SUVs vs. Trucks: Which One to Choose?

Choosing between a truck and an SUV can be difficult, as both options have their benefits and drawbacks. To determine the type of vehicle that suits an individual’s needs and preferences, there are several factors to consider. These include:

• Size and space: An SUV has more cargo space than a truck, making it ideal for families. In contrast, a pickup truck has more bed space than an SUV, which makes it suitable for hauling large items. 
• Style and comfort: For more comfort and convenience features, such as leather seats and a sunroof, an SUV is ideal. Choose a pickup truck for a more rugged and sporty appeal, including features such as custom wheels and lift kits. 
• Performance and fuel economy: A pickup truck may have more horsepower and torque than an SUV, but it tends to have lower fuel efficiency. To balance fuel economy and performance, opt for an SUV. 

Leasing vs. Buying

Another decision buyers face when shopping for a new or used vehicle is whether to buy or lease. Buying and leasing both have their benefits and drawbacks, depending on goals and financial situation. To drive a new Ford every few years with reduced maintenance costs and lower monthly payments, leasing may be a better option. At the end of the lease term, a driver can either buy the vehicle or trade it in for another one. However, leasing doesn’t offer equity or ownership in the vehicle and may incur fees if the lease terminates early. 

Buyers have ownership and equity in the vehicle. This means they can keep, sell, or trade it in as they please. They can also customize their vehicle as they wish and drive as much as they want. However, it requires them to have the funds to make a larger upfront payment. Also, buying incurs maintenance and depreciation costs and makes selling or trading in an old vehicle necessary.
