Is An SUV Right For You

SUVs are one of the most versatile vehicles on the market. They offer great family legroom and more storage for gear than a regular car making them ideal for family vacations.

What Are The Different Types Of SUVs

If you're in the market for an SUV, first, consider what size will best suit your needs. There are small SUVs (also called crossovers), midsize SUVs, and large SUVs.

 

  • Smaller SUVs offer better fuel economy and easier maneuverability, while large SUVs can accommodate more people and gear.

  • Crossovers are based on a car chassis, so they have unibody construction and usually offer better fuel economy than truck-based SUVs. They also tend to be smaller and more maneuverable than truck-based SUVs.

  • Midsize SUVs offer a happy medium between crossovers and large SUVs. They're big enough to comfortably seat up to eight people, but not so large that they're difficult to park or maneuver.

  • Large SUVs are the largest and most expensive SUVs on the market. They offer the most passenger and cargo space, but can be difficult to park and maneuver. They also tend to have poorer fuel

Next, decide what kind of features you're looking for in a SUV. Do you need four-wheel drive for off-roading or bad weather? Would you like a third row of seating to fit more passengers? Do you need a lot of cargo space for hauling gear?

Benefits Of A Truck With Features Of An SUV

Trucks have been synonymous with the American way of life for generations. They've been used to haul everything from livestock, lumber, material and everything in between. The trend for years has been to transform them from rugged reliable work vehicles into luxury machines. Some have even come to think of them as big SUVs. It's no wonder that pick-up trucks are some of the most popular vehicles in America.

Luxury With Function

One of the hottest features to hit the market is automated and multi-function tailgates. Ram took the lead in 2019 and introduced their Multi-Function Tailgate. This available feature allows you to open and close their tailgate with the push of a button. The Multi-Function Tailgate also features a 60/40 split door that can be opened to about 90 degrees, making it easier to load and unload cargo.

Safety That Won't Bruise Your Ego

The Multi-Function Tailgate has been a huge success due to its many features and benefits. The automated opening and closing is a big time saver, and the split door design is extremely helpful when loading and unloading cargo. What you might not realize however is its safety benefits.

How many times have you seen someone trying to climb into the back of a truck only to slip and fall? It happens more often than you might think. At a minimum it's embarrassing. You get a few bumps and bruises, but more serious injuries can and do occur. The Multi-Function Tailgate can help prevent these types of accidents by providing a safe and easy way to get in and out of the bed of the truck.
