The Pacific Northwest was made for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re hauling gear to Mt. Hood, heading to the coast for the weekend, or towing a trailer out to the Columbia River Gorge, having the right vehicle makes all the difference. But which one fits your lifestyle best—an SUV or a truck?
At Bickmore Auto, we carry an impressive selection of both used trucks and used SUVs, and we’re here to help you make the right call based on how you live, drive, and explore.
When a Truck Might Be Your Best Bet
If your weekends involve hauling heavy loads, towing trailers, or tackling work-related tasks, a truck might be the more practical option. Consider a truck if you:
- Need a high towing capacity for boats, trailers, or campers
- Want a durable bed for hauling materials, bikes, or tools
- Prefer off-road capabilities with rugged suspension systems
- Use your vehicle for both work and recreation
Popular models like the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy Silverado are available now at Bickmore Auto—many priced below $10,000!
Why SUVs Are the Ultimate Adventure Companion
For drivers seeking versatility, interior space, and comfort, a used SUV might be your go-to. SUVs are ideal for:
- Families who need ample seating and storage
- Road trippers who want a comfortable ride with great gas mileage
- Outdoor lovers who value AWD capability and interior cargo flexibility
- Dog owners who want an easy-access vehicle with room in the back
Whether you’re loading up the family for a beach day or heading out solo with your paddleboard and camping gear, our selection of used SUVs has what you need.
