If you’re on the search for commercial trucks in Franklin, KY, look no further than Hunt Chrysler Center. We’ll work one-on-one with your needs, to ensure you take home the perfect vehicle at the right price for your business. Today, we’re covering a few crucial factors to research when purchasing commercial trucks from our dealership.
Engine Output
Engine output will affect how much a truck can carry or tow. This may not matter as much for certain applications; a supervisor’s vehicle won’t need the same power as one that’s towing or hauling large amounts of gear. In any event, it’s important to evaluate present needs and future growth so you’re picking a vehicle that’ll keep up with your day-to-day needs.
Weights and Capacities
While power is important, it’s only one part of the equation. Different trucks will have different axle weights, frame weights, and capacities, which is why trucks like the RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 have different capabilities despite having similar engines under the hood. Here again, think about your needs, and consider going with a bit more than you think you may need; we find it’s generally better to have the capability and not need it 100 percent of the time versus needing it and not having it.
The Available Features
It’s also worth considering upfit options. You can do a lot with a pickup – experience reminds us of this daily – but depending on your use case, other features and metrics may be more important. A cab chassis truck, for instance, offers a blank canvas that can take all kinds of upfits, from a service body or dump body to a flatbed, stake body, cherry picker, or practically anything else you can think of.
