The 2021 Ram 3500 Tradesman and 2020 Ford F350 XL are heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles can handle large trailers and weighty payloads, but they can be challenging to steer in tight spaces. Which of the two pickups is easier to control? Â

The 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie and GMC Sierra Denali HD are heavy-duty trucks that can handle most hauling tasks with ease. If you often carry a full payload in the pickup bed, the maximum capacity will be a very important figure. How do these two vehicles compare in this area? Â

Which Truck Offers Better Safety Features in St. Paul, AB?: 2021 RAM 1500 or 2021 Chevrolet Silverado

(Posted on Mar 29, 2021 at 02:54PM by Laurel Steele)
Accidents can happen, whatever the driving environment. That’s why discerning truck owners expect the best in safety ratings and technology. Offering a myriad of advanced driver assist features, the 2021 RAM 1500 is ready for anything. Its competitor, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado, doesn’t provide the same performance or economical options.The RAM’s Advanced Safety Group package is available for the two base models and standard on all higher trims (Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Longhorn, and Limited). This comprehensive suite of security features includes Blind-Spot Monitoring, Park-Sense, Rear-Cross-Path Alert, Trailer Detection, and more.
Chevy Silverado drivers who expect this technology should prepare to cough up some cash, as all of these systems require investment in costly safety packages, which are only available on the top few trim levels.
The sticklers at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the RAM 1500 a Top Pick thanks to its top ratings in every test category, including a 'superior' distinction for vehicle-to-vehicle crash prevention. The Silverado, however, did not fair as well, receiving multiple ‘marginal’ results from the IIHS.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee VS 2021 Ford Explorer in St. Paul, AB
Tags:
(Posted on Mar 24, 2021 at 08:50PM by Laurel Steele)
Both the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2021 Ford Explorer have proven themselves to be capable people haulers in everyday driving environments. However, for consumers seeking some adventure in addition to their weekly errands, the first SUV is the clear choice.For general driving around town and on the highway, the Grand Cherokee provides 8.3-in of ground clearance, perfect for taking on minor bumps and potholes. When the time comes for cargo loading and passenger ingress/egress, it can drop to an accessible 6.5-in.
Ever-prepared for a bit of off-roading, the Jeep can boost its ground clearance up to 10.9-in, making it easier and more exciting to tackle rougher terrain and sharp corners.
As for the Explorer? Drivers are stuck with a fixed 8.2-in ground clearance, not suitable for much more than traversing flat roads.
