USED TRUCKS FOR SALE IN DENVER

THE SMART USED-CAR SHOPPER’S GUIDE TO BUYING LIFTED TRUCKS IN DENVER

Installing a lift-kit on your truck is a great way to gain a little altitude for getting over snow drifts and other obstacles, and the added height helps you look pretty cool, too. So it’s no wonder that you can get lifted trucks straight from the factory nowadays, ensuring the equipment is specifically engineered for the truck it's attached to. Of course, here at Auto Mart — the Dealer with a Heart — we get in lifted trucks from a variety of sources so you can tap into the excitement while enjoying pre-owned pricing.

WHY BUY A LIFTED TRUCK USED INSTEAD OF NEW?

Lifted trucks may seem a lot different from the typical pre-owned car, but one thing they have in common is that they’re subject to major depreciation. Almost any new vehicle, of any kind, loses 20% to 30% of its value due to depreciation in its very first year. And it keeps adding up, so that a five-year old used vehicle will have depreciated some 60% as compared to its value when new. That’s serious coin, but as a used-car shopper, you can consider it like a 60% discount versus the vehicle’s as-new MSRP. Then, since a pre-owned truck generally has a lower value than a new one, insurance companies are likely to offer you lower-priced coverage as well. A further advantage of buying a used truck — at least when you’re working with Auto Mart — is that you can enjoy these savings with confidence, knowing you’re getting a great deal from expert sales associates who are dedicated to treating you with respect.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS ON LIFTED TRUCKS

Beyond their lift kits, raised trucks can serve up many of the same luxuries and technologies as “regular” trucks, SUVs, and cars. In fact, with some of these machines, you may think you’re in a premium sedan! (Just remember that exact features will vary by model.)

• Heated and ventilated massage-function seats, heated steering wheels, real wood trim, and LED lighting are just a few of the first-class amenities you can find on these trucks.
• Many can also provide advanced safety features such as automatic braking and blind-spot monitoring.
• When you need to tow, camera-based trailering technologies let you take easy advantage of the trucks’ pulling power.
• Quite a few lifted trucks supply elevated levels of connectivity that can include 12-inch touchscreens, WiFi compatibility, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and wireless charging.
• Multifunction tailgates are becoming a must-have feature with power opening/closing, multiple configurations, and split tailgate doors.
• High-fidelity audio systems from the likes of Bose and Bang & Olufsen can bring pumped-up sound to our lifted trucks.
• For serious off-road performance, we can supply purpose-built trucks with hardcore four-wheel drive systems for the toughest terrains.

PURCHASING A USED TRUCK WITH A LIFT KIT

Almost any truck can be equipped with a lift kit, but perhaps the easiest option is to purchase one with the hardware put in by the manufacturer. That way, you’re getting a kit that’s engineered just for your truck and installed by the brand’s own experts. So a few of our favorites that are currently available in the pre-owned marketplace are listed below:

• Already a legend, the Ford F-150 Raptor welcomes a lifted long-travel suspension as part of a comprehensive off-road upgrade that can include FOX racing shocks, Recaro seats, and a multimode terrain management system.
• The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a midsize master of off-road excitement with nearly 2 inches of lift plus a Multimatic DSSV Damping System to smooth out the roughest conditions.
• If you prefer a heavy-duty lifted truck, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon is a raised-up and revved-up beast with an exclusive Articulink suspension, Bilstein shocks, and a 6.4-liter HEMI V8.
• The Toyota Tacoma TRD is tuned and lifted by Toyota Racing Development for unrelenting capability that can be complemented by a factory-installed snorkel-style desert air intake.
• Extra ground clearance, along with Bilstein shocks and an electronic locking rear differential, also helps the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X push your limits.
• The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon takes you where few other trucks dare to go thanks to its added ride height, Dana axles, front/rear locking differentials, and FOX shocks.
• With a factory-installed 2-inch lift kit, the GMC Sierra AT4 is your Professional Grade choice and supplies monotube Rancho shocks, a two-speed transfer case, and an automatic locking rear differential to handle whatever comes your way.
