Questions To Ask When Buying Your Next Truck

Knowing the right questions to ask when buying your next truck is the first, most important step toward locating a reliable, long-lasting vehicle for your company.
The staff at Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso can help you answer those questions.
Our knowledgeable professionals understand the economics of today’s transportation industry. We also know that your company’s particular needs are a major consideration when shopping for a truck, because your vehicle could be your most valuable asset.

Determine Price and Function before Beginning the Search

Here are the basic questions to ask when buying your next truck:

  • How much do you wish to spend? Several factors determine your budget, including the options you need or want, and whether leasing instead of purchasing is a consideration. Your Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso representative can help you set reasonable financial parameters before you begin looking. Our dealership has a sizable inventory of trucks at our disposal, and we offer competitive prices on all our new vehicles.
  • What do you plan to haul? Your new truck must have the capacity to carry the cargo you most commonly haul. A flatbed truck, for example, is preferable over an enclosed vehicle such as a box truck for transporting large, bulky items, or loaded pallets. 
  • How will stock be loaded and unloaded? If you use forklifts to handle cargo, a truck with strong, durable floors is required. You should install liftgates if loading or unloading occurs on the street rather than at a loading dock. Convenient door locations are also important. 
  • Will the vehicle have multiple uses? Choosing appropriate options, such as lift gates, load bars or tie rings, can double the usefulness of your new truck. Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso’s service department often customizes our clients’ vehicles for added practicality. 

Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso provides sales, rentals and service for trucking companies in San Jose and neighboring communities.
