Once you've driven a Chevy truck, it can be hard to see yourself in any other pickup truck. They're reliable, well-constructed, good-looking, and designed to get the job done…no matter what that job might be. With plenty of room in the cabin and the bed, and the ability to handle impressive load sizes, it's clear that Chevy had the driver in mind when they built the Silverado, the Silverado HD, and the Colorado. But what if you're not in the business of buying brand new trucks? Perhaps the time has come to leave the used ads behind and check out the latest inventory at North Park Chevrolet, your Certified Pre-Owned Chevy dealer. Despite being one of the most important resources in any lifestyle, trucks are admittedly not cheap. Many of our customers need to find a vehicle that's durable and dependable within a certain budget. Like any responsible shopper on a budget, you've likely spent time searching the used ads for a Chevy truck with low mileage, not too old, and enough life left to make it a sound investment. When you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Chevrolet from us, you can rest assured that you're buying the cream of the crop when it comes to a used truck. Take a look at what makes a Certified Pre-Owned Chevy truck a wise use of your money and time. more What Makes a Certified Pre-Owned Truck "Certified?" When someone certifies something, they're putting their name and reputation at stake with that particular item. Therefore, when Chevy certifies a pre-owned truck, it's stating that this truck lives up to the manufacturer's standards enough that Chevy is willing to stand by it. Those may seem like big words from a company as large and prominent as Chevy, but the fact remains that only certain trucks earn certification. In order to be considered for certification, a used Chevy must be within the six previous model years and have driven a maximum of 75,000 miles. If a recent model year truck is important to you, this is definitely an option to consider. And if finding a vehicle with low mileage is icing on the cake, then Certified Pre-Owned is exactly right for finding your next ride. However, not just any low mile, newer truck will make the grade. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles include a few significant incentives from the manufacturer, so Chevy has to be absolutely certain there aren't any mysterious problems lurking beneath the glossy surface. Each pre-owned truck that meets the requirements for certification must undergo a full 172-point inspection, in which every aspect of the vehicle is thoroughly checked by one of our Chevy-trained technicians. If any issues are found, the truck will be reconditioned according to the manufacturer's exacting standards. Lastly, every Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet must have a clean title and pass a CARFAX vehicle history report, which is made available for you, the future buyer, to review. What Chevy Provides for CPO Pickup Truck Drivers Why is it so important for Chevy to be sure enough of these vehicles to put them through such rigorous tests? Because Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with a bevy of benefits that not just any used truck deserves. Remember, these benefits are backed by Chevy, not us here North Park Chevrolet, and are good at any Chevy dealer in the country. There are two factory-backed warranties offered with each CPO Chevy truck. The first is a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, which extends the original New Car Warranty that the vehicle received when it first drove off the lot. With no deductible, this coverage offers protection for nearly all parts of the vehicle, though some more unavoidable things, such as tire wear or damage from poor maintenance, are not included. Drivers will also receive a 6-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, which covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. This warranty starts on the date the vehicle was originally in service and extends until six years from that sale date, or once the odometer rolls over to the 100,000th mile. Along with the Powertrain Limited Warranty is Roadside Assistance, which provides 24-hour help with issues like lockouts, tire blowouts, and battery jumps. You'll also receive Courtesy Transportation, which includes reimbursement of rentals or a complimentary loaner vehicle when you visit our certified service center for major repairs. Chevy also throws in two free scheduled maintenance visits at our service center within the first two years of 24,000 miles from the day you take ownership of the truck, along with three months of SiriusXM radio and a limited free trial of OnStar services. It's not quite everything and the kitchen sink, but Chevy's generous Certified Pre-Owned benefits make a strong case for shopping our CPO inventory.

Need a little more power from your truck? Consider the Silverado, one of the world's most famous trucks. Whether you're good with the 13,300 pounds trailering maximum of the Silverado 1500 or need to move up to the Silverado 2500 HD or Silverado 3500 HD for even more power, this family of trucks has been working hard for Americans since 1999.
