A medium-duty truck is meant to perform all kinds of tasks and carry all kinds of cargo. These are the perfect truck for hauling power tools, plowing streets or even towing other vehicles.

Or, if you’re ready to start shopping today, you can visit any one of our locations across the states of Colorado, Nevada & Wyoming and grab your new truck off the lot today! 

Efficient 

If you’ve been towing heavy cargo in a lightweight truck it won’t be long before you start to see some problems. Going over your vehicle’s weight limit will cause various parts and equipment to quickly fall into disrepair and put some serious strain on your truck. Not to mention all those extra trips you’re having to make because your lightweight truck just isn’t equipped for heavier use. Before you end up damaging your vehicle, get your hands on a medium-duty truck! These trucks are equipped with sturdier frames and parts and are designed to tow anywhere from 21,500 to 54,000 lbs.

Versatile

Medium-Duty Trucks also come with a lot of consumer options! Need to be able to maneuver in small city streets? You can grab a truck with a shorter bed to make getting around a little easier. Or if you’re regularly cruising along highways and interstates you can choose a longer bed to hold bulkier cargo. Whether you prefer gas or diesel you can easily find a medium-duty truck that runs on your preferred fuel. 

Safety

Towing heavy cargo in a lightweight truck isn’t only inefficient, it's dangerous as well. These vehicles have much smaller brake calipers than medium-duty trucks, meaning they can struggle to get over hills. They may also have difficulty stopping with an extremely heavy load. Avoid an accident in the making and grab a medium-duty truck for all your towing needs! 

As you can see, having the correct truck for your cargo type is very important. If you’re ever in need of a medium, heavy, or severe-duty truck, we hope you’ll visit us at McCandless Truck Center!
