Types of pickup trucks
Before choosing a pickup truck, it's a good idea to consider what you plan to use it for and what size of truck you need. For daily driving, mid-sized pickups like the Toyota Tacoma offer great utility while being more fuel-efficient and easier to maneuver than larger trucks. Full-sized trucks like the Ford F-series are bigger and brawnier and offer versatility as either work or family vehicles. Full-sized trucks come in light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty classifications based on how much they can tow and haul. The RAM 1500 is considered light-duty, the RAM 2500 medium-duty and the RAM 3500 a heavy-duty truck.
Pros and cons of driving a pickup truck
Pickup trucks are among the most popular vehicles on Edmonton roads because drivers love their versatility, rugged look and capability. If you're deciding between a car and a truck, some things to consider include price, fuel consumption, size and versatility. Generally speaking, even basic pickups are more expensive than cars. They also consume more gas. And the bigger the truck, the bigger the bill and the harder it is to drive and park. But on the other hand, you can do far more with a pickup. A pickup is not just a people-mover—it can tow, haul and plow. Most pickups handle challenging weather and road conditions with ease. Plus you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer, haul a cord of wood, hit the trails or help a friend move.
