Why Lease a Heavy-Duty Truck vs. Buying?
Why Lease a Heavy-Duty Truck vs. Buying?
Many of our commercial and retail customers associate leasing with sedans or light-duty SUVs, assuming that heavy-duty trucks must be purchased. However, leasing a Ram 2500 offers distinct financial advantages, particularly for businesses operating in Central Wisconsin.
Leasing allows you to cycle your fleet every few years. This means your team is always driving trucks with the latest towing technology, safety features, and fresh warranties. You avoid the maintenance costs that inevitably pile up on high-mileage work trucks once they leave their warranty period. Furthermore, for many business owners, a lease payment can be written off as a business expense, potentially offering better cash flow management than a traditional auto loan.
Engineering That Handles the Hard Work
The Ram 2500 is a staple in our inventory because it balances grit with refinement. Whether you are hauling equipment to a site near the Wisconsin River or towing a camper for a weekend away, the powertrain options define this truck's character.
- Towing Capability: With available auto-level rear air suspension, the Ram 2500 adapts to shifting loads, ensuring your trailer remains stable even on uneven rural roads.
- Engine Options: From the legendary Cummins® Turbo Diesel engines known for massive torque to the robust gas-powered HEMI® V8 options, these trucks are built to move heavy metal.
- Interior Functionality: The cabin doubles as a mobile office. With available 115-volt outlets, ample center console storage for laptops, and connectivity features, you can file invoices or check weather reports without leaving the driver's seat.
