Best Used Pickup Truck for the Worksite

When it comes to a workhorse vehicle, nothing can compete with a truck. But, this doesn’t mean you have to buy a new one to get what you need. A used pickup truck – like the models below – can have outstanding ability on any worksite.

Chevy Silverado 1500

For its class, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has some the best towing ability. The base model comes with a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. This will let you tow between 7,400 and 8,000 pounds.

If you go with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel configuration that generates 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, you’ll be able to tow up to 9,300 pounds.

The 5.3-liter V8 engine – which produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque – has a tow rating of 9,500 and 11,600 pounds. But for the best towing ability, you’ll want the 6.2-liter V8. This puts out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 13,400 pounds.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 also has a maximum payload of 2,250 pounds.

Chevy Silverado 2500HD

For even better towing and ability capability, consider the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. This truck comes with a standard 6.6-liter V8 engine that offers 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque.

It will let you tow up to 14,500 pounds and haul up to 9,500 pounds. You can also opt for the Duramax® diesel engine 6.6-liter V8 engine that pumps out 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This truck will let you tow up to 15,400 pounds and haul up to 10,000 pounds.

You can’t go wrong with either of these used pickup trucks, and you can take a look at both at Scott Chevrolet in Allentown.
