  • Heavy-Duty Pickup Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist

    A guided, do-it-yourself pre-purchase inspection checklist for used heavy-duty pickups: Ford F-250 to F-450 Super Duty, Ram 2500 and 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, gas or diesel. No mechanic needed: each check tells you what to look for and what counts as a fail, from the diesel engine, emissions system, transmission, front end, brakes and tires to fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches and plow equipment, plus known problems by make. For half-ton pickups, use our Light-Duty Pickup checklist.
