2011 Diesel Truck Choices

No one likes to have to visit Car Repair Shop Richmond more than necessary, and with the great selection of new trucks on the market these days, you really shouldn’t have to. Vehicles are being built better than they were in the past and are estimated to last a lot longer than past models. Some drivers prefer the older style of trucks that Cadillac Dealer Morristown used to offer, but the sleek finish of some of the new diesel trucks are making devoted car shoppers consider buying a truck. Because the domestic diesel trucks on the market these days borrow engine styles from the big rig trucks of the road, diesel pickup truck owners spend less time at Virginia Service Dealers and more time out on the open road towing trailers and boats.

For 2010 the top two selling vehicles in the United States were trucks; this comes as a shocker considering our ever increasing gas prices. The 2010 Ford F-150 was the top seller and the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado was the second best-selling vehicle for 2010. Current pickup truck owners might want to consider switching over to a diesel truck if they haven’t done so already. While the initial purchase price of a diesel truck is considerably higher than a regular gasoline truck, you get better fuel economy, the engine will last a lot longer, and you can tow larger loads without straining your engine.

From the General Motors family we have the Silverado Heavy Duty Series as well as the Sierra Heavy Duty pickup trucks. The Chevy Silverado HD comes as either the 2500HD or 3500HD model, and your price starts off around $28K and goes upwards to $46K. The cousin from General Motors is the GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD and the price for one of those can cost as much as $47K. For those loyal Chrysler fans, there is the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, but their prices are much higher than GM. The Ram 2500 ranges from $28K to $49K while the 3500 jumps to $35K up to $56K. Finally we have the Ford F-Series trucks. Their F-250, F-350, and F-450 range in price from $29K up to $58K.
