Used Trucks for Work, Weekends and Everything in Between
Used Trucks for Work, Weekends and Everything in Between
A good truck shouldn't only make sense Monday through Friday.
Maybe you need a bed for tools and equipment during the week, but you also want something comfortable enough for the daily commute. Maybe your weekends involve towing, home projects, camping, trails, or loading everything up for a trip.
That's where today's used trucks really shine.
At Dream Work Automotive in Charlotte, NC, our current truck inventory includes everything from comfortable full-size pickups to off-road-ready options. We picked five trucks that show just how different your choices can be.
2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star
The 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star is a great place to start for someone who wants a truck that doesn't feel like a work truck every time they get behind the wheel.
This particular Ram currently has 32,120 miles and was recently listed around $34,990, reduced from $38,749.
The Ram 1500 is an appealing all-around choice because it can give you the size and usefulness you expect from a full-size pickup while still making sense as an everyday vehicle.
Best for: The driver who needs truck capability but still wants something comfortable enough to drive every day.
2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali
Who says your work truck can't have a luxury side?
The 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali combines serious V8 power with the comfort and equipment of GMC's Denali trim. This truck currently has 54,658 miles and is listed at $36,499.
Under the hood is a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with 4WD and an 8-speed automatic. The current listing also shows a towing capacity of up to 9,100 pounds.
Inside, things get considerably more comfortable. This Sierra includes heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation, Bose premium audio, wireless charging and a sunroof. It also has an integrated trailer brake controller and trailering equipment.
Best for: Someone who wants V8 capability without giving up the features and comfort of a premium daily driver.
2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road
Not everyone needs a full-size pickup.
The 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road gives you truck versatility in a more manageable midsize package. The current Dream Work listing shows 44,642 miles and a recent price around $35,499, reduced from its original listed price of $38,999.
The TRD Off-Road name also tells you this Tacoma was designed with more than pavement in mind.
For someone who wants a pickup for weekend adventures, outdoor gear, projects, or everyday driving around Charlotte but doesn't necessarily need the footprint of a full-size truck, the Tacoma deserves a serious look.
Best for: Weekend adventures, off-road capability and drivers who want a midsize truck instead of a full-size pickup.
2020 Ford F-150 Lariat
The Ford F-150 has become a go-to choice for truck shoppers because it can take on so many different roles.
This 2020 F-150 Lariat is a particularly interesting example. It currently has 74,164 miles and is listed at $35,499. More importantly, it has a 5.0L V8 producing 395 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, 4WD and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Being a Lariat means the story isn't just about the engine. This truck includes heated and cooled seats, leather seating, navigation, a sunroof, adaptive cruise control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring and a tow package.
That makes it easy to picture this truck going from the job site to dinner without feeling like you're driving two completely different vehicles.
Best for: Someone who wants classic V8 truck capability with plenty of comfort and technology.
2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss
If you like your truck to look ready for the weekend before you've even loaded the bed, check out the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss.
This truck currently has approximately 70,525 miles and was recently listed at $32,149, reduced from $34,249.
The Trail Boss is an especially interesting option for someone who wants a full-size pickup with a more rugged personality. It gives you the everyday usefulness of the Silverado 1500 platform while leaning further into the off-road side of truck ownership.
It's the type of truck that can handle the commute during the week, a run to the home improvement store after work, and a completely different kind of drive once Saturday arrives.
Best for: Someone who wants full-size truck practicality with a tougher, adventure-ready feel.
Which Used Truck Is Right for You?
At Dream Work Automotive, we carry used trucks for more than one kind of driver. Our current inventory includes full-size and midsize pickups from manufacturers including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram and Toyota.
Whether you're hauling equipment during the week, tackling projects around the house, towing on the weekend, heading off the pavement, or simply want a truck as your everyday vehicle, it's worth comparing several options before deciding.
Your truck doesn't have to be just for work or just for fun. Find one that can handle both.
