Ford F-150: the king of used pickups in Quebec

First introduced in 1948, the Ford F-150 is a reliable, durable truck. You can choose from several V6 and V8 engines, and it offers impressive capabilities. It can tow up to 14,000 lb.

With a used F-150, you get strong resale value, and replacement parts are easy to obtain if something comes up.

The best years to buy a used F-150 remain 2009, 2011 to 2014, and 2017 and later. Avoid 2004 to 2008 due to Triton engines, as well as 2015 and 2016 with the introduction of the new aluminum body.

RAM 1500: luxury and performance at used pricing

The RAM 1500 offers advanced technologies, including a 14.5-inch display on newer models and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, among other things.

Comfortable and capable, the RAM 1500 is spacious, especially if you choose the Crew Cab.

For performance, the RAM 1500 offers a V6, a V8, or, more recently, an I6 Hurricane engine. At Occasion Kadri, you will find several pre-owned RAM 1500 for sale.

We recommend 2020 to 2025 RAM 1500 used models. They deliver performance and efficiency for work or leisure. 2014 to 2018 RAM 1500 used models are also worth considering.

Toyota Tacoma: small pickup, big reliability

If you are looking for a used Toyota truck for daily tasks, the pre-owned Toyota Tacoma is certainly a good choice.

The Tacoma is a midsize truck that consumes less than many full-size trucks (11.2 L/100 km). It will be useful if you need to make daily trips for light-duty work.

Reliable and durable, 2018 to 2025 used Toyota Tacoma models are a safe bet for shoppers seeking a more compact yet capable truck with a reasonable towing capacity (6,400 lb.).

GMC Sierra: the premium alternative worth a look

A used GMC Sierra is a full-size truck that is more refined than the Chevrolet Silverado, yet just as powerful and capable, with a towing capacity of up to 13,300 lb.

In Denali and Denali Ultimate trims, you will enjoy a sublime experience in terms of comfort and advanced tech, including its Bose sound system and a well-sized 13.4-inch touchscreen.

In short, the GMC Sierra is a used truck offering excellent value. Take advantage of flexible pre-owned financing today. 2018 and newer models should likely be considered first.

Chevrolet Silverado: rugged and affordable pre-owned

Unlike other used full-size trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado is a tough, sturdy pickup. Several trims are available. WT and LT trims are viewed as the most robust without too many superfluous features.

2018 and newer Chevrolet Silverado models are excellent choices, as are trucks from before 2014.

In short, the Chevrolet Silverado gives you a full range of efficient powertrains, an enviable towing capacity (13,300 lb.), and great versatility.

Criteria for choosing the best used pickup

  • Odometer reading: Avoid buying a truck with very high mileage on the odometer, ideally under 125,000 km.
  • Maintenance history: Do not hesitate to request the vehicle’s service booklet. You can see the repairs performed along the way and check whether the truck has received periodic maintenance.
  • Work or leisure: Ask the following question. What has been the truck’s primary use? Was it mainly used for jobsite work, or did the previous owner use it to tow a trailer to the campground?
  • Towing capacity: Ask one of our experts about the maximum towing capacity of the used pickup. This will be useful, especially if you need to tow heavy equipment.
