Why Buy A Truck Or SUV? - Clinton Twp, MI

Passenger Capacity

One of the most important things to consider when deciding between a truck and an SUV is how many passengers you will need to carry. If you have a small family or don’t typically have a lot of passengers, a pickup truck like the Sierra with a passenger capacity of five would be perfect. If you have a big family with a few little ones, a seven or eight passenger SUV like the Enclave or the Yukon would be a good choice.

    Cargo Capacity

    Both trucks and SUVs offer plenty of storage space to meet a variety of cargo needs. If you often transport long, unwieldy cargo that doesn’t need to be protected from the elements, trucks like the Sierra HD have ample space in the truck bed to carry up to 6,112 pounds of payload. If you frequently carry luggage, groceries, or even family pets, the fold-down second and third row seating in an SUV like the Acadia allows for up to 79 cubic feet of interior cargo space. 

      Intended Usage

      Consider the intended use of your vehicle before making a purchase decision. Are you a contractor with a need for a mobile office, room in the bed to carry tools, and trailering capacity of up to 21,300 pounds? If so, a truck like the Sierra HD or the Canyon is likely best for you. If you need a vehicle for the daily commute or to accommodate the needs of a growing family, an SUV like the Encore or Terrain would be the most comfortable choice. 

      Whether you decide on a truck or SUV, Jim Causley has the perfect Buick or GMC to meet your needs.
