Used Chevy Trucks Near Me

A Brief History of Chevy Trucks

Before we talk about which models, in general, to keep an eye out for when looking at used Chevy trucks, let us take a moment to consider where we have come from with these pickups. Chevrolet has been in business for more than a century, with trucks available for the majority of that time. That means you will find a lot of used models out there, especially if you are potentially interested in classic or older vehicles.

For a lot of people, the Chevrolet Advanced Design models were the first trucks they saw on the road. These were introduced in 1947, following World War II, and became immensely popular among many drivers that needed a workhorse vehicle. This was followed in 1955 with the introduction of the Chevrolet Task Force, which was also quite popular, though it was only around for about four years.

One of the most popular models you will find if you look at older used Chevy trucks is the Chevy C/K, which was in production from 1960 to 2000. With 40 years available, there are still quite a few of these models out there, particularly the later-year versions from less than 30 years ago. These are still incredibly popular models, with older years being sought after by a lot of collectors, and new ones offering excellent performance and reliability if you are not worried about all of the latest bells and whistles.

As Chevy brought production of the C/K to an end at the close of the last century, it was replaced by the full-size Chevy Silverado, which has remained in production ever since. These are certainly among the most popular options on the road currently, so you will find a lot of them out there. Starting in 2004, the Chevy Colorado has been available as a midsize truck option, which has made the Chevy lineup stronger than ever before, though it was not produced in 2013 and 2014. The Chevy Avalanche was introduced in 2001 as an option built on a long wheelbase, though it only remained in production for just over a decade.
