Used Pickup Trucks for Sale Under $38,000

Choosing a pickup's engine under $38,000: V6 or V8

On a pickup, the engine choice gives the vehicle its character and determines its aptitude for certain tasks. The classic debate pits the V6 against the V8, joined today by turbocharged engines. Understanding what each brings, qualitatively, helps you choose the powertrain that matches your real use.

What each powertrain brings

Pickups offer different powertrains, each with its temperament:

• The V6 engine: often more frugal and lighter, it is ample for everyday uses.
• The V8 engine: known for its character and generosity, favoured for heavier work.
• Turbocharged engines: a modern alternative aiming to pair efficiency and performance.
• Choosing by use: everyday use gets along well with a V6, demanding work values a V8.

V6, V8 or turbo, the right engine is the one that matches your use. The powertrain filter helps spot pickups by engine.
