Used Truck Dealership
Did you know that unlike the trucks you’ll find at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet of Vinita, your used truck dealership, the first truck wasn’t a huge success? German innovator Gottlieb Daimler had high hopes in the late 1890s when he converted the horse-drawn cart into a truck, which promised more capability than the traditional horse and buggy. At the time, however, sedans reigned supreme as the wealthy embraced the luxury and freedom of traveling in style. Trucks would have to earn their place and prove their practicality.
Over the next few years, Daimler improved his design, and by the 1910s, the truck was slowly building its reputation around the world. This early model truck paved the way for automakers and led to the introduction of capable workhorses from the likes of Chevy, Ford, Ram, Toyota, and others. These are the trucks you’ll find in our extensive inventory of used trucks right here at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet.
While the truck got off to a rocky start, its gradual rise to success is truly remarkable and proves that even an underdog can overcome the odds and achieve greatness. We see that greatness all around us today thanks to models like the Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tacoma, all of which you’ll find at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet––your premier location for used trucks.
Do You Need a Hard-Working Truck? We’ve Got It!
Are you looking for a hard-working truck that will answer all the demands of the road without breaking a sweat? We’ve got plenty of capable workhorses to choose from right here on the lot at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet. You’ll find that capability and performance go hand-in-hand in trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500, and Ford F-150.
Chevrolet, Ram, and Ford are all known for delivering exceptional road warriors that work with you and for you to get the job done. Models like the Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, and F-150 are icons on American roads because of their reputation for logging hundreds of thousands of miles with ease. Newer models even feature innovative tools like multifunctional tailgates, integrated bed steps, tie-downs, and integrated electrical outlets in the bed to make your job easier whether you’re accessing the bed, running power tools, or securing a bulky load.
What’s truly remarkable about Chevy, Ram, and Ford is that these automakers build hard-working trucks that are incredibly versatile. For you, a day of hard work might mean towing equipment around the ranch or a trailer full of landscaping equipment from one job site to another. For someone else, that might mean exploring a new trail and pushing the truck to its limits. This versatility is why you’ll find used trucks offer a wide variety of powertrain options and equipment packages like GMC’s AT4 trim or Toyota’s TRD Pro that deliver the power, capability, and even the off-road prowess you need in a truck destined to work hard.
Do You Want a Luxurious Truck? We’ve Got It!
One of the most remarkable aspects of shopping for a truck is that performance and capability are no longer mutually exclusive with luxury and comfort. Decades ago, trucks were designed as utility vehicles meant to get a job done. Today, trucks seamlessly blend that capability with luxury, which means they’ll work hard and keep you comfortable wherever the road leads.
GMC and Ram offer two of the most luxurious lineups of trucks. GMC’s Denali trims deliver opulent, detailed interiors that are fit for a king or queen. Denali trucks are typically outfitted with leather interior, heated seats, and sophisticated details, from high-quality accents to exclusive badging and stitching. They also come with GMC’s comprehensive suite of connectivity and safety technology, which adds considerable value to the truck, especially when you find a GMC Denali on the used lot. You’re getting even more truck for your money!
Like GMC, Ram trucks are also known for delivering plenty of luxury. This luxury is apparent on every trim but is especially apparent on the Limited, which is Ram’s top-tier trim. The Limited raises the standard of luxury by outfitting the truck with high-end leather seats, premium accents and fine details, and plenty of storage solutions throughout the cabin. There’s also no shortage of intuitive technology, which varies based on model year and, like the GMC Denali, sweetens the deal when you find a Ram Limited in our pre-owned inventory.
Do You Need an Affordable Truck? We’ve Got It!
Shopping for a used truck can be overwhelming when you’re on a strict budget and don’t have a lot of confidence in the dealership. The used car market is saturated with overpriced models, which means most big dealerships are focused on making the sale and moving the inventory rather than listening to what you truly need. That’s not what you’ll find at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet.
We know that every customer has a unique financial background, and that’s why we go to great lengths to deliver a wide selection of used trucks. Our team diligently works to ensure that we have trucks that meet a variety of needs and budgets, from luxury rigs and workhorses to practical trucks that deliver the most value for your dollar.

You’ll also find that we’re not a “cookie cutter’ dealership where one size fits all. We’re here to get to know you, what you need and want in a truck, and the budget that works best for you. As we build a relationship with you, we’ll do everything possible to stay within that budget and help you find the perfect truck on our used lot. Our finance team will help you navigate the sale so that you know exactly what you’re paying for and what to expect from your monthly payments. There are no surprises when you shop with the Jay Hatfield Chevrolet team.
Do You Want an Off-Road Truck? We’ve Got It!
If you are interested in going off-road, then few vehicles can compare to the kind of performance and capability that a great truck can deliver. Best of all, you do not even need to worry about major aftermarket changes or add-ons a lot of the time––many trucks come straight from the manufacturer, ready to hit the trail. A used truck is a fantastic way to save some money and get a vehicle that you can take off-road and enjoy everything that the gorgeous country around us has to offer you.
