What is a Conventional Truck?

Firstly, you’ll want to be able to spot a conventional truck, or curb sniffer, when you see it. These are big rig, heavy-duty trucks designed to haul tens of thousands of pounds. They’re also the most commonly used kind here in America. The cab is placed behind the engine, much like you’d find on a car or truck. This is opposed to other models where the cab is built over the engine, creating a flat front. 

There are a lot of benefits to choosing a conventional truck, including easier access to the engine. You’ll just have to lift the hood and everything you need to reach is right there. They’re also one of the safer options, since it distances the driver from the vehicles in front of you. There’s a reason they’re among the most popular choice in America, and these are just a couple of the reasons.

Why Buy Used?

Let’s face it, no matter how you try to haggle the seller, a conventional truck is going to be incredibly expensive. That’s why many buyers turn to used conventional trucks. Used vehicles of any kind are going to be significantly less expensive than their newer counterparts. The worst depreciation rates have already hit and you won’t have to shell out as much money for a rig with all the great features you need to haul loads. 

What to Look For

Just make sure you’re doing all your research ahead of time. When you find models you’re interested in, check out online reviews from other model year owners. They’ll let you know if you’ve found a keeper or one you should probably lose.

You’ll also want to ask the seller about maintenance records and incident reports. These can give you an idea of how well the vehicle was cared for with the previous owner and what to expect should you buy it. And, of course, a thorough inspection will also help you learn a little more about the quality of the rig.
