Trucks are tough and versatile vehicles that have wide appeal. Whether you're a worker who needs a pickup for your job or an outdoor enthusiast in search of an off-road vehicle for your next adventurous getaway, there's a truck out there that's right for you. New models are nice and shiny, packed with all the latest tech features, but they can be a bit pricey. Since plenty of reliable trucks last for years and years, you can get a great deal on a used model without sacrificing much in terms of quality or how many miles you can get out of it.
If you're looking for a Murfreesboro used truck dealer who will offer you a great selection of models and provide a personal touch with outstanding customer service, then you've come to the right place. Newton Chevrolet GMC is built on the principles of honesty, integrity, and teamwork. While other dealerships might pressure you, waste your time, or not take your needs seriously, we're dedicated to helping you find the right vehicle at the right price and making the buying process smooth and simple. Whatever your priorities are, we can work with you to get you behind the wheel of your dream truck.
If you want a quality truck that's built to last but you aren't going to be towing or hauling enough weight to require a full-size pickup, then a midsize option might fit the bill. These models are more affordable and easier to maneuver, and while they can't match full-size trucks when it comes to stats, they're still plenty capable. The important thing for drivers looking for good value is to stick to reliable brands that build trucks that aren't just high quality when they roll off the factory floor but will stay in good shape for a long, long while, even with heavy daily use.
The Chevy Colorado is a practical choice that is available in a variety of different setups. Different cab sizes and bed lengths let you find a model that's just right for your cargo and passenger-carrying needs. Its counterpart under the GMC brand is the Canyon, which is just as versatile as the Colorado but more upscale when it comes to exterior style, interior comfort, and tech features. With the top-level Canyon Denali, you don't have to choose between hard work and luxury; you'll get the best of both.
Here at Newton Chevrolet GMC, we take particular pride in the brands we specialize in, but we have all kinds of vehicles in our used inventory. So if you're a fan of another brand, don't count us out. And if we don't have what you're looking for listed on our website right now, reach out and ask us about it. We may be able to get it in soon, just for you.
If you like Toyota and want an incredible midsize option, the Toyota Tacoma is a reliable fan favorite with an excellent selection of off-road trims. Tradespeople who are just looking for the basics and don't want to bother with unnecessary tech can opt for the Nissan Frontier, which offers a comfortable ride and decent towing and payload capacities. Before it got a total overhaul for the 2022 model year, the Frontier spent a while hanging onto a retro look and feel. That's almost certainly a dealbreaker for those looking for modern conveniences, but if you want an old-school truck that doesn't have too many miles on it, it may be worth considering.
Full-size trucks are powerful and durable and come with a wide range of options, so you can find something that strikes the right balance between capability, luxury, and affordability. For instance, the Chevy Silverado 1500 ranges from the no-frills WT trim, which is perfect for tradespeople who want great value without too many bells and whistles, all the way up to the High Country, which is packed with tech and comfort features that make it ideal for long drives. While the Silverado 1500 can certainly hold its own when it comes to towing and payload capacities, those who have bigger jobs to tackle can opt for the Silverado HD. If you do need high towing capacity, pay attention to the model year. Like its competitors, the Silverado keeps improving over time. For example, the 2018 Silverado HD can tow up to 23,300 lbs, while the 2021 model can handle all the way up to 36,000 lbs.
The GMC Sierra uses the same bones as the Silverado but has a more luxurious interior and refined style. It's also highly configurable, with different cab sizes, bed lengths, and trims. The Sierra 1500 may be the "light duty" version, but it's still plenty powerful. Its maximum towing capacity has been over 10,000 lbs since the 2012 model year, so even an older Sierra can tackle heavy loads. If you have bigger fish to fry, you can get a Sierra HD instead. Older used models are plenty capable, but if you see a 2020 model or newer, keep an eye out for GMC's innovative MultiPro Tailgate, which has six different functions that make it easy to load up and access the bed in a number of different ways, and even use it as a mobile workbench.
We can't talk about full-size pickups without discussing the ever-popular Ford F-Series. The F-150 has long been a best-seller thanks to its well-rounded nature, pairing a selection of great engines with innovative tech features. In the 2021 model year, Ford started offering the F-150 as a hybrid, which is more fuel-efficient and comes standard with a built-in generator that can come in handy on worksites.
Trucks may be great for getting tough jobs done, but that doesn't mean they're all work and no play. There are plenty of models out there that are perfect for weekend getaways, camping trips, and off-roading adventures. Chevy's Colorado and Silverado can both be had in the incredible ZR2 trim. This trim adds features like higher ground clearance, skid plates that protect vital mechanical components, and enough power to handle anything from desert running to rock crawling.
Ford's F-150 Raptor also has intense power and a fortified body built to survive anything you throw at it. Its smooth ride means that you don't have to suffer as you take the freeway on your way to the trail, but its extra-wide body may be difficult to find parking when you're not in wide-open spaces. The Ram 1500 TRX is fast and bursting with power but can be tough to maneuver in tight spaces, so it may not be the best choice for narrow trails with lots of twists and turns.
While some may think that pickup trucks are all the same, we know that that couldn't be farther from the truth. These vehicles have a wide variety of sizes, engines, and styles. Some are versatile and well-suited to a whole host of uses, while others are highly specialized and meant for a particular task. This gives buyers plenty of options to choose from, but it can also be a bit overwhelming.
