Best Fuel-Efficient Trucks That Work Hard Like You

Myth Busted: Are Trucks Still Gas Guzzlers? Not Anymore!

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love a truck, but I just can’t handle the gas bills,” you’re not alone. For years, people have believed that owning a truck automatically meant spending more at the pump. But the truth is, today’s trucks are more efficient, smarter, and more versatile than ever before.

We understand that people love trucks for what they represent: freedom, capability, and reliability. Whether it’s weekend adventures, towing a boat, or just having the confidence to handle whatever life throws your way, a truck gives you options. And now, you can have all that without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

The Old Truck Myth

Once upon a time, trucks were built for one thing: work. They were heavy, powerful, and didn’t worry much about miles per gallon. That’s where the “gas guzzler” reputation came from. But those days are long gone.

Automakers have spent years refining truck design and technology, creating pickups that are strong enough to tow and haul yet smart enough to save fuel when you’re cruising.

Modern Innovation = Better MPG

Today’s trucks are nothing like those of the past. With advanced engineering and design, they can do it all get the job done and go the extra mile on a tank of gas.

  • Smaller, turbocharged engines that deliver big power when needed but sip fuel during everyday driving.

  • Hybrid and mild-hybrid systems that blend strength and efficiency seamlessly.

  • Streamlined body design that cuts down wind resistance.

  • Smart fuel management systems, like cylinder deactivation, that use less fuel when you’re not towing or climbing hills.

The result? You can drive the truck you want and still feel good about how much you’re saving at the pump.

Ready to See the Difference?

When you see what’s available today, you might be surprised at how efficient trucks have become. Check out our current inventory to explore models designed for performance and fuel savings. Whether you want something for work, play, or both, there’s a truck out there that fits your lifestyle and your budget.

Thinking About Trading In?

If you’re ready to move up to a newer, more efficient truck, now’s a great time. Visit our trade-in page to see what your current vehicle is worth. Many drivers are surprised to learn their trade-in value can go a long way toward lowering the cost of their next truck and that means even more money saved in the long run.

Can’t Find What You’re Looking For?

Maybe you already know the exact truck you want the trim, color, or features but it’s hard to find. Don’t worry. If we don’t have it in stock, we’ll find it for you through our Vehicle Locator Service. Just tell us what you’re looking for, and our team will track it down. It’s one more way we make shopping easy and stress-free.

The Smart Driver's Dilemma Buying Or Leasing

The Benefits of Buying a Used Car vs. Leasing

Two of the most popular routes drivers take are buying a used car or exploring a lease. Each offers its own set of advantages, depending on your lifestyle, driving habits, and financial goals. Understanding the benefits of both can help you make a confident, well-informed decision.

The Advantages of Buying Used

Buying a used car is one of the most practical ways to own a vehicle. Used cars often come with a lower price tag than brand-new cars, which means you can get more features or a higher trim level while keeping payments manageable.

Because used cars typically have a lower overall value, insurance costs can also be more affordable — a welcome benefit for anyone mindful of monthly expenses.

Many dealerships offer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles, which are carefully inspected and often come with added warranty coverage. These programs give buyers extra peace of mind and access to reliable, high-quality vehicles without the new-car price.

Ownership also provides long-term flexibility. Once the car is paid off, it’s yours — no mileage limits or lease terms. You can decide when to sell, trade in, or simply keep driving it for years to come.

The Advantages of Leasing

Leasing is another option that appeals to drivers who enjoy getting behind the wheel of newer vehicles more often. Lease payments are generally lower than financing a purchase, making it easier to enjoy the latest models and technology.

Leasing can also simplify upkeep, since regular maintenance and warranty coverage often extend through the lease term. That means fewer unexpected costs and more predictable expenses.

At the end of the lease, drivers have options — they can explore a new model, renew, or consider buying the vehicle if it suits their needs. For those who prefer variety or drive predictable annual mileage, leasing can provide convenience and flexibility.

Finding What Works Best for You

Both buying used and leasing can be smart, practical choices — it all depends on what matters most to you. If you value ownership, long-term savings, and flexibility, buying a used car might be your best match. If you enjoy the idea of driving newer vehicles with consistent payments and minimal maintenance concerns, leasing may be worth exploring.

How A Few Accidents Made Cars Safer

 

When you think about cars, you might picture powerful engines, shiny paint, and stylish designs. But some of the most important features in your vehicle today didn’t come from careful planning, they started with slips, spills, and a few surprising turns of fate. Little mistakes that ended up making driving a lot safer.

