If you’ve never thought about owning a truck before, this might change your mind.
Once considered a vehicle for farmers and outdoorsmen, modern trucks are just as mainstream as minivans and SUVs. In fact, trucks have sold so well that many auto manufacturers are launching all-new trucks just to try to meet demand. Nowadays, there are almost as many truck owners in urban areas as there are in rural countrysides. And if that’s surprising for you to hear, well, perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve seen the inside of a new truck.
Even if the thought of owning a truck has never crossed your mind, here are five reasons why you might want to bring one home with you from the dealership.
- You can tow like a champion.
When it comes to towing, few vehicles compare to trucks. Many trucks can easily handle towing up to 5000 lbs, while others can tow over 10000 lbs without breaking a sweat. Whether you need to tow a boat, a mobile home, or even another vehicle, you’ll never be left wanting more power with a truck by your side.
- Beds are versatile.
Many people think the bed in the back of a truck is a place to haul garbage and other unseemly materials. But if you think outside the box, a truck bed has all kinds of uses.
Planning a camping trip? Take your truck to the site and pitch a tent in the bed for a comfortable night’s sleep with no bugs crawling up your arms. Need a place to relax? There are hammocks custom made to fit on a truck. Heck, you can even use some tarp and a hose to make an impromptu swimming pool for a hot summer’s day. If you dream it, you can make it happen in your truck.
- You’ll definitely be safe.
Modern vehicles pack state-of-the-art safety features, and trucks are no different. In fact, large pickup trucks have the lowest frequency of personal injury claims. The sheer size of a truck helps keep you safe in even nasty accidents, all thanks to the way they’re built. With the increasing popularity of trucks as family vehicles, you can rest easy knowing you and your passengers are safe on the road.
- They’re as luxurious as any other vehicle
If you haven’t been in a truck in a while, you might not believe the interior would be as stylish as any other vehicle on the market. Not only are trucks absolutely competitive in their luxury, but they’re also arguably even more beautiful and inventive than smaller vehicles.
Whether you want a sedan-style driver’s seat or a fully-equipped cockpit, there’s a truck out there to fit your needs. And let’s face it, when your vehicle has a cool interior, it’s way more fun to drive.
- Trucks can handle anything.
If you want a vehicle that can do anything, go anywhere, and live to tell the tale, a truck will never let you down. Whether you’re braving dangerous storms or exploring off-road terrain, trucks are built to withstand the harshest conditions. Combined with all the points listed above, it’s easy to see why Americans are buying more trucks than they ever have before.
