Just like the demand for speed boats and fishing boats is higher in the spring, the demand for used trucks is higher in the fall and winter.  Four-wheel drive used trucks are in particular demand due to the additional traction for driving in snow and on icy roads. Many used trucks are sold this time of year for people who like to hunt and need a truck to get them into remote areas or campgrounds. Another popular use for a good used truck purchase is hauling firewood for the holidays. Many people enjoy a cozy fire in the fireplace during the holidays and unless you can have the wood delivered, you need a truck. Many truck owners do not want to beat up the bed of their expensive new truck by hauling firewood so the alternative is to buy a decent used truck for chores like this. Even though we all know trucks are gas guzzlers, they are still in high demand this time of year and a good used truck will bring a premium price. If you have a used truck and have been thinking of selling it, now is the time.
