Not every 4WD buyer is shopping for the same kind of vehicle. A contractor looking at a heavy-duty diesel pickup has different priorities than someone who wants a weekend 4x4, and a half-ton truck buyer may care more about price than maximum capability. AW Auto currently has four useful choices for Lodi and Bergen County shoppers to compare: a 2017 Ford Super Duty F-350 SRW, a 2019 Nissan Titan XD, a 2018 Ram 1500, and a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

2017 Ford Super Duty F-350 SRW: serious truck, high miles

The 2017 Ford Super Duty F-350 SRW Lariat 4WD Crew Cab 8' Box is listed at $30,679 with 209,792 miles. It is White, stock 89837N, with a 6.7L 8-cylinder engine and 4WD. The mileage is high, and that should be part of the conversation, not hidden. The reason to consider it is the heavy-duty truck category and the 4WD setup. A smart buyer should inspect it carefully, test drive it, and make sure the condition fits the job before getting attached to the price or badge.

2019 Nissan Titan XD: diesel 4x4 middle ground

The 2019 Nissan Titan XD 4x4 Diesel Crew Cab SL is listed at $24,005 with 95,084 miles. It is Cayenne Red Metallic, stock 89731N, with a 5.0L 8-cylinder engine and 4WD. This is the comparative middle lane: newer than the F-350, lower miles than the F-350, and still a pickup built for buyers who want more truck than a basic commuter. The Titan XD already has other pending content in the dashboard, so here it belongs as a comparison point rather than another standalone spotlight.

2018 Ram 1500: lower entry price for a 4x4 pickup

The 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4 Quad Cab 6'4" Box is listed at $15,044 with 129,458 miles. It is Blue, stock 89713N, with a 5.7L 8-cylinder engine and 4WD. This is the budget-sensitive truck in the group. If you want a 4x4 pickup for work errands, home projects, bad weather, and weekend use around Passaic or Hackensack, the Ram is the one to compare when the F-350 or Titan XD feels like more truck or more money than you need.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: 4x4 utility without being a pickup

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4x4 is listed at $17,997 with 105,464 miles. It is Sting-Gray Clearcoat, stock 89762N, with a 3.6L V6 engine and 4WD. This is not the pickup choice, but it is a useful 4x4 for someone who wants weekend flexibility, daily visibility, and a different personality than a work truck. For some buyers, a Wrangler makes more sense than a truck if they are not regularly carrying materials in a bed.

Match the vehicle to the work

If your job requires a heavy-duty pickup, start with the Ford F-350 and inspect it with the mileage in mind. If you want a diesel 4x4 pickup with fewer miles than the F-350, compare the Titan XD. If price matters most and a half-ton 4WD truck fits your use, look at the Ram 1500. If you want 4x4 utility but do not need a pickup bed, the Wrangler belongs on the list. Call AW Auto or stop by 23 US-46 West in Lodi to confirm what is still available before heading over.
