Trucks are a great option for Manitoba drivers — their height contributes to increased visibility in snowy and blustery weather conditions and their weight makes for easier, more controlled driving in winter months.

Top considerations when purchasing a truck in Manitoba
Before stepping foot inside a dealership, make sure you have solid answers to these questions:
- Usage – more than other vehicle types, trucks can be used for work, play, and as a standard family vehicle. Having a clear idea of how you plan on using your truck will help sales associates point you in the direction of a truck that’s right for you in terms of size, towing and hauling capabilities.
- New or used – this is a question that most families consider when upgrading their vehicle. There are benefits to both new and used vehicles and that’s why Birchwood dealerships offer both options through its online inventory.
- Bed size – bed sizes vary drastically on trucks so if you plan on using your new truck to carry heavy loads, you’ll want to first determine the size of the heaviest possible load you’ll need to carry and then ensure the truck models that interest you are able to accommodate that size.
- Passenger capacity – many trucks don’t have second-row seating and you’ll need to decide if you’re willing to give up the luxury of extra seating in exchange for a lower price point, better gas mileage, and a smaller frame.
- Engine size – this is an especially important decision for drivers considering a truck because engine sizes vary drastically on truck models and heavily influence the hauling capacity of the vehicle. If you have serious towing needs, you’ll absolutely want a full-sized truck with a bigger engine, but if your towing needs are minimal, you can probably get away with a smaller engine that will save you money on gas.

- GMC Sierra 1500 – the Sierra, similar to the Silverado in body and interior layout, sits at a higher price point compared to other trucks in its class because of its premium features and higher-end materials. It’s worth considering if you’re looking to turn heads!
- Ford F-150 – the F-150 is one of the most reputable names on the road and has a reputation for leading the industry in terms of towing and hauling capabilities. The 2020 model has been a top-seller in Manitoba and offers versions for all purposes, including work and off-road adventures
