Should You Buy a Truck? [We'll Help You Decide]

1. Need for horsepower

Even though most cars, including sports cars, don't need a lot of power to run well, trucks are a different story. Because trucks are built to do tough jobs, they usually have a lot of horsepower, even if they're not the biggest or strongest around. For example, the Ford Ranger and Honda Ridgeline both start with horsepower in the 270-280 range. While having lots of horsepower isn't everything, it's still one of the most important things when it comes to how well a vehicle can perform.

2. The tailgate

Cars have trunks and hatchbacks, and they're pretty handy. But, being honest, nobody throws a party in the name of a trunk or hatchback. The tailgate of a truck, on the other hand, is more than just a door to the truck bed. It's an idea, it's a vibe, and yes, it's the perfect spot to sit, swing your legs and enjoy a cold one during concerts, BBQs, or just hanging out in the parking lot before a big game.

3. Towing capacity

With a truck, pulling heavy haul is way easier, smoother, and less tiring for the vehicle. This is because trucks have lots of torque, which greatly improves their towing capacity. Basically, the ability to tow heavy loads is what makes a great pickup truck.

Cars and SUVs can be fitted with hitches, but if you tow stuff regularly, you really need a truck. Powerful trucks, such as the GMC Sierra , Chevrolet Silverado , or the RAM , are like strong tugboats on wheels, capable of pulling twice their own weight. This is why truck owners are willing to overlook things like fuel economy. They know when it comes to heavy lifting, a truck is the best tool for the job.

4. Haul items you wouldn&#;t be able to transport otherwise

That sedan with the fold-down seats or the &#;super flexible&#; crossover might seem like it can handle anything. But try moving some long 2×4s, 4×4s or 6×6s, and you'll quickly see their limits. It's the same story with big items like lounge chairs, mattresses, or sheets of drywall.

5. Power in compact sizes

Truck manufacturers are now packing all that power, torque, and towing capabilities into much smaller engines. Not long ago, big trucks always meant V-8 engines. But V-6 engines, especially turbocharged ones, have come a long way. They're so good now that you can get the same performance with two fewer cylinders. 


If you've been avoiding trucks because you think they have huge engines that drink gas and are bad on fuel economy, things have changed. The balance between power and fuel efficiency you've been waiting for might be here already. Plus, manufacturers offer now hybrid trucks like the RAM , or all electric trucks like a Rivian R1T and a Hummer EV.

But if you're not a fan of these smaller engines, don't worry. If you want a big engine in a compact-size truck, try the Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel 16 engine. The RAM has  420 horsepower, 1,075 pound-feet of torque, can carry 6,570 lbs, and can tow an impressive 37,100 pounds.