A Little Kitchen Mishap

Charles Goodyear had been struggling to tame natural rubber. It melted in the heat and cracked in the cold, completely unreliable. One day while experimenting, he dropped a mix of rubber and sulfur onto a hot surface. Instead of turning into a sticky mess, it charred but stayed strong and springy. That accident became the process of vulcanization, the foundation for the tough, weatherproof tires that grip the road under every car today. Today’s tires go even further: engineered tread patterns, silica compounds, and built-in pressure sensors all work together to keep drivers safe on wet, snowy, and scorching roads.

A Broken Flask

A French chemist once dropped a glass flask that had been coated with a thin plastic film. To his surprise, it cracked but didn’t shatter into dangerous shards. That stumble inspired the idea of laminating glass with a protective layer, which evolved into the safety glass in every windshield. Modern windshields don’t just stay intact in a crash they also block UV rays, reduce noise, and even host sensors for lane-keeping systems and heads-up displays.

The Cylinder Surprise

While working with gases used in refrigeration, chemists left a cylinder pressurized overnight. When they opened it, the gas was gone, replaced by a slippery, waxy solid coating on the inside of the container. This new material was polytetrafluoroethylene, better known as Teflon. It later found its way into seals, hoses, and coatings that reduce friction and prevent dangerous leaks in engines. Today, advanced materials like this make sure engines run smoothly and reliably, even under extreme conditions.

I Can See Clearly Now the Rain Is Gone…

Mary Anderson once noticed a streetcar driver leaning out and stopping constantly to wipe rain off the windshield by hand. She thought: there has to be a better way. Her swinging arm with a rubber blade was the first windshield wiper. Now, cars use rain sensors that automatically adjust the wipers so drivers can focus on the road.

Objects in Mirror May Appear Closer…

At the Indianapolis 500, a driver wanted to race without a passenger to watch his back. He strapped a small mirror to his dashboard, giving birth to the rearview mirror. That quick fix is now a high-tech feature, often equipped with blind-spot monitoring, auto-dimming glass, and rear cameras.

A Soft Landing in a Hard Crash

After a close call, an engineer imagined using compressed air to soften the blow inside a car. His sketch of an inflatable cushion turned into the first airbag concept. Today’s airbags deploy in milliseconds, adapt to crash severity, and even include side-curtain versions that protect everyone in the vehicle.

A Cat’s Gaze in the Dark

A road engineer noticed how a cat’s eyes reflected headlights at night. That little observation sparked the invention of reflective studs for roads known as “cat’s eyes.” The idea grew into reflective lane paint, LED markers, and adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel, all designed to keep night driving safe.

Cars Are Safer Today

Cars may have roots in chance discoveries, but it’s no accident that modern vehicles are safer than ever. What began as dropped flasks, overheated rubber, and odd observations has become:

  • Tires engineered for grip in any weather.

  • Windshields that stay intact under impact.

  • Wipers and mirrors that do the thinking for you.

  • Airbags, sensors, and cameras ready to protect you in milliseconds.

We know cars aren’t just machines, they’re the result of human creativity, trial and error, and the constant push for safety. That’s why we’re proud to offer vehicles packed with the latest safety features, designed to keep you and your family secure on every trip.

What NHTSA’s Safety Rating Delay Means For You

Buying Smart While Staying Safe

When you’re shopping for a used car, safety is often the first thing on your mind and for good reason. That’s why so many buyers look to the 5-Star Safety Ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) when comparing vehicles.

Recently, NHTSA announced that its planned update to the 5-Star Safety Rating system originally scheduled for 2026 models will now be delayed until 2027. At first glance, this might sound like a complicated government decision. But for used car shoppers, it actually brings good news.

 

Current Ratings Still Count

Because the updated standards are postponed, all vehicles on the market today are still measured by the existing criteria. That means a 2019–2025 vehicle with a 5-star score remains just as trustworthy today as when it was tested. For anyone shopping used, this stability is reassuring: your car’s rating won’t suddenly feel “out of date” in the next year or two.

Many Used Cars Already Have “Future” Features

Even though the government won’t officially include them in ratings until 2027, many late-model used cars already come equipped with advanced safety technology. Depending on the year and trim level, you can find features such as:

  • Blind-spot monitoring  helps spot vehicles you might not see in your mirrors.

  • Lane-keeping assist gently corrects steering to help keep you centered.

  • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection  added peace of mind in city driving.

  • Adaptive cruise control  maintains a safe distance automatically on the highway.

These are the very features regulators will highlight in a couple of years. Smart shoppers can enjoy them today often at thousands less than the cost of buying new. Browse our latest selection here: Shop Our Inventory.

