When you're looking for a new truck to add to your collection, you may be tempted to purchase a pre-owned or used model. While used trucks can be great, you should consider leasing or loaning a new truck instead. Here are a few benefits that buying a new truck comes with.
This may seem obvious, but the newness of a never before owned truck is a great benefit to have. Not only are you the first to make yourself at home in the cabin, but you're also the first to tow and haul the things that you need. Who knows what number of heavy items a used truck has towed before it was brought to the lot?
No one can keep up with technology these days, but, when you buy a brand-new truck, you'll have some of the latest infotainment and safety technology currently on the market. You could find up-to-date Uconnect® NAV systems, one of the largest touchscreen infotainment devices around, like the 12-inch Uconnect® touchscreen device in the Ram 1500, and the newest safety features to help protect you and keep you alerted to what's happening around you.
Every year truck makers come out with even better powertrain options. For example, some new trucks now can include a diesel engine, which wasn't an option before. These added features and redesigned exteriors will make for better towing and payload ratings and could provide you with more horsepower and torque than the previous models.
A used truck won't have a new powertrain or limited warranty while a brand-new truck will. This means that, if you happen to be in an accident or if your truck breaks down, you'll be required to spend more money on repairs and spend the time to get it fixed. A new truck will be ready to handle whatever you put before it and will be covered if something does unfortunately come your way.
These are just a few of the many benefits that come with leasing our loaning a new truck in Franklin, NC. To find out more, we encourage drivers from Waynesville, Sylva, Hazelwood NC, Cullowhee, Clayton NC, and beyond to stop by our Smoky Mountain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership to discuss what new trucks we currently have available and see why you'll fall in love with the new Ram trucks we have to offer.
