What mileage is too high for a used truck?

Since today's trucks are built to last longer than ever, there's no reason to fear buying a used truck for sale in Terre Haute. Most modern trucks for sale near you will last at least 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. Trucks will typically last longer than the average sedan, as they're built with more durable components.

Is it hard to drive a full-size truck?

Driving a truck is quite different than driving a smaller vehicle. Make sure to be mindful of the following when you're behind the wheel of any truck for sale.

• 
  

  Trucks can have larger blind spots than other vehicles, so it's important to be cautious.

  
  


• 
  

  Large trucks also limit your field of vision when reversing.

  
  


• 
  

  You won't be able to stop on a dime in a full-size truck, so brake well in advance to avoid shredding your brake pads.

  
  


• 
  

  Trucks need more space to execute turns, so you'll want to practice to understand your turning radius.