Value That Lasts

Since the new safety criteria won’t apply until 2027, a used car you buy now won’t lose its credibility on resale. In fact, vehicles already equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems may hold their value even better as demand for those features grows. Thinking ahead about equity? See what your current vehicle is worth: Value Your Trade.

We Help You Shop Smart

Our team can also help you identify which models in our inventory already include features that align with the next generation of safety standards.

The Bottom Line

The NHTSA’s delay in updating safety ratings may sound like a technical detail, but here’s what it really means: today’s used cars remain a safe, reliable, and value-packed choice. With many pre-owned vehicles already equipped with features regulators will soon highlight, there has never been a better time to consider buying used.

First-Time Car Buyer’s Guide

What You Need to Know Before Visiting the Dealership

Buying your first car is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start. The good news? With a little preparation, the process can be simple, smooth, and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you feel confident before walking into the dealership.

1. Set Your Budget

The first step is deciding what you’re comfortable spending. Think about a monthly payment that fits your lifestyle , something you can manage without stretching your finances too far.

Remember, the cost of a car isn’t just the sticker price. You’ll also need to account for taxes, title, and registration fees, and you may want to plan for optional protections like extended warranties or service coverage.

If you have a vehicle to trade in, that can help lower your monthly cost or reduce the amount you need to finance. Even a small down payment can make a big difference.

Loan terms vary, too:

  • Shorter terms = higher monthly payments, less total interest.

  • Longer terms = smaller payments, more interest over time.

To get a better idea of what works for you, try our loan calculator. And when you’re ready, you can also apply for financing online.

2. Research Your Options

Since you’re shopping for a used car, narrowing down the options is key. Used vehicles come in all shapes, sizes, and price ranges, and finding the right fit starts with thinking about your lifestyle needs:

  • Do you commute long distances? Look for fuel efficiency and comfort.

  • Have a family? Space and safety ratings may be top priorities.

  • Need something for work or outdoor activities? Durability, towing capacity, or all-wheel drive could be important.

  • Running errands around town? A smaller, easy-to-park car might be the best fit.

You can start your search right now by browsing our used car inventory. Once you have a shortlist, the test drive is where everything comes together. Sitting behind the wheel, checking visibility, and trying out the controls will tell you far more than any spec sheet.

3. Understand Financing Basics

Financing a used car doesn’t need to be complicated. A little preparation goes a long way:

  • Get preapproved if you can. Knowing what you qualify for helps you shop with confidence. Start here: apply for financing.

  • Understand loan terms. Shorter terms come with higher payments but less interest overall; longer terms mean smaller payments but more interest across the life of the loan.

  • Know your credit score. This can affect both approval and interest rates. Even if your score isn’t perfect, dealerships work with a wide range of customers to find workable solutions.

  • Make a down payment. The more you put down upfront, the less you’ll need to finance which helps reduce your monthly payment.

Not sure how the numbers will shake out? Use our loan calculator to explore different scenarios. And remember, our finance team is here to walk you through the details step by step.

4. What to Bring to the Dealership

Coming prepared makes your first visit smooth and stress-free. Here are the basics:

  • Driver’s License – required for test drives and paperwork.

  • Proof of Insurance – needed before you can finalize a purchase.

  • Payment Method – whether that’s a down payment or full purchase funds.

  • Trade-In Items (if applicable) – such as your title, keys, and any essential documents.

Having these ready will save you time and keep the process moving quickly.

We're Here To Help

Buying your first used car doesn’t have to be intimidating. By setting a budget, researching your options, understanding financing, and bringing the right documents, you’ll be well-prepared to find the vehicle that fits your life.

Start browsing our used car inventory, test out numbers with our loan calculator, and when you’re ready, apply for financing online. We’ll be here to help you every step of the way.

Why Winter Driving Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful

Stuck Again?

Do you find yourself worrying if your car will hold up through another winter?

The Pain of Getting Stuck

  • Turning the key on a freezing morning and hearing only clicks.

  • Spinning your tires in the snow while traffic piles up behind you.

  • Sitting on the side of the road in the cold, waiting for a tow truck that feels like it will never arrive.

These aren’t just inconveniences, they can be real safety risks. And if your car is already older or showing signs of wear, winter only makes those problems worse.

How Winter Wears Down Your Car

  • Dead Batteries: Cold weather zaps power fast.

  • Slippery Tires: Worn tread means poor traction when you need it most.

  • Frozen Doors & Windows: Makes even quick trips stressful.

  • Rust & Salt Damage: Eats away at your car’s body and undercarriage.