You can find impressive off-road trucks from most manufacturers these days, which means it is easier than ever before to get a pickup that can tackle challenging trails. Whether you are looking for a midsize model or a full-size option, there are great off-road trucks available from Chevy, Toyota, Ford, and more––all you have to do is know what to look for. You want to find powerful engines that will not let you down on the trail, along with four-wheel drive and all-terrain tires. Most brands and models have specific trims designed to go off-road, which include skid plates, off-road suspensions, and more.
If you find a used truck that you like but it does not have the off-road features that you want, then there are a wide range of aftermarket options that can help you get the most from it. You can have skid plates installed on the underside of your pickup and swap to larger, all-terrain tires in order to have better control and traction on the trail. Aftermarket suspension is available, and we can help you find the perfect options that will transform your work truck into an off-road beast. No matter what you are looking for, with our team at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet of Vinita by your side, we will make sure you find it.
Do You Want a Diesel Truck? We’ve Got It!
Although diesel trucks are not for everyone, they are the perfect option for people who need a truck that can handle even more work than a standard gas engine. Not only do diesel trucks deliver impressive amounts of towing capacity, but they are also among the most reliable options on the market. While going with a diesel engine does have some potential drawbacks to consider, the benefits for those who need them tend to far outweigh any issues. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that a truck, even a used truck, with a diesel engine will typically cost more than a truck with a gas engine––but you get a lot of perks for this extra upfront cost.
Even beyond the impressive performance that diesel engines deliver, they are highly sought after by many people due to how reliable and dependable they are. There are some key differences in how diesel engines work, which include the use of pressure ignition rather than spark ignition to cause the explosions that drive the pistons in the engine. Due to these differences, diesel engines are built to withstand a tremendous amount of use, so they keep working a lot longer than many gas engines. This means that a used diesel engine can be a fantastic investment, particularly if you need one for a commercial fleet or for use as an independent contractor.
Diesel engines are also well known for being significantly more efficient than most gas engines that you will find in trucks. The biggest perk here is that they do not have to sacrifice their capability and performance for this boost in efficiency, which you might discover with some gas engines designed with fuel economy in mind. A used diesel truck, even one with 100,000 miles on it, can save you money both in terms of its initial cost and long-term fuel costs while giving you reliable performance for many years to come.
The Benefits of Shopping With Jay Hatfield Chevrolet
When shopping for an affordable used pickup, choosing a used truck dealership with a fantastic selection of different models is the best way to go. You might be tempted to go with a private seller in order to save as much money as possible, and in fairness, private sellers are often the cheapest option out there. However, the drawbacks to buying from a private seller rather than a respected dealership are significant and can create a lot of hassles and problems for you in the long run.
For one thing, private sellers are not held to any kind of professional standards the way that a dealership is. In order to operate in Oklahoma, dealers have to meet a long list of requirements to get a license, as well as follow regulations and laws about doing business honestly and treating customers appropriately. A private seller that you find online does not have to follow any such regulations or rules and is not held to any kind of professional standards. This can be very important if you buy a truck that seems like a great deal, only to discover that someone tricked you into buying a lemon––good luck tracking that person down again.
When you shop with us at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet of Vinita, however, you know that you are working with people you can trust who will be here for you for many years ahead. Our reputation speaks for itself, and we pride ourselves on delivering fantastic customer service with terrific used trucks at a wide range of prices. One of our pre-owned pickups will treat you well, go easy on your budget, and work hard for you as a reliable truck that you can always count on.
Proper Truck Maintenance
A great used truck that you can rely on for both work and your days off is truly invaluable, but knowing that you can always count on your pickup requires taking proper care of it. Service and maintenance might not be the most exciting part of truck ownership, but the difference that correct and timely service for your pickup makes is remarkable. With a used truck, since you can never know everything it has been through before, it is even more important that you take proper care of it to ensure it treats you well for many years to come.
Here at Jay Hatfield Chevrolet of Vinita, our certified service center and parts department are ready to assist you with everything you need so you can get the most from your truck for a long time. One of the most important things you can do for your pickup is to follow the recommended service schedule provided by its manufacturer. You will typically find this in the owner’s manual for your truck, though if you are unsure of it, then give us a call, and we will help you figure out how often it needs service. Routine maintenance includes things like oil changes, filter changes, rotating your tires, checking your brakes, and much more.
By following the service schedule for your truck, you can ensure it remains in excellent condition and keeps running well for a long time. One important thing to remember, however, is that trucks often have a lot more asked of them than other vehicles like sedans or family SUVs. If you do a lot of towing or like to take your truck off-road, then you will need to consider the extra strain that it puts on your pickup. Your manufacturer should provide a service schedule for trucks used in severe conditions or exposed to a lot of dust––be sure to keep this in mind and have maintenance performed more frequently if you demand a lot from your truck.
