5 Things All Pre-Owned Truck Buyers Should Know

In the market for a pickup? To make sure you get exactly what you need, we’ve put together this list of five things pre-owned truck buyers should think about before making a purchase.

Size

Will your truck be a family vehicle? If so, you will need a model that’s big enough to fit everybody. Regular cabs typically only seat up to three passengers, which is why it could make more sense to go with a crew cab.

Power

What kind of engine are you looking for? While many pickup trucks typically come standard with a V6 engine, if you’ll want more horsepower, it pays to upgrade to a V8.

Performance

Some trucks handle a lot better than others, which is why it’s important to take a test drive. This will let you see how your pre-owned truck feels around curves.

Towing and Hauling Ability

If you will need your truck for towing or hauling, be sure to look into the ratings ahead of time. For example, the Chevy Silverado 1500 it typically one of the class leaders when it comes to towing and hauling.

Warranties

When buying anything pre-owned, it’s always good to have some protection. This is why it pays to go with a certified pre-owned model.

These models come with an Extended New Car Bumper-to-Bumper limited warranty good for 12 months or 12,000 miles. There is also an Extended Powertrain Limited 6-year/100,000-mile warranty.
