How Old Of A Truck Should I Buy?

Perhaps you�ve heard the horror stories about someone buying an old used truck for sale and having it break down soon after driving off the lot. A breakdown is probably something you want to avoid, as it can prove costly for repairs. The reputation of old trucks may also scare you from wanting anything to do with high-mileage trucks or older trucks. However, you should understand that a little knowledge can go a long way in helping to ensure that you find a truck that will provide you with many years of driving, even if it�s old. With this being said, there are a few different factors you should consider while determining the lifespan of trucks at a used car dealership near you, and these factors can be seen in the list below.

1. How Much Mileage Is Too Much?

The first question you may have about old used trucks for sale is how much mileage is too much? Typically, the upper limit for most used vehicles is 100,000 miles. After 100,000 miles, repairs often outweigh the price of the vehicle. You should note, however, that most pickup trucks for sale are constructed using parts that are more durable than typical vehicles. Thus, pickup trucks tend to last longer depending on how well they�ve been maintained.

2. Lifespan Depends On Use

Another factor that contributes to the lifespan of any used truck for sale is how it was previously used. To determine how a truck was previously used or maintained, a used car dealership near you should always present the vehicle history report. The vehicle history report will indicate how any vehicle was previously maintained and whether or not it has been involved in anything serious. If a dealership is unable to provide a vehicle�s history report, you should find somewhere else to car shop.

3. Diesel Engines Last Longer

Diesel engines are great, especially for anyone who plans on towing with a truck, since they provide a lot more power than typical engines. Along with this, because they burn fuel slower than normal trucks, diesel trucks for sale inherently last longer. Diesel engines also tend to be more durable than normal gas engines, providing years of reliability on the road.

4. Specific Manufacturer's Trucks Last Longer

While searching for trucks for sale near you, it is wise to research every truck that interests you, as some manufacturers may design their trucks to last longer than usual. For example, the Ram 1500 is rated to last for up to 300,000 miles if well-maintained. Hence, high mileage may be defined as something different for Ram trucks and other truck manufacturers with similar construction.5. Always Inspect And Test Drive

While shopping at a used car dealership near you, one of the most important aspects of your experience will be the test drive. The test drive will allow you to get a feel for how each truck performs and handles. After test driving, you can compare and contrast each driving experience to determine the best option for you. Before you test drive, however, you should first inspect each vehicle that interests you, ensuring that it suits you before getting behind the wheel. During your test drive, there are a few elements you should observe, which can be seen in the following list:

  • Braking and acceleration: ResponsivenessSuspension: Rides smoothly
  • Cabin noise: Quiet interior
  • Safety: Test safety features

You can set up a specific time to test drive the trucks that interest you with R&B Car Company�s Fort Wayne car dealership or any other truck dealer near you.In conclusion, we at R&B Car Company hope that this list helps you to better comprehend what to look for when it comes to age and mileage for trucks. The final piece of advice to extend any truck�s life is proper maintenance. Most maintenance can be done yourself or with a mechanic, and you just have to be responsible about it, servicing your truck when necessary.