  • Breakdowns at the Worst Time: Cold engines and icy roads increase the odds of being stranded.

Steps to Avoid Getting Stuck This Season

  1. Test your battery before the first cold snap.

  2. Switch to winter tires for maximum grip.

  3. Keep your gas tank at least half full to prevent fuel line freeze-ups.

  4. Wash your car often to clear away salt and slush.

  5. Carry an emergency kit with a blanket, flashlight, and shovel.

  6. Wax your paint and underbody for extra protection against corrosion.

When the Worry Isn’t Worth It

If you’re constantly asking yourself:

  • “Will my car start this morning?”

  • “What if I break down on my way to work?”

  • “How much longer can I keep putting money into this car?”

…it might be time to stop worrying and start fresh.

That's why we take the stress out of upgrading:

Winter Driving Doesn’t Have to Be a Gamble

Don’t let another season of worry, breakdowns, and “what ifs” leave you stranded. Come see us, and let’s get you into a car that makes winter driving safe, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

How SUVs Have Evolved from Utility to Luxury

Comfort, Capability, and Beyond

When the first SUVs rolled onto the scene decades ago, they weren’t built to turn heads. They were built to work hard. Farmers used them in the fields. Adventurers trusted them to get down muddy trails. Families packed them up for camping trips. These vehicles were simple, tough, and designed with one purpose in mind: utility.

Fast-forward to today, and the SUV is almost unrecognizable. Step into a modern SUV, and you’re greeted with leather-trimmed interiors, panoramic sunroofs, cutting-edge tech, and even massaging seats. Somewhere along the way, the SUV went from being a tool to being a statement — from rugged practicality to rolling luxury suites on wheels.

The Early Days: All About Capability

In their early years, SUVs were known for four-wheel drive, strong towing power, and rugged frames. Comfort was secondary. They were vehicles you didn’t mind getting dirty, because that’s exactly what they were made for.

Families Changed Everything

By the 90s, a shift started happening. Families began trading in their minivans for SUVs that offered extra space, safety, and versatility. Suddenly, the SUV wasn’t just about off-road adventures — it was about road trips, school drop-offs, and everyday life. Automakers responded by making SUVs more comfortable and easier to drive, while still keeping their power.

The Luxury Boom

Then came the turning point: luxury automakers entered the SUV market. Suddenly, you could get premium sound systems, plush interiors, and advanced technology all wrapped in the practical SUV package. An SUV wasn’t just a family hauler anymore — it became a status symbol.

Today: The Best of Both Worlds

Now, SUVs sit at the top of the automotive world. Whether you want something that can handle the mountains, sip fuel efficiently, or rival a luxury sedan in comfort, there’s an SUV out there for you. Features like hands-free driving aids, huge touchscreens, heated steering wheels, and hybrid or electric options make them more appealing than ever.

At our dealership, we see it every day — shoppers who want the strength and space of an SUV, but also the comfort and style of a luxury car. Today’s SUVs let you have it all.

The Road Ahead

The future of SUVs is only getting brighter. With more electric SUVs, smarter technology, and sustainable design, they’ll continue to evolve in ways that surprise us. But one thing hasn’t changed: the SUV still promises versatility, whether you’re headed to the mountains, across the city, or just around the corner.

Ready for Your Next Car?

The SUV’s journey from rugged utility to refined luxury shows just how far the automotive world has come. And no matter what kind of SUV you’re looking for — something adventurous, something family-friendly, or something downright luxurious — there’s never been a better time to find one.

Ready to experience the evolution of SUVs for yourself?

  • Thinking about upgrading? Value your trade and see how easy it is to get behind the wheel of your next SUV.

Weird Car Laws & Car Buying Don’t Get Fooled

Weird Car Laws & Car Buying: Don’t Get Fooled

Strange But True: Quirky Driving Laws

Every state has its fair share of driving rules, but some are just plain head-scratchers. Believe it or not, these quirky laws are real and still on the books today:

  • Connecticut – It’s illegal to hunt from your car (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 26-74).

  • Maine (South Berwick) – You can’t park directly in front of Dunkin’ Donuts (South Berwick Traffic Ordinance, Parking Schedule, Main St.).

  • New Jersey – You’re supposed to honk your horn before passing another vehicle outside of business districts (N.J.S.A. 39:4-85).

  • Oregon – You can’t leave your car door open longer than necessary (ORS § 811.490).

  • South Carolina – Horse-drawn buggies must have lights and reflectors at night (S.C. Code § 56-5-4650).

  • Delaware (Rehoboth Beach) – It’s illegal to disrobe or change clothes inside a car on a public street (Rehoboth Beach City Code § 198-14).

