Why Buy A Medium Duty Truck?
It’s hard to beat the utility and convenience of a medium duty truck. They can serve a variety of purposes and are useful in many different professional applications. This type of vehicle can be defined by the classes it falls into, which are based on the vehicle’s gross volume weight rating (GVWR).
Of the eight classifications in the United States, medium duties can either be Class 4 (GVWR of 14,001 to 16,000 pounds), Class 5 (GVWR of 16,001 to 19,500 pounds) or Class 6 (GVWR of 19,501 to 26,000 pounds). Generally, you won’t need a special license to operate any of these, although you’ll want to check local laws.
So why buy a medium duty truck? There are several reasons, actually! Your friends at Palmer Truck, serving Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky, have detailed some of the top reasons below. Come visit us when you want to check out our available selection, which includes some top-of-the-line models by Kenworth.
Excellent Fuel Economy
For businesses on a budget, a medium duty truck is a practical choice because of its improved fuel economy. You’ll get many more miles to the gallon than you would in a massive vehicle. If you really don’t need that extra length and weight, then going with the smaller option can save you a bundle on gasoline.
More Comfort
Extra features are available for many medium-duty truck models that will improve your comfort as you drive. Depending on how long you’ll be spending in the cab, you may or may not want these assets. For example, someone working on a construction site probably won’t need as many perks as someone driving for hundreds of miles. Some things you’ll want to consider adding, in this case, are air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power locks.
Maneuverability
Compared to larger vehicles, a medium duty truck has a much smaller footprint and is easier to maneuver in tighter areas. They can be a lot easier to drive and you won’t have as much trouble parking them on small lots or streets as needed.
Versatility
Medium duty trucks can serve a variety of purposes, including towing, cement mixing, hauling, dumping, refrigeration and more. The fact that you can use them in so many industries makes them practical for many professional organizations. Their smaller size makes them ideal for lighter tasks as opposed to very heavy industry, so they’re ideal for people who know they need more power from their rig without it being too big.
