Sell Your Truck
Fast, Safe & Easy

Have you heard all the buzz going around about 5G wireless networks? It boasts faster data speeds for smartphones and laptops, which is what you’d expected, right? Then there’s a load of devices that will undoubtedly benefit from this new technology’s fast connection ability. Tomorrow’s trucks are on the path to connect to devices faster, safer, and more efficiently. 5G will change your truck’s future... and yours. Just what does this mean for truck advances coming? Well first of all, it means we cannot wait to buy our first one! There’s an art to what we do, we buy trucks fast, safe, and easy so you can sell your truck quick with barely lifting a finger. You can get an instant cash offer as easy as that too.

Major U.S. carriers are set to activate their own 5G wireless network in 2019. Devices that exist already next year, along with their next generation devices, will come equipped with 5G and all its benefits. What does this mean for future truck technology? Well, it’s a few years off yet, but before we know it the technology similar to what you see on smartphones will be implemented into trucks too.

Taking the Web on a Road Trip – every time you drive it

Today modern trucks are equipped with local area Wi-Fi hotspot features of some sort that passengers can plug into a port or Bluetooth into a 4G LTE system and share their Wi-Fi with others riding along. Up until now LTE has been the fastest, but soon 5G will be in town and 4G will replace 3G as the “new slow”.

5G’s speed and bandwidth will increase so much so that everyone in a truck’s backseat will be able to connect to Wi-Fi and stream whatever they want without affecting the other passengers. That is pretty exciting.

Dashboards will feature K-Byte and M-Bytes in a massive screen connecting to the Internet with 5G speed! This means truck manufacturers will be able to give you much more for your buck with the extra bandwidth. You’re looking at getting more information at your fingertips, or rather voice command, and there will be richer media.

There are benefits all around for the consumer and the manufacturer by connecting a truck to 5G. You’ll get more things you probably didn’t realize “that’s a must” and the manufacturer will be able to collect more data to invent newer and better technologies for you. The rumor is that 5G is to be ridiculously quick, even instantaneous, so you can say goodbye to lag times.

Autonomy trucks are already on the road in some states feverishly being tested. It’s just a matter of time before we’re all states ok them. 5G connectivity can only make them safer, right? Especially since the time it takes for an autonomous truck to react to its environment is important for safety.

The electric truck (like the Workhorse W-15 coming in 2019) will be a connected truck and let’s face it, electric is the future for many vehicles; so whether the truck is gasoline powered or a plug and charge it up, Internet will definitely be a feature. The days of needing a smartphone to locate a charging station will be ancient.

Of course, where a person lives can greatly decrease or increase the chances of vehicle theft, and just because you live in one of the cities listed doesn’t mean your truck will be stolen, not that your city is a poor community or a have a high rate of crime. All 50 cities, for the majority, have low poverty rates, higher education levels, and compared to figures statewide, have higher household income levels. Whatever the reason, certain metropolitan cities were targets for crime rings.

More than not, auto thefts in the U.S. are a well thought out planned schemes and highly lucrative. According to the NICB, large crime rings are usually the culprits operating in larger cities.

One might think exotics and other expensive vehicles are the target for these criminals, but the Dodge Mini Van made the list along with Chevrolets, Ford pickup trucks, and Honda Civics and Accords. The common denominators were those not having modern security that newer models are equipped with.

Twenty-nine metropolitan cities out of the fifty – that is over half the cities in the Continental U.S. – report pickup trucks as the targeted truck thefts in 2017.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau’s “2017 Hot Spots Vehicle Theft” report of every statistical metropolitan city area in each state was reviewed by 24/7 Wall St., and it is  clear, Chevrolets and Ford pickup trucks, along with Honda Civics and Accords hold the record for the vehicles of choice for crime rings. Honestly, it doesn’t matter where you live; you can be a truck theft victim. In every single city in every single state on this list – where you live – there are criminals plotting and planning at this very moment to take your truck away from you for their profit. So if you live in one of the cities, there’s a good chance of your truck being stolen right out from under you. Act now! Take that FOR SALE sign out of the window! Fill out our short form for a HIGH INSTANT CASH OFFER and sell your truck quick to us today. We buy trucks FAST, SAFE, and EASY – you don’t even have to leave your couch. Get started now and it’s possible you’ll have cash in your bank in as little as two days.

