If you are shopping used AWD or 4WD vehicles around Lodi this weekend, the right choice depends less on the badge and more on the job you need the vehicle to do. A commuter sedan, a family SUV, a budget AWD crossover, and a 4WD pickup can all make sense for Bergen County roads, but they solve different problems. Here are four current A&W Auto picks worth comparing before you make the trip to Route 46.

2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium AWD: budget AWD utility

The 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium AWD is listed at $6,945 with 136,928 miles. It is a Marine Blue Pearl sport utility with an automatic transmission, gasoline 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, and AWD. This is the practical lane for someone who wants SUV usefulness and all-weather traction without stretching the budget. The mileage should be looked at honestly, but the price keeps it in the conversation for shoppers who need a daily driver for Lodi, Hackensack, Passaic, or Bergen County errands.

2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD: bigger SUV value

The 2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD is listed at $15,815 with 112,513 miles. It is a Becketts Black sport utility with an automatic transmission, gasoline 3.8L V6 engine, and AWD. The Palisade is the larger-SUV value play in this group. The smart buyer here is not ignoring the mileage; they are asking whether the size, model year, AWD, and price make sense compared with newer SUVs that can cost much more.

2015 INFINITI Q40 AWD: AWD without going SUV

The 2015 INFINITI Q40 AWD is listed at $8,023 with 123,919 miles. It is a Black Obsidian 4-door car with an automatic transmission, gasoline 3.7L V6 engine, and AWD. This is the pick for the shopper who does not actually need an SUV. If your week is mostly commuting, parking, Route 46 traffic, and local driving, an AWD sedan can be a cleaner answer than buying more vehicle than you use.

2012 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4WD Quad Cab: truck usefulness under $11k

The 2012 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4WD Quad Cab is listed at $10,970 with 151,416 miles. It is a Bright White pickup truck with an automatic transmission, gasoline 5.7L 8-cylinder engine, and 4WD. This one fits the A&W truck shopper: someone who wants a pickup for workdays, winter confidence, weekend projects, or general truck usefulness, without shopping in the newer-truck price range. As always with a truck at this mileage, condition and test drive matter.

How to choose before you come in

Start with the use case. Need a budget AWD SUV? Look at the Forester. Need more SUV for the money? Check the Palisade. Want AWD but prefer a sedan? The Q40 is the overlooked option. Need a 4WD pickup under about $11k? The Ram is the truck to inspect. All four are current active inventory at A&W Auto & Truck Wholesalers, 23 US-46 West in Lodi, NJ. Availability can change, so verify before you come in and compare the vehicle in person.
