Tips for Choosing the Best Truck for Farming

Ford Towing Capacity

Consider Towing Capacity

Figure out how much weight you need to pull to be sure your truck is strong enough for your heaviest loads.

Fuel Icon

Strong Fuel Economy

Pick trucks with special gas-saving features like Ford’s EcoBoost engines to save money during busy farming times.

Movement Icon Ford

Ground Clearance & Durability

Choose farm trucks that sit high enough off the ground and are built tough to handle bumpy fields and rough farm conditions.

Ford Truck Bed

Truck Bed/Trailer Options

Look carefully at the truck bed size, the weight it can safely carry, and the available towing packages to make sure they match what you need to move around your farm.

How to Choose a Farming Truck

Finding the right truck for your farm starts with looking closely at what your farm needs, like how much load you usually carry, what kind of land you drive on, and how you’ll use the truck every day. Think about both what you need now and what you might need later, since your farm truck should be something that helps your farm work well for many years.

Look at all the costs of owning the truck, like how much gas it uses, how much it costs to maintain, and how much you could sell it for later, not just the price tag when you buy it. Take the truck for several test drives to see how different engines, gear shifts, and special features work in real farm situations.

Work with a dealership, like Vern Eide Ford, that really understand the needs of farmers and can help you pick out a truck that’s set up just right for operation
