Trucks For College Students and Recent Grads | Columbus, MS

Whether you’re starting classes at Mississippi State University or celebrating your recent graduation, consider a pickup truck for your next ride. A pickup will provide you with safe, practical and durable transportation for whatever your journey throws at you.

Trucks Are Practical

When you buy a pickup, you’re buying a vehicle that’s specifically designed to haul cargo, tow trailers, and tackle other heavy jobs. When you own a truck, it’s easy to carry furniture and boxes when you move to a new apartment or dorm — or pitch in and help your friends do the same. If you’re looking to earn a little money on the side, you could also use your truck to make pickups and deliveries, transport landscaping equipment and materials, or haul away unwanted junk.

Trucks Are Safe

Thanks to their strength, size, and good visibility, trucks typically offer an elevated level of safety. When you buy a modern pickup like the Chevrolet Colorado or the RAM 1500, you’ll also enjoy the protection of sophisticated air-bag systems and technologies that enhance stability and traction. Some models even offer the latest driver-assist tech to help you avoid collisions, monitor your blind spot, and park safely.

Trucks Are Fun

If you enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, or boating, a truck is the perfect vehicle choice to haul your gear and handle back roads with ease. Many truck models are equipped with four-wheel drive and other off-road gear — ideal if you’re tackling dirt trails or rocky terrain. If you choose a pickup with an extended cab or crew cab, you can even bring along a group of friends.

Trucks Hold Their Value

When you buy a truck, you can feel confident that your purchase will also be a solid investment. Today’s pickup models are built to last, with durable construction and rugged features that hold up through years of hard work. Pickups typically boast strong resale value, too — so you’re more likely to come out ahead financially when you eventually sell or trade in your ride.
