Work trucks are no longer what they used to be.  We now get all the luxuries of sedans, SUVs, and minivans from comfier seats to tricked-out navigation and sound systems.  It makes the need for a work truck to be a separate mode of transportation from your daily driver a thing of the past!  Here at Scotti’s Auto Sales, we know the value of a pre-owned truck and are here to let you know what our top five picks are.

First up on our list is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.  Check out the 2017-2018 models.  Our favorite trim is the LT Double Can 4×4. This extended cab truck has second-row doors making it more comfortable for you and any passengers coming along for the ride.  The 4.3-liter V6 engine makes this a powerful and capable truck, capable of outputting 355 horsepower.

Second on the list is the GMC Sierra 1500. Basic in every GMC Sierra is a 6-speaker stereo and USB port to sync your smartphone.  This also sports a 4.3-liter engine but with a little more power thanks to the V8 component. 

Next on the list is the Ford F-150 XLT SuperCab 8’ Bed 4×4. The F-150 will come standard with a 282-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine.  If you need more kick, you can easily upgrade to a more powerful trim.  

Fourth on our list is the 2012-2016 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab. Tundras are great trucks if you need a spacious cab and bed, and they maintain their value over the years.  This powerhouse has a 4.6-liter V8 engine under the hood, giving it great efficiency for the price.

Our fifth and final suggestion is the Ram 1500. The SLT Quad Cab 4×4 is our favorite trim, and it comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that can be upgraded to a 5.7-liter V8.  There are even some models with EcoDiesel V6 engines!
