is there a better way to find a used truck than Autotrader of Craigslist?

Fakebook Marketplace.... I don't think you need an account to see it.
yeah, same results
Good used trucks are hard to find. When I was looking they had 300k miles or body damage or rust.

Yep, facebook marketplace, is the new craigslist
Do the dealers have a better way to find what's out there than me sitting here looking all over the net?
I'm looking something specific.

how new of a truck are you looking for? Carvana has a pretty good search, i assume large places like carmax would as well.
2018 or newer. Reg cab short bed, 4wd - no work trucks
Tough business. My family has been in it well over 40 years.
I love RCSB trucks but they are getting harder to find everyday. Call Jimmy Gibson at Capital Chevy in Raleigh. If there is one around he'll find it.
You could try Jerry Hunt, I think all they do is trucks.

Nope they do more than trucks, but high mileage and prices.

CarGurus is how I found my truck. It was the easiest way I found.

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at a standard cab truck. Just did a quick search. Wow…. Those things are pricey!
Best advise I can give, branch out too 500 miles and see what’s out there. My last 6 vehicles have been online purchases. Negotiations through email is a great tool at your disposal. You can explain exactly what your wants are and can take your time answering them.
I bought my last truck in Huntington WV. Was working with dealerships in Va and Pa and Ohio. The dealership in Wv was more motivated then the rest.

define how "used" you are looking,,, that will drive where to look
when I got to get a "new to me" vehicle, it usually has 16,000 t0 20,000 miles
last three trucks I have bought (my 2014, my wife's 2020 Colorado, and my 2020) all had 17,000 miles
it's a sweet spot for me for cost versus life

You may hate this idea…but we were getting really good deals from enterprise buying fleet trucks from them. They are all technically work trucks….but about half of them were not base models. It may be worth a phone call. The only issue i can think of out of any of them was broken exhaust manifold studs. They were good trucks.

Fastenal sells their trucks. Think a member has bought from them before. If you don't mind white.
A company here in town that I worked for bought some Fastenal trucks. They never changed the oil it them. something like 40k miles on the factory oil
Some of those were purchased as well. Never had an issue with them.

orked at dealership and used Enterprise as our rental company. The deal was they service their vehicles there. We couldn’t even get them to do recalls. Their thoughts and I understand is that if the vehicle is in the shop it’s not on the road making money. Each branch is different of course but before I purchased from any company selling their fleet I’d have it checked out.

Don’t know what brand you are looking for but I had to make a run down to Easley SC this morning and Mike Hovart Chevy had a nice red RCSB 4x4 Chevy sitting on the used side, I wanna think it was a 2019 on the windshield, I tried to look on the interweb for you but they hadn’t got it on the website yet
