Purple Wave auctions typically feature a wide range of 3/4 & 1 ton trucks from popular manufacturers such as Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, and RAM. You'll find models like the Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty; Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD; GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD; and Dodge/RAM 2500 and 3500 series trucks.

The main differences between 3/4 ton (2500 series) and 1 ton (3500 series) trucks are their payload and towing capacities. 1 ton trucks generally have higher capacities and are better suited for heavier loads and more demanding tasks. They often come with stronger frames, suspension systems, and more powerful engines to handle increased weight and stress.

These trucks typically come with powerful gasoline or diesel engines. Common options include V8 gasoline engines ranging from 6.2L to 7.3L, and diesel engines such as the 6.6L Duramax (GM), 6.7L Power Stroke (Ford), and 6.7L Cummins (RAM). Diesel engines are often preferred for their higher torque output and improved fuel efficiency under heavy loads.

Yes, 3/4 & 1 ton trucks are versatile vehicles suitable for both work and personal use. They offer the power and capability needed for heavy-duty tasks like towing large trailers or hauling heavy loads, while also providing comfort and features for daily driving and family use. Many models come with luxury amenities, especially in higher trim levels like Denali, King Ranch, or Laramie.

These trucks typically come in various cab and bed configurations. Common cab options include Regular Cab, Extended Cab (or SuperCab), and Crew Cab. Bed lengths usually range from about 6.5 to 8 feet. Some trucks may also feature utility beds, flatbeds, or other specialized configurations for specific work applications.

Purple Wave provides detailed descriptions and multiple photos of each vehicle, including information about mileage, features, and known issues. While we don't personally inspect or guarantee the condition of the vehicles, we strive to provide accurate and transparent information to help buyers make informed decisions. We recommend that potential buyers carefully review all available information and, when possible, inspect the vehicles in person before bidding.

When bidding, consider factors such as the truck's age, mileage, maintenance history, and overall condition. Pay attention to the engine type and any modifications or additions like utility beds or snow plows. Also, consider your specific needs in terms of towing capacity, payload, and features. Don't forget to factor in potential repair or maintenance costs, especially for older or high-mileage vehicles.

Purple Wave's no-reserve auctions mean that all items will sell to the highest bidder, regardless of price. This ensures a fair and transparent process for both buyers and sellers. Bids are placed online, and the auction closes at a specified time. The highest bidder at the close of the auction wins the item, subject to payment verification and any applicable terms and conditions.

Purple Wave provides detailed listings that typically include the truck's year, make, model, mileage, VIN, engine specifications, transmission type, features, and known issues or damage. When available, we may also provide information about the truck's previous use, ownership, and any significant modifications or upgrades. However, we always recommend that buyers conduct their own research and inspections to ensure the vehicle meets their needs.

Purple Wave does not directly offer financing, but buyers are welcome to arrange their own financing. We recommend securing financing approval before bidding, as full payment is typically required within a specified timeframe after the auction closes. Check our website or contact our customer service for more information about payment requirements and deadlines.
