Used Pickup Trucks for Sale in St. Louis, MO

Start with the engine, because used F-150s came with several gas V6 and V8 choices, a PowerBoost hybrid on newer trucks and a diesel in some earlier years. Then match the cab and bed to how you use it, check whether it is 4×4, and look for the tow package if you pull anything. Ask us for the vehicle history and service records. Our team can point out what each trim and package added so you can compare trucks fairly.

It comes down to weight. If you pull a big fifth wheel, a gooseneck stock trailer or a heavy equipment trailer, a used F-250 or F-350 is built for that work and the stiffer ride is part of the deal. If you mostly tow a bass boat or a utility trailer and drive empty most days, a half ton F-150 is usually easier to live with. Tell us your heaviest load and we will check the actual ratings on the trucks you like.

They are different trucks. The Maverick rides on a unibody platform, drives a lot like an SUV and was offered with a hybrid, which makes it an easy commuter with a small bed for yard and hardware store runs. The Ranger is body on frame, offers 4×4 and is the stronger pick for regular towing or trail use. Drive both if we have them. Many people know which one fits within the first few miles.

A Power Stroke diesel earns its keep when you tow heavy and often, especially long pulls down I-44 or I-55 with a full trailer. For lighter or occasional towing, a gas engine usually costs less to buy and maintain, and it does not need diesel exhaust fluid or the same emissions upkeep. Look at how many miles a year you actually tow, then let us show you gas and diesel trucks side by side.

Look at the hitch receiver and ball mount for heavy wear, check the trailer wiring plug for corrosion and ask for service records showing transmission fluid changes. A vehicle history report helps, and so does a look under the truck for a fifth wheel or gooseneck mount. On the test drive, pay attention to how the transmission shifts under load. Our technicians can inspect any truck you are serious about before you sign.

On Ford trucks, look for the factory trailer tow package, an integrated trailer brake controller, a receiver hitch and the right wiring plug for your trailer. Extended tow mirrors and a higher axle ratio help if you pull something big. The towing rating depends on engine, axle ratio, cab, bed and drivetrain, so check the label on the driver door jamb and the Ford towing guide for that truck rather than guessing.

Not always. A truck with highway miles and steady maintenance can be a better buy than a low mileage one that sat or got abused. Ask for the service history, look at tire and brake wear, and check how the transmission and four wheel drive behave on the test drive. Price matters too, since a high mileage truck should cost noticeably less. Some qualifying trucks also get Warranty Forever coverage on the powertrain.

Yes. We sell trucks through Ford Blue Advantage, which has Gold Certified for qualifying Ford vehicles and Blue Certified, which can include other makes.

Qualifying used trucks we sell include it at no extra cost. On a used pickup that has already done some towing, powertrain protection on the engine, transmission and 4×4 driveline is a big part of buying with confidence. Ask which trucks in the feed qualify, then keep up with scheduled maintenance at a licensed shop and save the receipts to keep the coverage active.
