We find that going on an off-road adventure, such as camping, hiking or biking, is the best way you can enjoy all the features of your pre-owned lifted truck. But before you take it off-road, pack these essentials to ensure your safety and convenience.
First Aid KitThe American Red Cross recommends that you have a kit for your home and for your vehicle. The kit should contain at least 25 adhesive bandages, a couple of 5×9-inch absorbent dressings, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment packets, an emergency blanket, and other essentials. Be sure to regularly check if any medicines in the kit need to be replaced, as some of them have expiry dates.
Air CompressorAn air compressor is an absolute must if you go off-road. There will be times when you have to deflate your tires to as low as 8 PSI, to get more traction in snow, mud, or sand. After you’ve left the [...]
If you’re in the market for a used truck, you have something else to worry about apart from the vehicle’s condition. After perusing the lineup of used lifted diesel trucks for sale and checking off your inspection checklist, you need to complete some paperwork to make your purchase official.
Whether you’re buying from a private party or a dealer, these documents are necessary to legally transfer the property from the previous owner’s name to yours. The dealer usually handles the paperwork. But if you’re buying from a private party, you and the seller have to go to the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Secretary of State to finalize the transaction.
Paperwork for the TruckThese three documents are provided by the seller. It pays to be aware of what to look for in the following papers to ensure that the vehicle is in top shape.

The holidays are approaching, carrying blankets of snow with it. While off-road trips are often taken when the skies are clear, going off the beaten path during winter is just as exciting. And even if you’re not a fan of driving off-road, you may be forced to do so when you have to visit loved ones or retreat to your cozy winter cottage.
Your vehicle may be equipped to take on the roughest roads and the toughest of winters, but you may still need to add, adjust, or maintain a few things to make your drive comfortable and safe.
Safely SuspendedOne of the best things about getting a vehicle from a trusted lifted truck seller is that you’re guaranteed to have great clearance and suspension while off-roading. If you use your vehicle every day and use it to lift heavy loads, you may want to ensure that its suspension is in tip-top shape. You [...]
The United States is infatuated, no, in love with pickup trucks. Along with SUVs, it’s a staple vehicle in American media, from TV shows like Dukes of Hazard to classic films like No Country for Old Men.
And in a recent report by news outlet CNBC, 2017’s most popular vehicle for Americans earning $200,000 or more annually wasn’t a Ferrari, a Lambo, or a Mercedes. It was a Ford. The Ford F-150, to be exact.
CNN crowned the model as the most important vehicle in America. It’s not hard to see why. More than 32 million Americans bought the model, even with its hefty $53,000 price tag. The F-150 made up over a third of the company’s sales that year.
So what makes the pickup truck so desirable that it zoomed past its luxury-brand competitors?
It’s a Great Tool
Pickup trucks, before they became the suburban stars that they are today, were initially made to be utility [...]
There’s a truckload of advantages to going secondhand when it comes to your truck.
For one, they are definitely cheaper than getting them brand new, and they are actually sturdier than Sedans or smaller vehicles, often still with a good few years on them if well cared for.
Of course, as a pre-owned automobile, used trucks will also lug with them their fair share of problems, but finding a diamond in the rough isn’t as hard as it seems if you have a keen eye to spot the following telltale signs as to whether or not your secondhand truck is a treasure worth keeping.
Car BodyInspect a used truck for rusting first. While rust is inevitable and can be only just a cosmetic issue, rust in certain parts of a vehicle could be a sign of serious damage, as in rust in the floor pans, frame rails, wheels, muffler, and exhaust pipes. Check also [...]
Apart from the deep canyons, awe-inspiring rock formations, and majestic deserts, Arizona is known for its hot and arid weather. With temperatures rising above 100°F in the summer, it’s important to know how to keep yourself cool. Most people drink plenty of water, wear light and loose clothing, and take a bath multiple times.
But, as important as it is to keep your body temperature at a normal level, it’s also vital to keep your vehicles cool. Whether you bought a used truck for sale or your ride is new, the high AZ temperatures can lead to serious and pricey problems if your truck isn’t well-maintained.
If you haven’t already started, now is the best time to get your truck ready for summer by following these essential car care tips:
