Dodge trucks for sale – Things that you should know
A lot of trucks these days are either classified as full sized ones or compact ones. But compact has become a relative term now. Each manufacturer has its own snazzy name for their products but there are 4 basic styles for the trucks – crew cab, extended cab, and regular cab. The regular cab comes with two doors and there are two or three seats. The compact extended cabs give you more space for storage and the full size versions can seat three more passengers. The rear clamshell doors make it pretty easy for the people and the cargo to get in and out of the extended cabs but some have front hinged, small doors. The crew cabs come with full size four doors and the seats are between six and five passengers. They all sit comfortably.
The base model compact trucks are the cheapest ones in the market right now but the loaded premium models can cost about $30,000 and the range of full size trucks will put you back by somewhere around $20,000 to $50,000.
The compact dodge trucks for sale have eight, six, five, and four cylinder engine options for different buyers. A lot of full sized trucks give you 6 cylinder engines on the base models but most of the trucks come with V8 or V10 engines which give good fuel economy numbers. The heavy duty full sized trucks give you diesel engines which offer plenty of power for towing and the mileage too is good.
Most of the trucks give you basic safety equipment like the front air bags and seat belts for all the passengers. The side curtain air bags and the stability control are now quite common on the full sized models. Some of the compact models aren’t really that good in the crash tests and hence you should be mind full about the rear jump seats which are not designed for protecting someone in crash.
Almost all the dodge trucks for sale give you automatic and manual transmissions along with 4 and 2 wheel drive. There are also traction aiding devices offered like limited locking/slip differentials and also electronic traction control.
Most of the dodge trucks for sale can be had along with 3 person front bench or the bucket seats. Crew or extended cabs give you ability to fold either entire rear seat up or at least one half or other. A few of the newest full sized trucks let you fold front passenger seat flat for providing handy table like surface.
The compact trucks can tow somewhere around three to seven thousand pounds and it depends on how much they are equipped to handle. The regular full sized trucks are able to tow about 12,000 pounds with certain configuration of suspension and engines although most of them range between eight to ten thousand pound capacities. The full sized heavy duty trucks haul about 30,000 pounds when they are equipped with connection of fifth wheel. You should be wary of the axle ration because they play a huge role in the towing capacity.
