Here at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth, we pride ourselves on being able to understand the needs of each and every one of our customers. For many people, pretty much any vehicle will be able to get them through the week. But some of our customers have more specialized needs and require a particular kind of vehicle to handle the tasks they face. If you are looking at used diesel trucks for sale, then you have that kind of unique requirement for your next vehicle and you deserve to work with a dealership that understands what you need.
While a diesel truck might not be for everyone, if you need a powerful, hard-working pickup that you can count on day after day for many years to come, a diesel truck will be perfect. One of the only real drawbacks to a diesel truck is that it will typically cost more than a similar vehicle with a gas engine. Shopping for a used diesel truck helps cut through that additional expense and makes it easier to get what you need at a price that fits your budget. With the right dealership by your side, it is easy to shop with confidence, even for a pre-owned vehicle, and drive away knowing you have the perfect truck to handle anything you throw at it.
Finding the right used diesel truck all starts with having a great selection of different models to choose from, and you can count on us at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth to have you covered. We work hard to maintain a diverse inventory of pre-owned vehicles, including powerful work trucks, which means we have pickups with diesel engines available pretty much all of the time. Our inventory of used models changes regularly, of course, but we do everything we can to always have something available for everyone.
You will not find as many different models available when shopping for a used diesel truck as you would when looking for a more general-use vehicle, but that can work in your favor. This means you do not have to worry about working through a dozen different models to find something that will meet your needs. Instead, you can focus on what will work for you. Something like the diesel GMC Sierra 1500 is a fantastic all-around work truck that is an excellent choice for many people. Best of all, it has had a powerful diesel engine available since the 2020 model year, so you can find a wide range of Sierra models with the kind of engine you want.
Of course, if you are looking for greater performance in your next truck, you will want to look for a heavy-duty pickup to best meet your needs. In that case, a model like the GMC Sierra HD is a terrific option and will have either a powerful V8 gas engine or a V8 diesel engine. This is the kind of model you want to focus on for unbeatable payload and towing capacities. In particular, a diesel Sierra 3500 HD with dual rear wheels is a terrific choice for incredible capability that can handle anything.
Arguably the most important thing to keep in mind as you are shopping for a used diesel truck is the kind of work it can handle. As we said above, the model you choose will have a huge impact on the sort of capability your truck delivers. For instance, the diesel GMC Sierra 2500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD actually have the same powerful diesel engine in them, but the Sierra 3500 HD can handle a lot more work due to how it is engineered. So while you certainly want to find a bold diesel engine that meets your needs, be sure to look beyond just that.
You will also want to look at the model year of any diesel truck you are interested in because much of its performance and features will depend on when it was built. While a more recent model will likely cost more, it will also deliver power and capability that a truck from a decade ago cannot compete with. However, diesel engines are well known for being some of the most reliable on the market, which means they can provide you with dependable performance for much longer than typical gas engines. If budget is your top concern, an older diesel truck could be the best way to save money while still getting a pickup that you can rely on for many years to come.
The mileage on any used vehicle is important, but it is less of a factor with an older diesel truck than with many other vehicles. A sedan with 100,000 miles on it might be approaching the end of its lifespan, but a diesel truck with 100,000 miles still has plenty of life left in it. In fact, if you find a diesel truck that is older but has lower mileage, that can actually be a bad sign; a truck that was parked most of its life might end up with some engine issues. The ideal choice is a diesel truck that has been used well but properly serviced and maintained; that is a truck that will last you a long time.
Finding the right used diesel truck is all about choosing the right dealership––with good people to help you find what you need, everything becomes a lot easier. Even when you know you are looking for something specific, like a used diesel truck, it is important to have someone by your side to assist you in finding it. Our attentive and knowledgeable salespeople will listen to you, answer your questions, and help you find that perfect truck. Whether you need a pickup for personal use or want something for your business, we can help.
