There’s a Truck for That

New and used trucks are becoming quite the commodity. While new trucks always bring in special perks and features, we want to take a moment and recognize some of the most popular used trucks for sale on our lot. Used trucks can have a lot of great things to offer, such as affordable price tags, quality craftsmanship, and reliability. Without trucks, the vehicle world would be a totally different place that is filled with people who can’t tow, can’t haul, and can’t get the job done. Guntersville Chevrolet recognizes that trucks tend to make the world go round. There’s a truck that is ideally suited for every job we can think of, and we think it’s time that people start to recognize and give trucks the credit they deserve!

2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD: A Truck for Farmers and Ranchers

Farmers and ranchers tend to have a specific set of needs that they need to be met by their vehicles. They need strong, durable trucks that are capable of working long hours without rest. This makes the 2020 Silverado 2500 HD an ideal fit for both. These trucks are capable of handling any task you throw at them. They’re equipped to deal with up to 18,500 pounds of tow weight, which makes them capable of towing large machinery or a trailer full of horses or cattle. We typically would recommend that you consider the 6.6 liter Duramax powertrain for this vehicle because the additional horsepower and torque give the Silverado a smoother transition from stopped to pulling.

Regardless of what configuration you go with, the Silverado 2500 HD is capable of getting your livestock, feed, or equipment wherever you need it to be, and that makes it an ideal fit for farmers and ranchers alike. For people that keep the world fed and running, they need a truck that can work as tirelessly as they do. There’s not a lot of monetary reward for doing the hard and necessary work, so we like the 2020 because it is just as capable as the newer models but at a lower price tag.

2021 Ram 1500: A Truck for Framers

Nope, that’s not a typo. We know that this looks like we meant to add another truck for farmers, but we really do mean framers. There are a lot of great vehicles out there, but when it comes to having the room, builders need a truck with a little more bed. The 2021 Ram is an excellent selection for anyone in the business of hauling wood or pipe to and from job sites.

Builders are frequently required to take long pieces of material to and from job sites, and the Ram 1500 is able to do this with ease. It’s primarily a great fit for this task because it comes with an eight-foot bed option. This allows drivers to forgo the need to hang a flag off the end of their wood beams because, for the most part, they’ll either fit snugly inside the bed or hang off very little. There’s a hugely reduced risk of materials breaking or snapping during transport with the longer bed size as well.

While the 2021 Ram 1500 comes with a couple of different powertrain options, we recommend the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 because it is able to handle a bit more payload. The ability to handle up to 1,930 pounds of payload reduces the number of times you’ll have to haul a trailer to get the materials you need. So whether you are a do-it-yourself builder or a professional contractor, the 2021 Ram fits your materials nicely while still fitting nicely inside your budget requirements.

2020 Chevy Silverado 1500: A Truck for Teenagers

Picking a vehicle for your newly minted teenage driver is both a scary and exciting time. While many people will go with the smaller or more compact vehicles, we think that the 2020 Silverado would be an excellent option. While it is classed as a full-size truck, the ability to adjust the cabin size and select the shorter bed gives parents the ability to opt for a more compact truck that will give their teenage driver a whole host of safety features.

The fact that it’s a truck gives the Silverado some built-in protections that smaller vehicles can’t provide, but Chevy also included a couple of other features standard. Chevy has Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist, among others. We recommend parents go with the 4.3 liter Ecotec3 V6 engine because it has a lower combination of horsepower and torque that keeps its power well within a teenage driver’s capabilities.

Another great set of features you can look for in the Silverado is Teen Driver. This feature collection allows parents to see a snapshot of their teens driving, ensures that the driver of the vehicle is safely buckled up before they’re able to drive off, and limits radio loudness, among other things. The safety features and controllability of the 2020 Silverado 1500 help keep less experienced drivers safe on the road, and the used price tag makes it more affordable for parents and teens alike.

2018 Toyota Tacoma: A Truck for Families

When it comes to family values and dependability, a 2018 Tacoma is an excellent choice to trust with your family’s safety. They’re large enough on the inside to be comfortable for long drives with a family inside, they’re strong enough to take a whole family out to the lake or their favorite camping site, and they’re still small enough that they can easily fit into a grocery parking lot or school pickup line. Toyota has top-of-the-line safety measures in place that keep your family secure. Features such as vehicle stability control, traction control, and anti-lock braking systems help make the Toyota an incredibly safe truck to take your family wherever you need to go.

The Tacoma isn’t just one of the safest vehicles to put your family in; it also boasts a great fuel efficiency for a used truck. Getting around 18-21 miles per hour combined makes Tacoma budget-friendly, and it can help save your family money at the gas station. The 2018 Tacoma comes with a family-friendly price tag, and because it retains its value, it’s a great buy for any driver looking for a truck to take their family on adventures.

2018 Ford F-150: A Truck for Commuters

When you’re constantly on the road driving to and from work, or you have to travel frequently for other reasons, trucks aren’t always the first vehicle that comes to mind. However, the 2018 Ford F-150, especially the 2.7 liter V6 EcoBoost, was made with this kind of driving in mind. The F-150 gets great fuel efficiency, and because it is an EcoBoost, you’re decreasing the impact this constant driving is doing to the environment. High-quality trucks and EcoBoost engines can come with high price tags, but because it is used, the 2018 F-150 makes being environmentally friendly and affordable.

The roomy interior is another great aspect for people who are spending large amounts of time in their truck. The infotainment paired with Ford’s SYNC 3 system allows drivers of the F-150 to enjoy an easily operated 8-inch touchscreen. Easy to use and efficient, this infotainment system is a must-have for anyone who is getting bored on their commute to and from work. The ability to add massage chairs to the F-150 is just one more perk that makes this affordable used truck a great fit for a daily driver.

There’s a Used Truck Here for You

Used trucks are making a huge comeback in the world lately, and Guntersville Chevrolet has a model for you. While new trucks offer a lot of new and innovative features for drivers, sometimes the older models are better fits for what our drivers need them for. These used trucks are some of our favorites out on the market, and we love how well they fit different drivers’ lifestyles and purposes.
