Midsize Trucks

If you find yourself often driving the streets of Schenectady, then we recommend going with a midsize truck. They're perfect for being able to maneuver their way through traffic, and they're able to fit into most parking spaces. Their more compact size makes them the ideal trucks for those of us who spend a lot of time exploring all that Schenectady has to offer. If you're the type that enjoys going to the museums and VIA Aquarium, or maybe even Proctors Theater, then you should really consider the midsize trucks we have available. Handling busy intersections isn't their only quality, either. Midsize trucks can also make great commuter vehicles. They have smaller engines and don't need as much horsepower, so they get a more competitive gas mileage than larger trucks. Their smaller size again plays in their favor during the rush hours.

Just because they're smaller trucks doesn't mean that they can't keep up in the power department, though. Midsize trucks can still haul a good amount of cargo, and they give you the perks of a truck bed without the bulk of a full-size truck. Midsize trucks are real winners for anyone who needs the power of a truck but the maneuverability of a smaller vehicle. Not only do they give you the benefits of the car, but because they're trucks, you can trust their four-wheel drive in our unpredictable weather! These are trucks that can really get you just about anywhere you need to go and are really great examples of why smaller vehicles can be a good buy. Popular midsize models to look for include the Toyota Tundra, Ford Ranger, and Chevy Colorado, all three of these vehicles are great fits for city drivers and avid off-roaders alike.

Full-Size Trucks

Sometimes smaller just isn't enough. In those cases, it's time to upgrade to a larger used truck. If you're the type that spends a lot of time off the road, or maybe you like to indulge in the outdoor activities, like bike trails, that Schenectady and the surrounding areas have to offer, you may need to look at a truck that can pack a little more of a punch. Full-size trucks are excellent for those of us who have toys to haul or who dabble in DIY work. If you're going to be hauling a boat or trailer, we like to recommend our full-size trucks. They can pull more than the midsize models, and that gives you the confidence that you can pull or tow just about anything wherever you need to be going. Full-size trucks have bigger engines than the midsize, and that gives them more power in the hauling and towing departments.

Full-size trucks are also highly equipped to handle the ups and downs of Schenectady weather. When winter really gets into full swing and the roads start getting a bit slick, full-size trucks are heavy enough to help your vehicle maintain better traction. Because they're bigger, heavier, and stronger than midsize trucks, full-size trucks are set up to be capable for workers, laborers, and haulers alike. They can handle just about anything you decide to throw at them. They're great at having enough power for everyday use and work without being too much. So if you're the type to head out for a day on the Mohawk River, or maybe you want to go hit those bike trails and be able to take everything with you, then we'd steer you in the direction of our used full-size trucks. Some best-selling full-size trucks to keep in mind when you are shopping include the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500.

Heavy-Duty Trucks

Heavy-duty trucks are trucks not made for everyone. The difference between a full-size truck and a heavy-duty truck is thousands of pounds of payload and towing capability. So if you're hauling a lot of weight regularly, our heavy-duty trucks are for you. These trucks are built to be astonishingly tough. They're taller, longer, and wider than almost every other vehicle out there, and that makes them the bosses of the road. They have the largest engines and highest horsepower ratings on the market, so when you go with a heavy-duty model, you know you are driving the toughest truck on the block. These are the types of trucks that you see hauling large trailers down the street.

If you're searching for a work truck, a towing rig, or a pickup that can handle a snow plow, then heavy-duty trucks are where you want to look. They're big, they look mean, and they are undeniably capable. These trucks are ideally suited to those of us who are working or hauling constantly. They make excellent delivery trucks and are great fits for those working in farming or trades. If that sounds like you, then you need a truck that works as hard as you do. That makes a used heavy-duty truck the right pick for you. They are designed to have a lot of horsepower and be rugged enough to handle any and all jobs. A few of the heavy-duty models we carry include the Silverado HD, Ram Heavy Duty, and Ford Super Duty. Most buyers will find all the capability they need in a three-quarter-ton model, but opt for a one-ton truck for maximum towing performance.
