THE PROS AND CONS OF LIFTED VS. REGULAR TRUCKS

If so, a lifted truck could be the ticket you need to show off your bold side and have a bit of fun in the meantime.

Here are several advantages you may expect as a lift truck owner:

  • Your truck cabin and bed get lifted higher than standard trucks. The lift doesn’t affect driving.

  • A half-inch lift can reduce tread wear and tear by 40 percent with a half-inch lift. The suspension and steering system changes to suit your new height, but the vehicle’s overall ride is not. This procedure makes the most of your mileage while reducing wear on delicate components like tires, shock absorbers, brakes, rotor sets, and automated gearboxes.

  • Suspension lifts can make a vehicle higher than a body kit of the same height, allowing for larger tires for use on or off road.

One significant advantage of lifted trucks is that they offer more ground clearance. So if you take your vehicle off-road or drive it in areas with challenging terrain, you’ll have an easier time getting through mud and uneven terrains. In addition, since the suspension is higher, drivers can put larger tires on lifted trucks for better traction and performance.

Towing is another lifted truck specialty, especially in trucks with powerful engines. Lifted trucks offer more control when hauling large items such as campers, boats, trailers, or cars.

Lifted Trucks Have A Striking Appearance

Some people might not care for the aggressive appearance of a lifted truck. If big and bold isn’t your thing, and the advantages of a lifted truck don’t appeal or apply to you, a standard truck might be a better pick for you.

Lifted trucks are often more expensive than their standard counterparts as it applies to price. Lift kits aren’t a factory standard, so the upgrade requires additional labor and parts.

So what’s the verdict? Ultimately, buying a lifted or standard truck comes down to personal preference. If you’re someone who adores taking their vehicle off-road or enjoys a good adventure, a lifted truck is likely the right choice. But if you’re currently looking for a more practical option that won’t stand out as much, a standard truck might be better for you.

Ultimately, using a lifted or regular truck depends on what you want or need from the vehicle, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Pre-lifted Trucks Save Time

If you’re ready to get into a lifted truck right away, buying one that already has the lift installed helps save time and hassle, especially if you need to drive it right away.

These vehicles already have lift kits installed, so you need to take a test drive, decide whether it’s right for you, and move on to the next step of the purchasing process.