  • Kansas (Wichita) – No squealing your tires or “exhibition of speed” (Wichita Code § 11.04.100).

  • Georgia (City of Dublin) – Motor vehicles are prohibited inside parks and playgrounds (Dublin Code § 58-1).

  • Alaska (Anchorage) – You can’t transport animals tied to the outside of a vehicle (Anchorage Municipal Code § 9.36.150).

These may sound silly, but they’re legitimate laws meant to keep order (or at least they once were).

Quick note: This isn’t legal advice — we’re just here for the laughs (and to sell you safe, reliable cars).

If It Sounds Too Good to Be True...

These oddball laws teach us something important: you can’t always believe what you hear. Some so-called “laws” you’ll see online are just myths.

Take these for example:

  • Virginia Barefoot Driving – Totally legal! Despite the myth, there’s no ban on driving without shoes.

  • Alabama Blindfold Driving – Sounds crazy, but no such statute exists.

They’re funny stories, but they don’t hold up when you look at the real code.

And it’s the same when you’re shopping for cars online. That Craigslist special with low mileage and a rock-bottom price? Or that Facebook Marketplace ad that looks just a little too good? Sometimes those “deals” don’t hold up either.

The Risks of 3rd-Party Sellers

When you buy from an unlicensed private seller, you face real risks:

  • No warranty or protection if something breaks down.

  • Misrepresented mileage or accident history.

  • Questionable title status.

  • Zero accountability if things go wrong.

It’s a bit like believing one of those wild myths: funny at first glance, but costly once reality hits.

Why Dealerships Are Different

Licensed dealerships don’t operate on myths. By law, they must:

  • Hold proper state licenses.

  • Follow consumer protection codes.

  • Disclose accurate info about every car (VIN, odometer, recalls).

  • Stand behind what they sell.

That means the car you drive home isn’t hiding skeletons in the glove box.

So, while we can’t keep you out of trouble for squealing your tires in Wichita, we can keep you out of trouble when it comes to buying your next vehicle.

Do your research, know the facts, and when you’re ready, come see us. We’ll help you find a car you can trust, no weird laws required.

Is The Model T Coming Back

Not Exactly! But Ford’s New “Model T Moment” Is Almost Here 

Back in 1908, the Ford Model T didn’t just make history, it made driving possible for the average American. It was simple, reliable, and most importantly, affordable. Now, more than a century later, Ford says it’s ready to do something like that again.

On August 11, 2025, Ford plans to reveal a brand-new electric vehicle platform. They're calling it their next “Model T Moment.” And while the details are sparse, their goal is clear: build an EV that’s practical, built to scale, and most importantly priced for everyday drivers.

Then vs. Now Why Price Still Matters

When the Model T first rolled out, it sold for around $825 roughly $27,000 in today’s dollars. But as production got more efficient, Ford brought the price down to just $360, or about $10,000–11,000 today. That’s what helped put a car in nearly every driveway.

Modern electric vehicles haven’t had that kind of price drop at least not yet. The Nissan Leaf hit the market in 2010 for around $33,000. Tesla’s Model S launched at over $57,000, and even the “affordable” Model 3 rarely stayed close to its advertised $35,000 price once options and availability came into play.

Today, most EVs still land between $45,000 and $60,000. That puts a lot of people on the sidelines. And that’s exactly what Ford’s trying to change.

A Different Kind of Breakthrough

When Ford introduced the assembly line, it changed how cars were built and who could afford one. The process was faster, simpler, and more cost-effective, which meant lower prices without cutting corners. That same thinking is behind this new EV platform. Ford’s aiming to simplify how electric vehicles are designed, engineered, and assembled cutting down on complexity to bring costs down, too. The result could be more affordable cars that are easier to build, own, and maintain.

The Big Announcement

Ford says they’ll share the full details on August 11, but from the early reports, they’re building an electric vehicle designed to start at around $25,000, with working families and everyday drivers in mind. And that timing couldn’t be better. With the cost of living up, loan rates higher, and most EVs still priced out of reach, there’s a real need for something more accessible. A $25K EV that’s practical and reliable? That could be a game-changer.

No Model T's In Stock, Just Today's Best Value For Your Money

Like the people we serve, we’re always looking for ways to stretch a dollar and still drive something dependable. That’s why we make it a priority to keep a variety of vehicles in stock that offer real value options that make sense for your needs, your family, and your budget.

If you’re starting to explore your options or just want to see what’s available right now, you can always check out our latest inventory. Whether you’re after something efficient, roomy, or just solid transportation at a fair price, we’re here to help you find it.
