Our Ford dealer in Hartford, WI makes it easy to find and finance the perfect used truck for your needs. Before you visit Ewald's Hartford Ford to explore our current inventory of used trucks for sale, let's review what you need to know to buy a used work truck. With our help, selecting the ideal used work truck at our Ford dealership near you will be simple!


What's the difference between a regular truck and a work truck?


Work trucks usually feature large engines, job-specific features, and bare-bones amenities. These Ford trucks for sale typically come with the biggest engines available for the truck. The larger the engine, the greater the towing and hauling capabilities - which is essential for customers shopping for a work truck. Some used work trucks for sale will feature custom upgrades for specific jobs, like plows or dumps. Ewald's Hartford Ford offers plenty of used trucks with job-specific modifications already included. As many companies purchase entire fleets of commercial trucks, don't expect a ton of luxurious comforts. Fleets are often purchased at discount bulk prices, meaning they won't include many convenience features.


Why should you buy a used work truck?


There are plenty of benefits to buying a used pickup truck for sale as your next work truck. Trucks are designed to hold up against extreme working conditions. Buying a used work truck for sale doesn't mean sacrificing performance or reliability. Let's explore why buying a used work truck can be a brilliant decision.


  • You'll save money on the purchase price of your used work truck for sale. 
  • Our used trucks for sale won't depreciate as quickly as new models.
  • It's less expensive to insure a used pickup truck for sale than a new truck.
  • Enjoy shopping from a wider selection of used trucks at our Ford dealer in Hartford, WI. If you shop for a new work truck, your options are restricted to the current model year. Buying a used work truck allows you to choose from many more options.
  • Trucks provide greater longevity than sedans, making them a better option to buy used. What might be considered "high-mileage" for a used car isn't as daunting when you're looking for a used truck.
  • You might find it easier to enjoy using a pre-owned work truck. After spending a great deal of money on a brand-new work truck, it can be agonizing to see the wear-and-tear accumulate. Work trucks are intended to be used for labor, so why bother spending on a fancy paint job?
  • It's simple to research how a particular model will perform over the years. You can conduct detailed research on a used truck, but that invaluable information isn't available for new trucks.

How do I choose a work truck?


The first rule of choosing a work truck is to be prepared. Before you visit our Ford dealership near you, it's essential to know what you need from your next work truck. With so many variables at play, and such high stakes, make sure to ask yourself the following questions before you buy a used work truck.


What do I need to load or tow? - It's crucial to know the weight and type of the loads you need to tow or haul before you buy a truck. If you buy a used work truck with too much power, you'll overspend on the purchase price and fuel. But if you don't get into a used truck with enough power, you won't be able to perform your job. The sales team at Ewald's Hartford Ford will be happy to help you choose a used truck that is just right for your needs.


How much space and seating do I need in my cab? - It's important to know how much space you need in the bed of your truck, but it's also important to consider the cab. Think about the crew you'll need to transport - are you going to be working alone, with one other person, or with several people? Ford trucks for sale offer standard cabs, extended cabs, and crew cabs. Choose the cab style that best fits your usage needs.


What size truck bed do I need? - The bed of your truck needs to be large enough to accommodate your cargo, without being unnecessarily large. The longer a truck's bed, the more difficult it will be to maneuver. Consider how much cargo you need to transport, along with how detrimental it would be to sacrifice maneuverability. 


What type of engine do I need? - Engine types and sizes can be daunting to review. But your engine choice is arguably the most important component on the used truck. If you aren't sure which engine is the right choice for your work truck, let the Ewald team of experts help. Bring information about your driving needs, including how far you need to drive, the type of roads you travel, and any cargo requirements. Our sales team will help you decide between a gas or diesel engine for your next work truck. The Ewald team will also break down the performance capabilities for all engine options to help you find the right powertrain.


Is 4x4 necessary for a work truck?


Should you buy a two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive work truck? Most manufacturers charge a premium for a 4x4 truck. Before you spend extra money on a used work truck, think about if you really need 4WD. If you need to drive in inclement weather or road conditions, a four-wheel drive work truck is the best choice. You'll enjoy reliable performance, no matter how challenging the climate. If you live in an area where severe weather isn't a concern, a two-wheel drive truck offers better fuel economy.
