Here are the top tips for buying a used F-Series.

  1. Budgeting for your lifestyle. It is important to create a fitting budget for your lifestyle. There are many pickup trucks that can fit different jobs. By budgeting 10% to 20% of your monthly income, you can buy a cost-effective used truck for sale. You will need to budget for a downpayment, monthly payment, insurance, parking, fuel, and maintenance costs.
  1. Pay attention to the mileage. Mileage is crucial when you need a used truck for sale. Depending on the engine, you can expect different lifespans and mileage. Diesel-powered models can drive many more miles, making them ideal for work purposes. A gasoline-powered model lasts about 200,000 miles on average, while a diesel-powered model can easily last over 400,000 miles. Compare mileage to estimate the remaining lifespan of used trucks near you.
  1. Consider towing and hauling needs. Finding the right truck for the job requires the proper specs. Ewald Hartford Ford can help you consider towing and hauling capabilities. The Ford F-250 for sale is a ¾-ton pickup truck with a maximum payload of around 15,000 lbs and a max payload of around 4,323 lbs. Alternatively, you can buy the 1-ton used Ford F-350. The used Ford F-350 has a maximum payload of around 20,000 lbs and a max payload of around 4,713 lbs. If a truck is too powerful for the job, it will sacrifice efficiency. Review specs and find something that fits the job at Ewald.
  1. Browse off-road options. There are many off-road options available for the Ford F-Series. One of the most popular off-road options is a 4×4 transmission. Used Ford trucks with 4×4 technology can power each wheel individually by splitting power between the axles. Off-road adventures will have more traction when driving a 4×4 used truck for sale.
  1. Customize it. Ford F-Series trucks have many customizations. Ewald Hartford Ford has a parts department and staff that can help you find exciting options. You can add interior comfort, install more advanced technology, customize the bed, or raise the truck. We will help you find exactly what you need for a used Ford F-250 today!
