Why Is a Used Truck a Good Choice?
From the Ford F-150 to the Chevy Silverado 1500, we have a wide selection of used trucks to choose from. But why is buying used a good choice? Many of the reasons people choose to buy used are detailed below.
Cost Savings: One of the best reasons to buy a used truck is that it will save you money. New vehicles lose value quickly in the first few years on the road. This means that a used truck will cost much less upfront than a new one. This lets you get more for your money and buy a vehicle with a higher trim level or better features.
Lower Insurance Costs: Most of the time, insurance rates for used vehicles are lower than for new ones. Since a used truck is worth less than a new one, insurance companies usually charge less for coverage, saving money over the truck's life.
Reduced Depreciation: As mentioned, a new truck loses the most value in its first few years. When you buy a used truck, a lot of this initial drop in value has already happened, so you won't have to deal with the significant depreciation that comes with owning a new truck.
More Options: When you buy a used truck, you can choose from more models, trims, and features than when you buy a new truck. You might be able to buy a used truck with more advanced technology, additional features, or the ability to pull more weight than you could have if you purchased a new model.
Proven Reliability: When you buy a used truck, you have the chance to do your homework and choose a well-maintained used truck with a good track record. In addition, our team can walk you through your options and discuss vehicle histories to ensure you feel confident with your choice.
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Benefits: Many used Chevy and GMC trucks on our lot are CPO models. When purchasing one of these trucks, you gain peace of mind because they include thorough inspections, repairs, and extended warranties. CPO models are six years old or less, have traveled fewer than 75,000 miles, and have a clean title.
Buying a used truck can be a smart financial move with many benefits. It also gives you a chance to find a vehicle that meets your needs and gives you a great return on your investment. We’re sure our selection of used trucks will meet your needs, and our sales staff can help you narrow down your options to provide a better shopping experience.
What Should You Consider When Purchasing a Used Truck?
There are many things to consider when purchasing a used truck. While it’s best to nail down what you are looking for before you start shopping, our team can help you navigate the process. If you’re considering a used truck, take the time to explore the information below.
Price and Budget: Money is a big factor when purchasing anything, but it’s especially important when choosing your used truck. Not only do you want to consider the purchase price, but it’s essential to factor in routine maintenance, insurance, fuel efficiency, and other details to ensure you make the best choice.
Gas Mileage: Speaking of fuel efficiency, consider the estimates provided for your truck of choice. With advancements in today’s trucks, fuel efficiency is better than ever, but it’s still something to consider. This is especially true if you commute to Houston often.
Bed Size: Part of the convenience of owning a truck is the bed. When considering what is best for you, thinking about how you will use your truck is key. Do you plan to haul lumber or large furniture? Or do you need a truck bed with advanced features like a multi-function tailgate? What about a truck bed that allows you to customize it to fit your needs? Most trucks come with a six-foot bed. However, you can find models with long beds, which are big enough to lay a four-by-eight piece of sheetrock flat so it doesn't get damaged on the way home.
Cab Type: Like the truck bed, many options exist for the cabin. For instance, a regular cab has two doors and a single row of seats, while an extended cab typically has two doors and two half doors with a small second row. A third option is the crew cab, which provides the most functionality. This type of cab has four doors, providing better access to the full second row.
Towing Capacity: When looking for a used truck, especially if you plan to haul large loads, it’s essential to understand its towing and payload capacity. In addition, many used trucks offer advanced trailering features to help you feel confident during the drive. Our team can explore each option with you, including a thorough review of how the features work. This can help you determine which truck is best for you.
Performance: Performance goes hand in hand with towing capabilities. After all, you need the right engine under the hood to tow properly. Today’s trucks offer a variety of engine options, as well as fine-tuned suspensions that provide a smoother ride. Not only should you consider your engine options, but understanding your need for four-wheel or two-wheel drive is also key. In addition, many used trucks offer selectable drive modes to assist you in navigating various terrains.
