Are you in the market for a new-to-you pickup truck? If so, you have several options. While you can buy or lease a brand new pickup truck, buying used may be the way to go. Here are five perks of buying a used truck.

First, you get more for your money when you buy used. You can get a higher trim level pickup truck for a lower price tag when you shop from used vehicles on the market.

Second, the top features cost less money when buying used. Many pre-owned trucks on the market are packed with appealing features that would cost a lot more money if purchased new.

Third, the market for pre-owned trucks is vast. You don’t have to limit yourself to the small selection of brand-new models when shopping for a used pickup truck. You can find countless used pickup trucks that feature a variety of towing, payload, and passenger capacities. You can also find many different exterior paint colors, bed sizes, technology upgrades, and more when browsing the extensive selection of pre-owned pickup trucks on the market.

If you want to avoid depreciation, shopping used is the way to go. When buying a brand new pickup truck, the value of the vehicle drops significantly when you drive it off the lot. However, a pre-owned pickup truck doesn’t lose much value once you purchase it. If you do plan on selling your used pickup truck one day, you can get closer to what you paid for it than if you were to buy a brand new truck.

Lastly, when buying pre-owned, you can get your hands on a special-edition pickup truck. Many automakers put out special edition trim levels of their trucks to celebrate things like model anniversaries or new designs. These limited edition pickup trucks can cost a lot of money when purchased brand new, but they’re notably cheaper when shopping used. You can get your hands on a rare pickup truck for an affordable price when shopping pre-owned.

Most people don’t realize it, but trucks are one of the most commonly owned vehicles in the United States! They’re loved for their ability to perform as a work or commuter vehicle, are high off the ground for smooth rides, and are great for anyone that requires hauling and towing abilities. One of our all-time favorites here at The Truck Junction is the Ford F-150.

Quite possibly the best quality a Ford F-150 possesses is how well it holds its value. While most vehicles lose an average of 60 percent of their original value after the first five years, the Ford F-150 only depreciates about 36 percent in the same amount of time. This means your trade-in value will be far closer to your original price than just about every other car, truck, or van on the market.

Oftentimes people assume trucks are for workers when in fact they also make a great family vehicle! Whether you enjoy DIY home projects or want to take kayaks and bikes out on the weekend for quick getaways, a truck is versatile and works for just about anyone. The roomier cargo space makes them a comfortable ride for drivers and passengers alike. Adding on a tonneau cover to your truck bed is a great way to safely stow your belongings while keeping them safe from the elements.

There are also so many ways to customize your F-150 that aren’t available with all other trucks. The Max Trailer Tow Package includes features such as a 36-gallon fuel tank, smart trailer tow connector, integrated trailer brake controller, and more. Basically, you can add on as much or as little to your F-150 as you’d like depending on the trim you select.

The Truck Junction is the perfect place to find your very own pre-owned Ford F-150. We’ll even take your old vehicle off your hands and find you the perfect truck. Give us a call today at (941) 927-8785 or stop by and see us at 4791 Clark Road in Sarasota.
