Once mainly associated with construction sites, pickups are now gaining popularity among a wide range of audiences. In fact, several trucks rank in the top 5 best-selling vehicles in Quebec, highlighting their appeal! Still hesitant to buy a pickup? We’ll explain why this choice might be right for you.
Remarkable versatility
Versatility is probably the number one quality that drives many Quebecers to choose a pickup. After all, who do you call when you need to move or transport a new desk found on Marketplace? Whether it’s for transporting construction materials, furniture, or camping gear, the pickup truck never lets you down.
The cargo bed offers considerable advantage for transporting items of various sizes and lengths. Moreover, you have the option to choose a length that suits your needs! The cargo bed and cabin options easily adapt to your reality, whether you’re transporting more equipment, more people… or both.
Various storage solutions are also available for your personal items and tools, depending on the model chosen. With a model like the popular RAM 1500, you also benefit from deliverable features like the ingenious RamBox storage system, 110-volt outlets that work when the truck is off, and more.
Power and towing capacity
If you need to tow a trailer, a boat, or a loaded trailer, the pickup is an obvious choice. Depending on their configuration, full-size trucks offer up to just over 10,000 lb of towing capacity. They thus offer far more muscle than most SUVs on the market.
For those who need even more capabilities, there are also HD (Heavy Duty) options like the RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. The towing capacity can exceed 35,000 lb!
Equipped with powerful engines and high torque, trucks are ideal for transporting heavy loads with confidence, while also enhancing your driving pleasure.
And what about fuel consumption? Thanks to the latest technologies like mild hybridization or electrified vehicles, it’s possible to enjoy significantly reduced consumption, or even zero-emission driving.
The Ramcharger and RAM 1500 REV are particularly interesting options for those concerned about fuel costs!

A vehicle always ready for adventure
If you dream of escape, the pickup is your ideal partner. Of course, you’ll first need to ensure you choose a model equipped with a 4×4 system. Several trucks, like the RAM 1500 and Jeep Gladiator, offer four-wheel drive as standard.
In any case, a 4×4 truck will provide you with the necessary capabilities to tackle all conditions: mud, rocks, sand, and, of course, snow. Whether you’re heading for a weekend in the Laurentians or a road trip to Gaspesie, it’s ready for all road conditions.
But the advantages of a pickup go far beyond transportation! The cargo bed can serve to set up a tent, power your radio, or your electric cooler, and more. And for those seeking a unique experience, the Jeep Gladiator is the perfect model with its removable doors and open-air roof design.
Depending on your needs, turn to a version specialized in off-road driving and enjoy additional driving modes and protections. The pickup truck opens up a world of possibilities!
A winter ally
Driving in winter is one of the reasons SUVs are so popular in the Quebec landscape. However, trucks offer just as much confidence, and even more! Thanks to their all-wheel drive system and increased ground clearance, they can overcome snow banks without difficulty.
Moreover, most pickups offer specific driving modes for snow and ice, allowing automatic adjustment of driving parameters. You thus enjoy reassuring stability in all conditions!
Finally, interior options like heated seats (front and even rear) and remote start offer you a cozy comfort nest when the mercury drops to its lowest.

Today’s trucks: comfort and technologies
Forget the image of the rustic and uncomfortable pickup! Some current models, notably RAM trucks, rival luxury cars in terms of comfort and refinement. Sound insulation is designed to create a quiet environment, even at high speeds. Air suspension and reinforced shock absorbers also contribute to on-board well-being.
This is without forgetting the many deliverable features on board. Leather seats with multiple power controls, automatic air-conditioning, premium finishes: recent models compete to offer ever more, much to the delight of consumers.
In addition, you can enjoy cutting-edge technologies such as:
- An intuitive infotainment system
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
- Integrated navigation
- Sophisticated sound systems
- Wireless charging
- And much more!
More safety and ease
Like infotainment technologies, safety features are also enhanced in newer models to help you drive with confidence. Thus, driving a pickup becomes a breeze, even for novices! Modern technologies today include automatic braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure alerts, smart cruise control, and many other features.
Moreover, towing becomes surprisingly simple with modern technologies, which assist you both in hitching and driving with a trailer. The guiding lines on the central screen make the task easy for both regulars and beginners. Furthermore, multiple cameras and parking assistance systems will help you park your vehicle, no matter how large it is.
Highly customizable vehicles!!
Finally, pickup trucks rank among the most versatile on the market due to their configuration options, extensive range of trims, and numerous available accessories. Thus, whether you are a worker, a family, or a couple of adventurers, there is surely the perfect pickup for your lifestyle.
Will you opt for the exceptional comfort of a RAM truck? Or for the unique design and off-road capabilities of a Jeep Gladiator? Whatever your choice, the Duclos Laval Chrysler team will help you get the truck of your dreams with flexible financing and advantageous promotions.
