Pickup truck rentals are great for moving different types of loads over short to medium distances. They have been used to haul many items, including cargo, and are very versatile. This is why they are so popular to rent and why so many rental companies now have them in stock.

The company you choose for your truck will depend on your individual requirements, and there are a few different services available when it comes to renting your truck. For example, most rental companies will offer a do-it-yourself type service where you load and drive the truck. However, other services will come complete with a driver and people who can help you load up your things. Whilst this may cost more, it could also make your pickup truck rental much easier!

Most truck rental companies offer accessories to go with your pickup truck. However, you may also find that you need to pay extra depending on your needs. For example, you might decide to rent straps to tie down your things in the truck, loading ramps and so on - all of which cost more but can make moving loads much easier. Lastly, you will need to choose a service that offers a truck of the right size and that can carry as much weight as you need it to.

There are many truck rental services out there so it is a good idea to get as many quotes as possible. In most cases it is best to find and individual pickup truck rental service that suits your needs, even if this will cost you a little bit more in the long run.

Ford Gives Ranger Pickup Truck a Makeover

First introduced in 1983, the Ford Ranger has faithfully served as that automaker's compact pickup truck, replacing the Mazda-made Courier which Ford had used since 1972. Today, the truck is still a compact unlike some of its competitors which have been updated and grown in size. That has worked to Ford's advantage as the Ranger has the best fuel economy of any truck in its class.

The major drawback for the Ranger is that it hasn't been updated in ages. While the bigger F-Series line routinely is redone every five years, the current generation Ranger has been virtually unchanged since rolled out as a 1998 model. Though Ford isn't planning to roll out an all-new model just yet, the automaker is making some important changes to the 2010 Ranger, updates which will be included with the model when it becomes available in Ford showrooms beginning later this summer.

The two most notable changes for the 2010 Ford Ranger will be:

• AdvanceTrac(R) with RSC(R) (Roll Stability Control) -- that helps prevent skidding and dangerous rollover conditions

• The new 2010 Ranger also adds new combination side air bags - offered standard - designed for head and torso protection

Powered by a 2.3 I4 engine, the Ranger gets class leading fuel economy of 26 mpg on the highway. However, the new safety features is something that should interest buyers the most, bringing the Ranger up to the same standards as its competitors.

"The 2010 Ranger's Roll Stability Control and combination side air bag technologies will help occupants stay out of harm's way," said Steve Kozak, chief engineer of safety systems, Ford Motor Company. "The Ranger has been America's most fuel-efficient pickup, and now it features a combination of safety features not offered in any other small pickup."

The Ranger also offers safety and security equipment such as Ford's Personal Safety System, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and SecuriLock passive anti-theft system, all three are included as standard equipment on every Ranger model.

Ford has plans to eventually replace the Ranger, but the interim these updates make the truck more appealing and therefore more salable. Prices have yet to be set, but the Ranger will likely continue to be one of the best priced trucks on the market.

I am trying to approximate a 5-year cost to own a used pickup truck?

I want to buy a pickup truck for about a 1999 pickup for around $6,000 that will just be used for hauling items about 25/miles per week. I am trying to figure out how much it will end up costing year by year in terms of depreciation, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. I want to do this so I can figure out how much I will be spending over the course of 5 years including the initial purchase plus everything else for 5 years.

payment, insurance, maintenance fees, miscellanious(fluids&such), and add them all up. There are 12 months in a year so divide by 12. Then for 5 years divide again by 5 to get your monthly pay cost. If you just want annual, add up all figures and divide by 5. (if you only have insurance quote on a monthly quote, multiply by 12 then add to total before dividing by 5). It's a fairly simple math equation. For your maintenance fees include pricing for oil changes and any other "hired out" work that will be done in the coarse of one year. For the miscellaneous fund you will have washer fluid, brake fluid(if not done at shop), anti freeze, wind shield wipers, etc. Get an estimated yearly replacement on these items and go from there. Hope this helps!
