Any truck owner will tell you that they are not all designed and built equally, which is why the legendary power and reliability of a Chevy truck really puts it ahead of the pack.

A lot of people come to us because they want to enjoy the gorgeous landscape and natural beauty of the area around us here and near Houston. You don't need to have a pickup truck to enjoy nature from afar, but it certainly helps to have a Chevy truck if you want to get up close and personal with the Texas landscape. In a lot of the country, it can be hard to get out and enjoy some fishing, camping, or boating for much of the year as the weather turns bitter cold. But here, we can keep having fun outdoors all year round, without having to worry very much about ice or snow.

The right Chevy truck is perfect for anyone that enjoys boating, fishing, camping, or hitting the trail and going off-road.

Chevy trucks are particularly well-suited for going off-road, with four-wheel drive, powerful engines, and off-road trims and packages available on most models.

Of course, a used Chevy truck is also a fantastic choice if you work in a trade or have a similar job in the Houston area. It is no secret that these pickups are ideal for anyone in a trade and have to haul a lot of equipment. Chevy trucks provide you with plenty of space for your tools and other equipment while offering excellent towing and payload capacities, so you can load up your truck with lumber, drywall, or anything else you need. Even if you do not work in a trade but need to be able to access locations well off the beaten trail, a used Chevy truck can be a great choice. With a powerful engine, four-wheel drive, and other features, you can get a Chevy pickup that will take you anywhere you need to go, so you can get your job done and get home safely.

A Legacy of Amazing Chevy Pickups

Choosing the right used Chevy truck in the Houston area really comes down to recognizing what you need, what you want, and then finding the model that checks all of your boxes. Fortunately, the pickups that have been available over the last couple of decades include something for pretty much everyone. Some customers worry that choosing a used model eliminates the freedom to get what they really need. In reality, our diverse selection of used Chevy trucks lets us find what you want and make sure you have a truck that you can enjoy for many years to come.

The used Chevy truck models you can find include:

  • Chevy Colorado – For nearly 20 years, the Colorado has been Chevy’s midsize truck of choice, which means you can find a lot of them out there. Look for models from 2014 and later for some of the best features. Both two-door and four-door configurations have been available. The Chevy Colorado can be a particularly great choice if you are interested in going off-road and want a truck that can conquer the trail.
  • Chevy Avalanche – Available from 2001 to 2013, the Avalanche was a full-size truck with a unique “mid-gate” configuration. This pickup gives you some of the functionality of an SUV, with a spacious interior that offers lots of passenger seating. The mid-gate can be lowered to provide a longer bed, making it a great option if you need passenger room as well as long cargo space at different times.
  • Chevy Silverado 1500 – The standard Silverado is Chevy’s flagship pickup: a full-size, light-duty truck that has been extremely popular for the last 20 years. You will find a lot of these models used because they are so popular and have such excellent reliability. This is a great choice if you want a truck for both work and play because you can find tons of unique configurations to fulfill your power and convenience requirements.
  • Chevy Silverado HD – If you need an exceptional amount of power and performance, then the Silverado HD models are the way to go. The 2500HD offers greater towing and payload than the standard Silverado, while the 3500HD takes those specs even further. For unbeatable towing power, especially fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing, the Silverado HD Series is a fantastic choice.

Depending on the year and trim level you find, these pickups can have different engines and capacities. So, it can be a little difficult to find one that ticks off all your truck wishlist items, which is why you need a dealer who knows their trucks inside and out. Come visit us to find out more, and we can go over the specs of each of our specific models for you.

Used Chevy Colorado

When searching for a used truck, there's no reason not to consider a Chevy Colorado. Recipient of multiple accolades, including Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award, Cars.com's Best Pickup Truck award, and Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost-Own award, the Chevy Colorado is the epitome of a value-priced pickup with great functionality. If you were interested in purchasing a used Chevy truck, the Colorado definitely deserves a spot at the top of your shopping list.

As a midsize pickup, the Colorado finds itself at a nice intersection between those who want a nice utility truck but without the costs that come with light and heavy-duty pickups. With the Colorado, not only is it a little smaller than some of its truck family but also less costly. Buying a used Chevy Colorado makes the costs drop even further, allowing you to get your hands on the pickup for a significantly lower price compared to buying new.

What's more is that a used Chevy Colorado comes equipped with everything you could want out of a midsize pickup, offering potential truck shoppers multiple powertrain options. This gives the Colorado plenty of leeway when it comes to being purchased for a specific purpose. If you need a small, affordable pickup with efficient towing capabilities and payload capacities, you can opt for a used Colorado that comes equipped with a turbo-diesel engine. If you wanted a little bit more power for off-roading and other wilderness adventures, a Colorado with a V6 is a great alternative.

If you're in the market for a used off-road truck, a Z71 or ZR2 trim is the perfect way to go. These trims have been standouts for the Colorado over the years, consistently adding new features and making the midsize pickup worthwhile for anyone who wanted a truck perfect for adventuring. You not only have access to an adequate bed size and some excellent interior features, but the lifted height, reinforced suspension, and undercarriage protection make the Colorado an excellent option for those who want to travel off the beaten path with an affordable, used Chevy truck.

Used Chevy Silverado 1500

When you need something larger to take on tasks where a compact truck may not be the most suitable, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the perfect alternative. When you buy a used Silverado, you're buying into a brand that is synonymous with dependability. The Silverado has managed to become one of the best-selling trucks in the nation thanks to its excellent powertrain, reliable towing capacity, and great sense of style and comfort.

The Silverado has been around for multiple generations, dating back to the late 1990s when it was given its own nameplate under the Chevrolet brand. Over the years, the Silverado has become well known as a reliable work truck that can wear many different hats, especially when it comes to sporting impressive numbers in the towing and payload category. The consistently improved engine lineup for the Silverado over the years has only increased its capabilities, which means that buying used even from older generations is still a secure way to get your hands on a quality light-duty pickup.

When it comes to some brands, buying used isn't always a guarantee that you're getting the kind of features you want. But in the case of the Silverado, buying used is a safe bet. Since the third generation of the Silverado, most of the newer technologies that people crave from any recent vehicle have made their way into the truck's lineup. This means that you still have access to popular features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the ability to make use of Bluetooth wireless connectivity and easy access to streaming and media apps through the infotainment suite.

For those concerned about safety and roadside assistance, even when you buy used, you still have access to features such as OnStar and many driver assists. When buying Certified Pre-Owned Silverado you also have guaranteed coverage for 24/7 roadside assistance. Basically, safety is something that you don't have to worry about when buying a used Chevy Silverado, especially if you're doing so thinking about what would be best for your family or a young driver who may end up driving the truck. With features like Teen Driver, you're in good hands with the Silverado, making it a great option when it's time to purchase a used Chevy truck.
