The 2010 Nissan Frontier is a great off-road truck and has a high towing capacity. It’s also one of the most capable and dependable compact trucks around. Come to Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales to give it a test drive. Our sales team can help you find your perfect truck. We have the best selection of used trucks for sale in NH, but if we don’t have what you’re looking for, we’ll do our best to find it for you. Overview When it was new, reviewers praised the 2010 Nissan Frontier for its refined ride and smooth engine. The Frontier comes standard with a four-cylinder engine that’s great for daily driving. However, many reviewers suggested the available V6, especially if you need a truck for towing or hauling. The four-cylinder Frontier comes with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission with an optional automatic transmission. V6 models are available with rear- or four-wheel drive, as well as a manual or automatic transmission. The #Frontier can tow up to 6,500 pounds, which is a higher capacity than the Hummer H3T and Honda Ridgeline can tow. The 2010 Frontier is available as a four-seat King (extended) cab or a five-seat crew cab. Features on the base model include a stereo with CD player and an auxiliary input jack, air conditioning, power windows, door locks and mirrors, satellite radio, Bluetooth, leather seats and a power sunroof. Comparable Trucks The 2010 Dodge Dakota can tow more than most of its rivals when properly equipped. The Dakota crew cab also offers seating for up to six people, as well as an available V8 engine. The 2010 Toyota Tacoma features a high-quality interior and smooth ride. It also earned a better safety score than most trucks in the class. The Tacoma can tow just as much as the Frontier and it’s also available with a powerful V6 engine.

The arrival of Spring means summer’s hot temperatures aren’t far away. Spring is a great time to schedule a service appointment with our #Tim’sTruckCapital & Auto Sales Service technicians in Epsom, NH, to make sure your vehicle’s air-conditioning system is in working order. You’ll be glad you did when you feel cool air coming out of your vents rather than hot air. Air-Conditioning System The air-conditioning system includes the compressor, condenser, evaporator, metering device and hoses. The refrigerant is another key part of the system. Known as R-134A, it’s a chemical compound that was developed to replace Freon, a chemical that depleted the ozone layer. When the compressor spins, it pressurizes the R-134A refrigerant, producing cold air. The faster the compressor spins, the colder the air. Possible Problems in the Air-Conditioning System Low pressure in the air-conditioning system is the most common problem our technicians encounter. This can be caused by lack of refrigerant, a leak in the system or a failing compressor. Our Service technicians can properly diagnose and take care of any of these problems. Our technicians can also perform needed maintenance such as adding lubricant to the compressor to prolong its life. Bring Your Truck, SUV or Car to Tim’s Truck Capital For Regular Maintenance Our service technicians are among the best in the area. They want to help you keep your vehicle running as long as possible. If you’re ready for a new set of wheels, come to Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales for the best used cars for sale in NH.

The #2015GMCYukon SUV combines rugged truck construction and V8 towing capacity with luxury features you’d expect to find in a luxury SUV. The Yukon’s full redesign for 2015 gave it a new look inside and out. It also sports some innovative features, as well as two new fuel-efficient V8 powertrains that deliver a smooth, comfortable and quiet ride both on- and off-road. At Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales, we love the GMC Yukon. 2015 Yukon Upgrades The Yukon’s third-row seat folds into the floor instead of having to be removed, making it much more versatile and easy to use. Another notable upgrade is a new, larger 8-inch touchscreen interface with added smartphone functionality. In addition to all these great features, the 2015 GMC Yukon has a 4-ton towing capability. Safety Features Available safety features include accident prevention technology including a blind-spot monitor and lane-departure and frontal collision warnings and mitigation. Front and rear parking sensors along with a rearview camera are great for maneuvering in tight spots. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic on-demand roadside assistance, crash notification, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and navigation. Depending on the trim level, you could get a vibrating safety alert seat and rear cross-traffic alert.

Other Used Trucks Available at Tim’s Truck Capital Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales in Epsom, NH has some other options.

