Every Outdoorsman who relies on a vehicle for hunting, fishing, camping,
or just going off road to throw your truck into four wheel drive has their own
brand that they swear by. Some people will always choose a classic Ford or
Chevy pickup truck to handle their adventure;
others swear by
Rocky Ridge trucks because they're tough and reliable American-made
trucks. We all have our favorite outdoors vehicles, and that makes it more
upsetting when your trusted current model needs to be replaced. Finding a new
truck for the great outdoors can be stressful, but if you start off on the
right foot, the whole process can be a lot easier. If you're looking for a new
vehicle for your next camping, hunting, or fishing trip; make sure to follow
these tips:
Know the
value of your old vehicle
When you're thinking about buying a new vehicle, your thoughts probably
aren't on how much money your old one is worth. It doesn't matter whether
you're planning on selling it or trading it in, you need to figure out how much
your previous vehicle is worth. You may be able to sell it and use some of the
money you earn for your new vehicle, or you may be able to donate it and use it
as a tax write off.
There are many different sources to get a value for your
trade online. Kelley Blue Book is still considered the ultimate authority in
vehicle values, so
head over to their website with some basic
information about your car to get a quote.
Just remember the value you get online is only as good as the
information you input so make sure you are accurate with the details so the
value you get is as close to true market value as possible. Don’t forget that
used vehicle values depreciate on a weekly basis so make sure you have a
current value before going to a dealership to save yourself time and
aggravation.
Think about
fuel efficiency
When most people think about finding new vehicles for the great outdoors,
they're more concerned with space, horsepower, torque, and off-road capability
than they are with anything else. You want a powerful truck that you'll be able
to haul a lot of equipment in. Off-road
vehicles can guzzle a lot of gas when you're trekking through the woods or up a
mountain side and all of those gallons will start to add up. Believe it or not,
now you can get these types of trucks that are fuel efficient without
compromising ability due to new technologies like Ford’s Eco-boost engine and
Chevy’s new Duramax diesel.
Don't assume
that newer is better
It seems like people flock to the dealership as soon as next year's model
is available, even if they're not in the market for a new vehicle. Some people
are willing to pay anything to make sure that they have the latest model
vehicle, and their need to be the first to have something new will cost them a
significant amount of money. Often times, you can find a great pre-owned truck
for almost half the price of a new one, and just as much manufacturer warranty
when dealing with a
Certified Pre-Owned
Dealer.
If you are in need of a new truck with off-road capabilities to explore
the great outdoors,

you. As the largest dealer of Rocky Ridge trucks in the Northeast, we have one
