors to consider when buying a truck. Drivers who only have experience with sedans may not know what to look for, and even experienced truck owners can accidentally glance over small details that don’t seem important at the moment but may come back to haunt them down the road. We want to help you find the perfect vehicle, so let’s go over some of the factors to keep in mind when you’re browsing our inventory.
Trucks aren’t meant to just sit there and look pretty: they’re utilitarian vehicles built for getting things done. Since hauling cargo in the bed and towing trailers are two of the most common tasks trucks are used for, it’s good to know how much weight they can handle. While they’re often talked about together, towing and payload are two separate stats. Generally, a truck with a higher towing capacity will also have a higher payload capacity (and vice versa), but there are exceptions, so when in doubt, always double-check.
Towing capacity refers to the amount of weight a truck can pull when it is pulling a trailer and varies widely from model to model. It can be only a few thousand pounds, or it can be tens of thousands of pounds. If you’re looking for a workhorse and don’t know what you might be towing from job to job, it’s best to get as high a towing capacity as you can afford. On the other hand, if you’ll be using your truck more for vacationing and there’s one particular boat or trailer that you want to be able to handle, you can find out its weight and just make sure that the truck will be able to tow it. Keep in mind that towing capacity can vary from trim level to trim level, so you can’t just look at the stats for a particular model and assume that it will apply across the board.
Payload capacity is the maximum weight that a truck can carry in its bed. Since it takes more effort to carry cargo than to tow it, the payload is always going to max out at a lower weight than towing. Again, how much of this matters depends on what you’ll be using your truck for. If you’re only going to be loading the bed up with camping equipment or Costco groceries, then you don’t need to worry too much about it. On the other hand, if you’ll be regularly loading your truck up with cinder blocks or sandbags, you’d better pay closer attention.
A truck can have the highest payload capacity around, but if the bed isn’t big enough to fit your cargo, then it hardly matters. If you’ll be loading up a lot of small objects, then you can get a good idea of what you need by looking at a bed’s volume. However, if you need to haul bigger, bulkier items, then you’ll want to pay attention to the length and width. A lot of trucks have different options when it comes to beds, offering short, standard, or long sizes, so you want to make sure that you’re getting the stats for the specific vehicle you’re interested in, not just grabbing the standard stats off the manufacturer’s site.
Just because you’re getting a used truck doesn’t mean you have to miss out on modern conveniences. Automakers have been loading trucks up with high-tech features for years now, so you’ll find plenty of models on the lot that have touchscreens, keyless entry, and more. If you like to use your smartphone for navigation or music while you drive, look for models that have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (depending on your device). These features make it easy to control your apps through the vehicle’s interface, either via a touchscreen in the dashboard or voice command.
Of course, tech is used for more than just playing your podcasts on the road. Many modern features use various cameras and other sensors to help keep you safe. If you do a lot of highway driving, you can look for features like lane departure warnings, lane keep assist, and forward-collision warnings. Some trucks also have adaptive cruise control, which maintains a certain following distance between you and the car in front of you instead of just keeping a consistent speed.
When it comes to more truck-specific safety tech, you’ll want to look at trailering features. Some trucks allow you to view the trailer from multiple angles using various cameras, so you can monitor it in real-time without leaving the cab. Trucks with different “driving modes” often have a trailering mode that optimizes braking and balance to help keep you in control, even when towing heavy loads at high speeds. There are also more basic things to look for, like the proper hookups for your type of trailer or the ability to sync the truck’s brakes and turn signals up with the trailer’s.
