Queen City Motors and Queen City Motors Service Center were established by Christopher King to provide quality used vehicles and quality automotive services. Both companies are located in Springfield, Missouri. Through Queen City Motors, Christopher King offers buyers a choice of both cars and trucks.
For car owners who are contemplating buying a truck as well as truck owners who are thinking of buying a sedan, it is worthwhile to note some of the key differences between owning a truck and a car.
Looking at maneuverability, cars are more nimble than trucks, and feature a tighter turning radius. They are better for cramped urban environments.
Average fuel mileage for trucks is about 26 mpg, and for cars it is 34 mpg. This is because of the heavier build and larger engines of trucks.
Trucks have cargo beds and hauling capability. This kind of storage capability cannot be matched by a car. On the other hand, cars tend to have more space for people. This need to carry people can be alleviated by choosing a truck with an extended cab, but it will add to the vehicle’s cost.
Trucks can handle road conditions and off-road terrain that cars cannot, and are generally more ruggedly built. They are also typically better for harsh conditions like deep snow.
