If you typed “used truck sales near me” into the search engine hoping to find a wide variety of truck options in the Durham, NC area, you’re in the right place. Here at CBS Quality Cars, we focus on inventory, not brand. As a result, we keep plenty of used trucks in stock, offering everything from the Ford F-Series and the Chevrolet Silverado to the midsize Ranger and Colorado, and much more. We even carry several Ram and Toyota truck models. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore brand fan or just looking for the best used truck deal—we’ve got you covered.
We understand that new trucks can be expensive, which is why a used model makes for a great alternative; that said, even used truck prices can be higher than you’re comfortable with. This is why we offer our own “CBS Low Price” deals, providing you with the best possible pricing for your truck model. Our financing department will also work with you to ensure that you find a payment plan that fits your needs.
First, let’s look at each used truck brand’s history and what they currently have to offer you. We are completely unbiased here when it comes to brand; however, some body styles are better suited for off-roading, casual driving, or labor. This outline will help you decide which brands and models you need to pursue.
Used Chevy Trucks
Nothing works hard like a Chevy. Founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C Durant, this General Motors-owned brand has provided Americans with reliable models for over 100 years. Initially, Durant founded General Motors before Chevrolet but was let go from the company due to his poor financial choices.
Chevrolet didn’t become part of General Motors until 1917, when Durant made one final attempt to repair his mistakes by offering Chevrolet stock shares to General Motors. After this, Durant temporarily regained control over GM. Roughly 2 years later, Pierre DuPont booted Durant out, and Chevrolet remained a General Motors brand.
Since its early start, Chevy has developed several truck lineups, including the 3100 Series, the C/K Series, and the current Silverado lineup.
Chevy now produces the following trucks:
- Chevy Colorado
- Chevy Silverado 1500
- Chevy Silverado 2500
- Chevy Silverado 3500
The Colorado is great for casual truck driving and minor towing. This is the type of truck you’d use to tow a fishing boat or haul an ATV. Its lightweight design makes it the best Chevy truck for off-roading as well. The Silverado 1500 is the standard truck option that handles all your average tasks. When you need heavy-duty lifting, you’ll want to stick with the Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD models.
Used Ram Trucks
Originally owned by Dodge, Ram’s legacy started much later than Chevy’s in 1981. Dodge is a Chrystler-Owned company that began in 1914 thanks to John and Horace Dodge, two automotive-savvy brothers who actually originally worked with Ford. Dodge didn’t get around to making the Ram until the 1980s. The first through third-generation Ram models were still Dodge-owned trucks.
After years of being under Dodge, Ram became its own entity in 2009 for its fourth generation, parented by Stellantis. Since then, Ram manufacturers have been able to focus solely on Ram trucks without the need for car or SUV development. Unlike Chevrolet, Ram does not include any midsize truck options; however, Ram follows the same 1500, 2500, and 3500 truck sizing pattern.
You can now purchase the following Ram trucks:
- Ram 1500
- Ram 1500 Classic
- Ram 1500 TRX
- Ram 2500
- Ram 3500
- Ram Chassis Cab (Commercial)
Ram’s heavy-duty options are the 2500 and 3500 models. The TRX is off-road-specific, and the 1500-level trucks are similar to the F-150 and Silverado 1500, designed for average towing and hauling.
Used Ford Trucks
We all know that Ford has an impressive history, thanks to the historical Ford Model T. Founded by Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company first began in 1903. Before that, Ford’s first automotive creation was a quadricycle—a 4-wheeled cycle powered by a four-horsepower engine. His intelligence excelled quickly upon Ford Motor Company’s establishment, creating the Ford Model T automobile as soon as 1908.
Ford Motor Company produced its first truck in 1917, the Ford Model TT. The first-generation Ford F-Series began way back in 1948, and the series has been going strong since. The midsize Ford Ranger also appeared early on in 1982 when it was developed as a competing model to smaller pickup trucks produced in Japan. Both the Ranger and the F-Series are still produced today, with the F-Series remaining America’s top-selling truck.
You can purchase the following used Ford truck models:
- The Ford Maverick
- The Ford Ranger
- The Ford F-150
- The Ford F-150 Lightning (All Electric
- The Ford F-250 (Super Duty)
- The Ford F-350 (Super Duty)
The Maverick is a compact truck that’s even smaller than the midsize Ranger. The F-150 is the commonplace average truck, comparable to the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. For all your heavy-duty labor, you’ll want to stick with Ford’s Super Duty models.
Used Toyota Trucks
A Toyota Motor Company-owned brand, Toyota has been in the truck market since 1935 under “Toyoda.” Kiichiro Toyoda officially incorporated the company in 1937. While Toyota’s truck development began early on, Americans didn’t see a Toyota truck model until 1964 with the Toyota Stout. These “mini trucks,” which we’d now call compact, were designed with off-roading in mind rather than towing and hauling. Now, Toyota sticks with midsize and full-size trucks.
You can purchase the following Toyota truck models:
- The Toyota Tacoma
- The Toyota Tundra
The key difference between these Toyota truck models and the brands mentioned above is that the Toyota trucks are on the smaller end and are not available in heavy-duty models. If you’re looking for a used heavy-duty truck, you’ll want to stick with Chevy, Ford, and Ram. Otherwise, these two Toyota trucks are great for off-roading and average towing/hauling.
