What to Look for in a Used Pickup Truck

If you’re looking to buy a used pickup truck, you may find several available, but this doesn’t mean they will all meet your needs. To make sure you get the right truck, these are the three areas to special attention to.

Towing and Hauling Ability

If you’re in need of a truck, there’s a good chance that you’ll want it to do some work. This is why it pays to see what it can do in terms of towing and hauling.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is always a leader in both of these categories. The 2018 model for example, can tow up to 12,500 pounds when it’s properly equipped. It can also haul up to 2,250 pounds.

Space

If this truck will be something you drive every day, it’s important that it will be roomy enough for your needs, especially if this will be a family vehicle.

Be sure to look for a spacious cabin, and perhaps one with two rows. Also, check to see how much interior storage space you will get.

Tech and Safety

Even older trucks can come with advanced features. The 2019 Chevy Colorado came standard with Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and two USB ports. Upper trims had satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and navigation.

A rearview camera and the Teen Driver system were all standard in that model, while features like rear parking sensors and forward collision warning were available.
