Why Choose a Diesel Truck?

Whether you’re an independent contractor driver or a business owner, you may want to think about the value of switching from gas to diesel commercial trucks. Diesel trucks can improve work efficiency and reduce costs, so you save time and money by upgrading your vehicles. Draco Isuzu Truck Center in San Diego is your southern California diesel truck dealer. Read on to learn what makes these trucks so great!

Longevity

Diesel trucks last longer than gas trucks, because their engines have fewer moving parts. That includes a lack of spark plugs and fewer cylinders, so there is less to maintain and less that can break down over time. Your diesel engine can last you three times as long as a gas engine, in fact! That endurance is important if you’re regularly hauling and towing with your truck, since a diesel engine can better handle the stress of extra weight. You’ll also find that your diesel commercial truck holds more value over time, so if you come to a point where you want to sell it, you’ll be able to recoup more of your initial investment.

Fuel Efficiency

You may be worried about the rising costs of fuel if you’re in the trucking business. While the initial price of a diesel truck might be higher, the savings over time are well worth that cost. Diesel engines get much better fuel economy, so you’ll get more out of every gallon. While the fuel is more expensive, you’re going to get six to eight miles per gallon more than you do with your average gas engine, and the fuel won’t be wasted because the engines are more efficient.

High Performance

Searching for a truck that gives you superior performance? Then you definitely want to look into diesel medium-duty trucks. While you may not get as much horsepower, you’ll more than make up for that with the increase in hauling power. This is important regardless of whether you need to go across the city or across the state with your cargo. These vehicles are truly great at handling all of your heavy-duty work, thanks to their improved torque and high-compression cylinders.