Since your vehicle’s shock absorbers and struts are responsible for the control and handling characteristics of your vehicle by basically keeping connected to the road, it’s very important to keep your shocks and struts in top condition. We recommend you include a shock and strut check in your regular vehicle maintenance schedule. Our certified technicians at #Tim’sTruckCapital & Auto Sales in Epsom, NH are happy to do an inspection for you. How Are Your Driving Conditions Impacting Your Shocks & Struts? Under normal conditions, shocks and struts should wear out gradually. However, there are quite a few factors that will affect the rate of wear. Think about the hostile environment underneath your vehicle, where there is constant contact with ice, snow and/or gravel. In addition, if you’re mostly driving in the city on straight smooth roads, your shocks are likely to last a whole lot longer than if you’re driving on winding, muddy gravel roads in a wintry climate. For example, flying gravel can easily nick or damage the piston rod allowing grit and dirt to damage the piston seal. Signs of Wear There can be several signs your shocks and struts are wearing out. Your vehicle bouncing more than 3-4 times at a crossing; rocking back and forth after a sudden stop; drifting to the left or right when you apply the brakes firmly at high speed or rocking or swaying when changing lanes quickly. Our Tim’s Truck Capital certified technicians can take care of your vehicle.

Who built America’s Stonehenge? Indigenous peoples or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure. Our Ford of Branford staff loves the beauty and mystery of America’s Stonehenge in nearby Salem, a little over 45 miles away. What We Do Know # America'sStonehenge is considered to be the oldest man-made construction in the United States. The structure is estimated to be over 4,000 years old. America’s Stonehenge includes a maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places. Like Stonehenge in England, America's Stonehenge was built by ancient people who were experts in astronomy and stone construction. The site was designed as an accurate astronomical calendar and can be used to determine specific solar and lunar events of the year. Various inscriptions in Ogham, Phoenician and Iberian Punic Script have been found throughout the site. Dr. Barry Fell of Harvard University has written a book about the extensive work he did on the inscriptions found at the site. 105 Acres of Woodlands for Hiking & Snowshoeing Enjoy a leisurely walk through the 105 acres of woodlands and wildlife at America's Stonehenge. Alpacas at America’s Stonehenge & Wool for Sale America's Stonehenge is also home to seven friendly #alpacas. You’re invited to visit the herd and learn more about these interesting animals.

Did you know it’s possible to doze off without realizing it? The scientific term for this is called “microsleep” and it’s defined as a brief state of drowsy unconsciousness that can happen even when your eyes wide open. It’s quite scary. And it’s also quite dangerous. According to the NHTS, #drowsiness causes more than 100,000 crashes every year. At Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales, we offer many used vehicles with the latest safety technology. Here are some of the latest technologies that have been on the market for several years and some that are being developed. Driver Alertness Technology Technology can now monitor a vehicle’s movements in order to detect a driver who’s getting sleepy. Sleepy drivers are then warned with a sound and coffee cup graphic or a jiggle of the seat. Now even more effective systems are also being developed. Plessey Semiconductors has developed seat sensors that will monitor heart rate changes. This technology indicates when breathing patterns replicate that of someone who is sleeping. A warning will be given before someone actually feels tired and dozes off. Bosch is working on a camera-based technology that monitors eye and head movements, body posture, heart rate and body temperature. This new system is sophisticated enough to measure body temperature, as well as how the driver is dressed in order to set the interior temperature at a level that will keep the driver alert. Tim’s Truck Capital Wants to Keep You Awake & Alert While Driving Of course, there is no substitute for a good night’s rest. However, we know that’s not always possible. We have a wide selection of used trucks, cars, vans and SUVs, many which have sophisticated technology.

The #2010DodgeRam1500 was ranked by Edmunds’ reviewers as one of the best in its class for 2010. When stacked up against other excellent trucks, such as the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra, the Ram won out because it had strengths in every category. “Simply put, the Ram 1500 is a truck that gets it right in performance, comfort, design and build quality,” according to Edmunds’ reviewers. That kind of endorsement is hard to beat. We at Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales love the #Ram and hope you’ll come give it a test drive. Whatever used truck, car or SUV you’re looking for, if you let our sales team know the specific features you want, we’ll find the right vehicle for you. Ram Redesign in 2009 Fully redesigned in 2009, the Ram was upgraded again for 2010. It features a smooth, car-like ride, thanks to its heavy-duty coil-spring rear suspension. The new suspension also saves weight, allowing for a stabilizer bar that greatly improves off-road performance. Interior Features Inside the Ram 1500 interior you’ll find an attractive design, excellent ergonomics and high quality materials. We recommend the 5.7 liter V8, the largest of the three engines, because it supplies power while getting the same EPA fuel economy ratings as the less powerful V6 engine. Tow Capability The tow rating for a properly equipped Ram1500 with a 5.7-liter V8 engine, is an impressive 10,2050 pounds! The Ram also features an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer-tow mirrors and a tire-pressure monitor that also makes sure your spare is ready, if needed.
