<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe choice between buying a new or used farm truck will depend largely on the budget you have available. But this isn\u2019t the only factor that should influence you in your decision-making. Let\u2019s take a look at some other good reasons to consider buying used over new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affordability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you need the best bang for your buck, then going for a good quality used vehicle is a good choice. If you\u2019re worried about a warranty, then buy from a dealership that offers some guarantees to cover your purchase. You may need to pay a little extra for these, but they could be worth having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically adding optional extras when buying new can mount up real fast, and by adding just a few things you deem as essential, you can add tens of thousands onto the price. With a used truck, you can find one with the speck you want at a price that\u2019s affordable to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s be honest, buying new is wonderful; you have all of the manufacturer’s warranties, and hopefully, the vehicle will be reliable for a long time to come. However, you\u2019ll lose a massive amount of money as soon as you drive that shiny new toy off the dealer’s forecourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Build Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOne of the reasons trucks aren\u2019t just popular on farms, but with many other people, even as personal vehicles, is that they are built to last. By design, they are more durable than standard cars and can take a lot more punishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another plus for the older truck models is that they tend to be built more solidly than the latest ones coming off the production line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good example of this is a new Ford F-150 which has a body and truck bed made of aluminum. While this is great for rust prevention and low weight, it\u2019s not so good for taking a beating or withstanding a crash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The older F-150 is made of solid steel, making it a good deal stronger. Check out the construction specs of trucks carefully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depreciation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ve already touched on the big wedge of cash you\u2019re going to lose just by driving your shiny new truck off the dealer’s lot, around 20% of the purchase price, in fact. Depreciation is applicable to all vehicles over time, but it is less on used ones making them a smart investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try looking for a clean<\/a>, well-maintained vehicle<\/a> that has only had one previous owner and low mileage. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWarranty<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOne reason people like to buy new trucks is due to the warranties and extended warranties they get. It\u2019s perfectly possible to get a warranty on a used truck from a dealer. They may be shorter than for new vehicles but are still worth having if you need the security of that added protection against things going wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere are various ways of finding used trucks, looking in local advertising press, going to dealerships, or searching online. But if you want to minimize the legwork, you can try using websites such as AutoTrader or CarGurus to locate the perfect truck for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These sites allow you to use filters to really narrow your search requirements and specify things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Make<\/li>
- Model<\/li>
- Location<\/li>
- Year<\/li>
- Condition<\/li>
- Drive Type<\/li>
- Minimum to Maximum Price range<\/li>
- Mileage<\/li>
- Body Style \u2013 Truck<\/li>
- Tuck Cab Size<\/li>
- Truck Bed Length<\/li>
- Fuel Type<\/li>

- Cylinders<\/li>
- Features<\/a><\/li>
- Trim Level<\/li>
- Price Rating<\/li>
- Doors<\/li>
- Seller Type<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
By using sites like these, you\u2019ll be able to find what\u2019s available near you in the least amount of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve found a truck that looks ideal, then it\u2019s time to check it out. Before you go to view anything, ensure that the seller has a good rating in online reviews, that they are open to negotiation and that they have the vehicle history report, which includes any previous accident information and will let you see if the odometer has been tampered with to make the vehicle seem like it\u2019s covered fewer miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure that you\u2019re not pressured into buying if you\u2019re not 100% sure. Strongarm sales tactics may indicate that there are things you\u2019re not being told. An honest salesperson will give you any information you request freely and won\u2019t put undue pressure on you to close the deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the Best Month to Buy a Used Truck?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Statistics suggest that most people buy vehicles in fall and winter, but there is no real best month to buy a used truck. You can find bargains at any time of year, it is simply a matter of putting in the leg work and searching out the best deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some dealerships may hold annual sales to increase stock turnover. Keep a lookout for these or for special offers on particular vehicles at your local truck sales outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Makes a Truck a Farm Truck?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
According to the Code of Federal Regulations<\/a>, farm trucks must be ordinary vehicles that are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Issued with a license plate from the State clearly identifying it as a farm vehicle to law enforcement officials.<\/li>
- Only used by the owner of the vehicle, their immediate family members, and farm employees for activities required by the farm.<\/li>
- Used for agricultural purposes as necessary, including the movement of livestock, machinery, agricultural commodities, and supplies.<\/li>
- Not used as a vehicle for hire with the exception of a tenant transporting their landlord\u2019s crop share as part of a crop share agreement.<\/li>
- In the gross weight or combined gross weight rating as specified by the Federal Regulations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Additional rules may apply in individual States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A farm vehicle could be a pickup truck, truck<\/a>, tractor, van, trailer, or another large piece of specialist farm equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nInsurance for a farm truck<\/a> differs from that of a commercial truck, and this influences the cost of the insurance and the cover given by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDepending on the details of the insurance, it may be that the farm truck can only be used on the farm property. If a farm truck is to be driven on public roads<\/a>, the coverage level of the insurance must reflect this. The same applies if the vehicle is going to be used for private, personal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the Best Truck for a Farm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"What](\"https:\/\/farmandanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/truck-5673721_1280-1-1.jpg\")
