Saturday shoppers usually come in with a real-world question, not a spreadsheet: what can I buy today that actually fits my life and my budget? This weekend at A&W Auto Truck Wholesalers in Lodi, three current, price-confirmed vehicles answer that question in very different ways. There is a 2022 Kia Telluride SX AWD for families who want a larger SUV feel, a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD Double Cab LT for truck buyers watching the budget, and a 2014 Hyundai Tucson AWD SE for shoppers who need affordable all-weather SUV value.

2022 Kia Telluride SX AWD: newer family-size SUV value

The 2022 Kia Telluride SX AWD is listed at $24,997 with 84,597 miles. The listing shows Everlasting Silver paint, AWD, a Sport Utility body style, and a 3.8-liter V6 engine. For Bergen County and Passaic County buyers, the Telluride is the option to start with if the shopping list includes a larger SUV, newer model year, and a more substantial daily-driver feel than a small crossover.

The value angle is straightforward: it gives shoppers a current-generation family SUV without stepping into new-SUV pricing. For a Lodi, Hackensack, Garfield, or Route 46 buyer comparing used SUVs on a Saturday, that matters. The mileage is visible in the listing, the price is clear, and AWD gives it the drivetrain shoppers often ask about when they want one vehicle for school runs, errands, commuting, and weekend driving.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD Double Cab LT: useful truck money

The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is listed at $14,997 with 99,380 miles. The trim is 4WD Double Cab 143.5" LT w/1LT, with a black exterior, Pickup Truck body style, 4WD, and a 4.3-liter V6 engine. This is the practical truck choice in the group: not a luxury angle, not a towing-claim angle, just a 4WD pickup under $15,000 from the current listing.

That price point is the reason it deserves attention. Many North Jersey truck shoppers want something that can handle workday errands, home-project runs, weekend use, and bad-weather days without pushing into newer-truck payments. The right way to look at this Silverado is simple: confirm the fit, inspect it in person, drive it, and decide whether the Double Cab/4WD setup matches how you actually use a truck.

2014 Hyundai Tucson AWD SE: budget AWD SUV under $7,000

The 2014 Hyundai Tucson AWD SE is listed at $6,975 with 108,130 miles. The listing shows gray exterior color, AWD, Sport Utility body style, and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. For buyers trying to keep the budget tight, this Tucson is the most price-sensitive option in the trio.

Budget SUV shopping should be practical, not emotional. A vehicle under $7,000 deserves a careful look at tires, brakes, service history, interior fit, and how it feels on a test drive. But for shoppers around Lodi, Passaic, Hackensack, and Fair Lawn who want AWD and SUV usefulness at a lower number, this Tucson is worth putting on the list.

How to choose between them

Start with the job you need the vehicle to do. If your priority is a newer, larger AWD SUV, the Telluride is the lead. If you need a pickup and want to stay under $15,000, the Silverado is the practical truck conversation. If the budget matters most and AWD SUV utility is still important, the Tucson is the value play.

All three are current inventory items with non-zero prices in the feed. Availability can change quickly, especially on Saturday, so call first or stop by A&W Auto Truck Wholesalers at 23 US-46 West in Lodi, NJ to verify the vehicle is still here before you make the trip.
