Light Duty Other Pickup Trucks For Sale

About Other Pickup Trucks

The first pickups were created in 1913 when the Galion Allsteel Body Company of Galion, Ohio, began to do aftermarket conversions of Ford Model Ts to include hauling boxes. Today, pickups make up approximately 20% of all vehicles sold in the United States.

Pickup trucks are often categorized by their payload and towing capacities, such as 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton. These designations, which were once directly tied to the difference between a truck’s weight and its gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), are today used more as general descriptors to help consumers differentiate between trucks’ capabilities. In a way, you can think of 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton pickups as good, better, and best with regard to payload and towing capacity.

Features & Configurations

1-ton and 3/4-ton pickups often come with many of the features lawn care professionals need to haul heavy loads, including dual rear wheels, powerful diesel engines, fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitches, and trailer brake and taillight connections.

As with any vehicle purchase, you’ll need to take a close look at the specs to ensure a pickup meets your needs. For example, Ford’s popular F250 Super Duty comes in three cab configurations, two box lengths, five wheelbase lengths, single and dually rear-wheel configurations, and six trim levels, with a variety of gasoline and diesel engine options. It's also a good idea to consider whether you'll need a four-wheel-drive or two-wheel-drive truck.

Hybrid and battery-electric pickups are on the rise as well, as evidenced by the arrival of the Ford Maverick and the Ford F150 Lightning, and the announcement of the Chevy Silverado EV and the Ram 1500 REV.
