Procuring a Used Truck – Don’t Rush: Here Is A Checklist For You

Don’t let anything rush you to make a decision. Know your exact price range & don’t deviate from the original plan. Spend about 45 minutes to 1 hour examining a used truck.

Here is a list of few points you should include in your truck examining checklist:

1. Examine a used truck only in daylight; even good lightning in the dark may hamper you from proper inspection. Make sure truck is at the ground level for it.

1. Check each opening & body panel. Run your hands along the bottom of the doors to check for rusty edges.

1. Check the roof & if you find any raised spot; it clearly indicate rust underneath. Closely check the panels along with the body from front to back if they are uneven or wavy.

1. Look at the tires to find any leakage and tread wear.

1. Raise the hood to check the radiator cap & have a look at the coolant fluid. Be sure green in color if not than it may b rust & can cause overheating of the engine.

1. Start the engine & make sure there are no thuds & knocks. It’s best to get a mechanic to check the engine & get his nod on the same as you are not the expert in this domain.

1. Drive the used truck for at least 10 minutes, shut it off for some time & let it cool. Start it again & if it hesitates to start off then there can be some problem.

1. Drive at a safe place & apply panic brakes to check if the brakes are behaving properly or not. Next, try a rough road to see if the shocks control after bouncing.

1. Check all switches and extras on the used trucks (lights, air, etc.)

1. Shut off the motor, open the trunk, raise the mat and look for rust. Some light rust will be present even on new trucks, but keep an eye out for more severe corrosion