We buy trucks and we’re great at it. We have a patent pending formula that streamlines our process and quotes you the highest instant cash offer you’ll get anywhere else. There’s something else we prioritize around here; information and we’ve got some good stuff for you today. Even though we don’t like saying this, we’re going to anyway. You may have been driving wrong for years. Actually, we’re all guilty of these bad habits (yes, even us!) and we all need to make some new good safety habits. Although we’re in the business to get you to sell your truck to us by quoting you a high instant cash offer, we also have your wellbeing on our minds too. We know our bottom-line doesn’t come first, your safety does. The list below shows you six mistakes every pickup driver makes on the road and how to fix them.

#1 – Not Engaging the Parking Brake On rucks with Automatics Transmissions

Whether you’ve thought about it or not, the parking brake is not only for standard transmissions; it’s also an important and “handy peace of mind” feature. Use it to take stress off your heavy truck’s transmission; and regardless if your transmission is an automatic or standard, this is a good habit to call your own.

#2 – Used Incorrectly – Ventilation Recirculation Button Can Drastically Slow Down De-Fogging the Windows

When it’s really cold outside, you know, like in the winter months, don’t press this button. It will add extra time taking it longer to de-fog your windows. (In hotter months, feel free to press the button and your truck’s air conditioner will cool the cabin quicker.)

#3 – Not Using Those Cool Mounted Shortcut Buttons On the Steering-Wheel

Do you think convenience was the first thing on the invertor’s mind? No, it was safety. Cool and convenient came along for the ride. Making a conscious effort to gain a new habit is smart!

#4 – Ignoring Or Not Accepting the Fact A Blind Spot Really Does Exist On Your Truck OR You’re In Another Drivers Blind Spot!

OFTEN we drivers don’t pay attention to this at all or at least not often enough. When did this habit happen? So many people don’t even acknowledge it. So many times drivers have started easing over into a lane when there is clearly a vehicle present. NOT GOOD!

It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting still in traffic or driving down the road, this can be a perilous situation and can lead to an accident, injury, or worse. It’s really up to you to be on the defense here and stay alert. If you need to fall back a little to line up with the other drivers side view mirror range. Or if possible, continue past the vehicle so the driver knows you’re there. It could save a life.

#5 – Not Allowing 3-4 Feet of Space When In Traffic Between You and The Vehicle Directly In Front Of You

There’s no way to know when the vehicle in front of you will have trouble and get stuck. You may need room the room to go around it if so. Let’s not forget, sometimes drivers coming up from behind you may not stop on a dime either. Extra space in front of you will help you not get rammed into a vehicle ahead of you.

#6 – Not Checking Your Tires’ Tread

This may seem like something that shouldn’t make our list, but trust us it belongs here. Just take a look at the image above. Tire tread is often something people ignore. Most state laws require tires to be at a minimum of 2/23 of an inch deep of tread.

Use the “penny tire tread test” by putting a penny upside down with Abraham Lincoln facing you inside the groove of the treads. If you see his entire head, you need to purchase new tires.

Important to Remember – You MUST DO MORE than take a quick glance in your side view mirrors when checking if there’s no vehicle in YOUR BLIND SPOT! Your mirror most likely will NOT cover your blind spot.

In Conclusion

Even if you’re guilty of these six mistakes every pickup driver makes, it’s not too late to fix them and gain yourself so new healthy and safe ones. Get proactive out on the road and stay on guard, and if not all of these “are you”, give them some thought when you’re out driving next time. You might find you have more on your list than you realize. Don’t forget, we buy trucks and we’re always here when you want to sell your truck quick. To find out your truck worth, fill out our short form, then sit back, relax, and be prepared to be surprised at your high instant cash offer!
