You can buy today a new pickup truck for less than $16,000, let me tell you where, but first... ¿Compact or large? [img3=/cheapcarsimg/compact-truck-2012-toyota-tacoma.jpg]Toyota Tacoma 2012. The Tacoma is the cheapest and most wanted pickup truck in AmericaThere is nothing better than a pickup truck for heavy work, as well as to go fishing or stroll with the family. In a market that offers many different models of all sizes, engines, uses and utilities, knowing exactly which truck to buy can be complicated and confusing. Here we offer you some tips that will help you to choose or to clarify your doubts about what is the most appropriate model. While previously the pickup trucks were used as work vehicles, currently they are used for daily transportation. Pickup trucks are available in various sizes and levels of additional equipment, from heavy-duty or work trucks with no accessories and 4x4 off-road to luxury models for five passengers.

Large pickup truckFurthermore, you can choose from a wide variety of engines, cab configurations, box lengths, and types of suspension to adapt the truck to your needs. Here are some things you should consider: :allright:The main differences between the compact and large trucks are the size of the vehicle, the available engines, and the towing capacity. :allright:Compact trucks are easier to park, have better fuel efficiency, and are cheaper. But as they have smaller engines and are weight lighter, they do not have the same towing capacity than large trucks. :allright:Large Trucks offer more interior space, stronger engines, and greater cargo capacity but generally consume more fuel and can be more difficult to park in narrow spaces. Large trucks also serve to carry heavier trailers. Large trucks also serve to carry heavier trailers. If your intention is to leave the pickup truck in a garage, make sure it is large enough for the vehicle you choose. ¿Regular Cab, extended or double? [img3=/cheapcarsimg/regular-cab-pickup-truck-toyota-tundra.jpg]Regular Cab Pickup Truck. Toyota Tacoma 2012. The Tacoma is the cheapest and most wanted pickup truck in AmericaRegular cab models are the most economical. The extended cab offers more room behind the front seats plus two rear seats perfect for small children on short walks. Many of the extended cab models have one or two small rear doors to facilitate access to the rear. The double cab trucks have four doors and two full-seat rows that can carry up to five people comfortably. However, these trucks usually have shorter boxes. Short or long boxes? [img3=/cheapcarsimg/shortbox-pickup-truck-gmc-sierra-denali.jpg]Short Box Pickup Truck. 2012 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 Crew Cab Short Box Pickup.In some double cab models, the box length varies from 8 feet in its longer version to 4 feet in its shorter version. The best length box is the shortest that suits your needs. It is more difficult to maneuver a truck with longer boxes in tight spaces. Extensions, yes or no? Many compact pickups have an extension that lets you use the truck with the door open box to carry a charge longer. For example, a pickup truck with a box of 6.5 feet can carry a load of 8 feet with the box door open. The extensions occupy the cargo space when the box door is closed, but they can be removed easily. Two or four-wheel drive? If you are going to use the pickup truck solely to drive on highways and in moderate weather conditions, the two-wheel-drive (2WD) truck is preferable. It is more expensive to buy, use and ensure the four-wheel drive model besides that its weight affects acceleration and fuel efficiency. The four-wheel drive system is more convenient to drive outside paved roads, in winter conditions, or when you need low traction to put a boat into the water. Trailer? All trucks can be used for towing although larger pickup trucks can carry more load than smaller ones. To get the maximum towing capacity of a pickup truck, it is generally necessary to equip it with an optional towing package. This varies according to the model but usually includes a transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, and wiring harness to connect the trailer lights to the truck. Engine size. The base engine in compact pickup trucks is generally a four-cylinder which is the most economical and which provides a relatively good fuel economy. The optional V6 engines are stronger and generally more quiet and smooth. Some modern V6 engines have fuel efficiency almost as good as four-cylinder engines. The base engine for a large truck is the V6 which has better fuel economy than the larger optional engines. But to carry heavy loads or towing, large trucks have V8, V10, and more powerful diesel engines. You can compare the estimated fuel efficiency of EPA for determined pickup truck models at www.fueleconomy.gov. Media, 3/4 or 1 ton? Pickup trucks are divided into categories according to their payload capacity. Most of the pickup trucks used for personal transport are versions of half tons. Generally, three-quarters and 1 ton of cargo are usually the versions used for commercial or heavy trailers because of their greater resistance. Keep in mind the use that you will give to the vehicle at the time of buying and resist the urge of buying too much capacity since pickup trucks for heavier use have stiffer and more uncomfortable suspensions.
