One factor that is currently limiting buyers in going for the full-size trucks is the fuel economy. But nevertheless, the new designs, features and power that are incorporated in the manufacture of the current models make it hard for many buyers to resist them despite their cost and fuel consumption. Many manufactures are also keen on the fuel economy of their products, and this goes a long way in providing relief to the buyers. This article will look at the available best trucks for sale for the year 2011 so that you the buyer can know where best to invest your money.
The large truck options
As the name suggests, these trucks come with everything big, including the engines, the towing capacity, the torque, just to name but a few. There are many options of high quality in the market, with the difference being in the details. Many of the current track sales feature the Dodge Ram 1500 and you might wonder why. Well, wonder no more because here are the reasons. The leaf-spring design is a thing of the past in this truck, and in its place are the coil springs which are meant to offer an improved smoothness in the ride.
Going into the finer details, the Hemi V8 of the Dodge Ram 1500 has a torque of 407 pound-feet and a horsepower of 390. Its towing capacity stands at 10,250 pounds. All these are in addition to its big storage capacity of the cabin and beautiful interior design.
The Ford F-Series rallies closely behind the Ram as a favorite large truck alternative. The Ford Sync is one of the particularly unique features for these trucks. The V8 model for 2011 has come in handy to counter the criticisms leveled against the previous-year model, F-150 for its lack of power. One can also opt for the V6 which quiet efficient on fuel, or the twin-turbo V6 which combines both power and fuel efficiency.
Last but not the least of the large trucks is the Toyota Tundra. It has a towing capacity of 10,800 pounds with an axle ratio that is single and standard. The Turbo is much easier to drive when not loaded.
The Compact Truck Options
Under this category, Japanese models rule with the Toyota and Nissan brands. The Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado and Dodge Dakota of America are no longer the face of compact trucks for sale, and many have neglected them due to the fact that they are quite old.
The Nissan Frontier is a particular favorite among many buyers. The models range from the four-cylinder Frontier to the V6 models, with the latter providing the best options due to their horsepower as well as ample torque. Their towing capacity stands at 3 tons.
Toyota's only formidable representative is the Toyota Tacoma. Variations include four to six-cylinder engines. Tacoma comes in three body styles to choose from.
All the above models come with various variations to suit different budgets. When spoilt of choice about which truck to go for, it is advisable to compare various truck sales before coming to a conclusion.
