If you are looking to purchase a solid, dependable pre-owned truck, used Ford trucks offer excellent value and exceptional reliability. The key question is which of the many used Ford trucks on the market is the right model for you?

The Ford F-series has been Canada’s biggest selling truck range for the past few years. The F-150 is one of the most versatile models in the used Ford trucks range. It comes in a variety of engine sizes and offers both manual and automatic transmission options, depending on the model you choose. The V6 engine generally offers more fuel economy than the V8 engine, so you need to decide whether your priority is power or running costs if you want to own one of these used Ford trucks. Another key choice you will need to make is around the cab size, as the F-150 is available with both regular cab and full-crew options.

When it comes to heavy duty work, the various Super Duty models (F-250, F350 and F-450) are the most powerful of the used Ford trucks. With the ability to tow an astounding 17,500 pounds and carry a three-ton payload, these used Ford trucks are exceptionally tough. However, ...
... their comfortable interiors also ensure that they are a joy to drive. There is surprisingly little engine noise in the cabs of these powerful used Ford trucks. If you need to cover rough ground during your work, or even when driving for pleasure, a used Ford Super Duty truck can easily cope with off-road terrain.

If you will be hauling relatively small loads, you may prefer to purchase a Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger is the smallest pickup in the range of used Ford trucks. It offers outstanding fuel economy, particularly if you opt for the V4 engine. However, if you are seeking a little more muscle, the V6 engine may suit you better.

Available to transport both cargo and people, the Ford E-series is a range of full-size vans based on a very traditional body shape. The E-150 can carry up to eight passengers, while the E-350 comes in twelve and fifteen passenger options. Cargo versions are available, if you will be hauling goods rather than people. The Ford Transit is the E-series’ smaller cousin. Based on the European model, the Ford transit is the ideal used Ford truck for city-based usage.
