Compared to cars, used trucks deliver truly impressive cargo solutions. No matter how much cargo you plan to haul, you can find a truck that suits your daily needs. For example, the Ford F-150 offers several different bed options. The short bed is 5.5-feet long, giving you plenty of space for home improvement supplies or sporting goods. If you plan to haul cargo for work-related purposes, check out the F-150's 8-foot long bed.

When you stow cargo supplies in the back of your pickup truck, it's easy to secure them for safe hauling. You can also add a wide range of accessories to give you easier access to cargo. Add a locking toolbox to your bed to organize items and keep them safe from would-be thieves. Modern Ford trucks offer high-tech convenience features, including LED bed lights to help you load and unload cargo after sunset.

Ford pickup trucks give you plenty of power for hauling heavy loads. The F-150, for example, offers several engine options - all of which are extremely capable. The base 3.5-liter V6 produces 283 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. With this engine, you can tow up to 7,600 pounds. Next up is a turbocharged 2.6-liter V6 engine that's rated for 325 horses and 375 pound-feet of torque. Use the 5.0-liter V8 engine to haul even heavier loads. It produces 385 horses and 387 pound-feet of torque. The line's most powerful engine is a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, which produces 365 horses and 420 pound-feet of torque. Use this setup to tow up to 12,200 pounds.

If you load up your car with cargo, you'll likely notice a performance drop. That isn't the case with pickup trucks, which are designed to move impressive cargo loads. When you choose a used truck, you're getting a powertrain designed to move both a cabin full of passengers and a loaded bed at once. You'll find that pickup trucks haul heavy loads with ease. A fully stocked truck bed won't affect performance, on-road or off.

If you're shopping for a used vehicle, be sure that you're selecting the best option to suit your cargo needs. Pickup trucks offer substantial space for a wide variety of items. Load them up and use your truck's innovative cargo solutions to secure and organize that cargo. On the road, you don't have to worry about sluggish performance.
