Used Trucks Under $25K at Kunes CDJR of Platteville

If you’re on the hunt for a dependable used pickup with unbeatable value, Kunes CDJR of Platteville has you covered. Our inventory includes several solid, work-ready options for under $25,000 — trucks that blend capability, comfort, and affordability in one package.

Among the standouts are three Ford F-150 models, each with unique strengths depending on what kind of driver you are. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly workhorse, a tech-savvy daily driver, or a V8-powered adventure companion, there’s a truck waiting for you here in Platteville.

Let’s take a closer look at these three great options and break down who each one is perfect for.

The 2008 F-150 STX is the definition of a reliable, budget-friendly pickup. With just over 109,000 miles on the odometer, this truck has plenty of life left for everyday driving or light-duty work. Under the hood sits a 4.6-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, providing steady performance for hauling supplies, towing small trailers, or tackling your daily commute.

The silver metallic exterior paired with a Medium Flint interior gives it a timeless, clean look that never goes out of style. Inside, you’ll find a simple, functional cabin that emphasizes durability and practicality — ideal for someone who values substance over flash.

• Low purchase cost: A great entry point into truck ownership for anyone on a budget. Perfect for contractors, students, or first-time truck buyers.
• V8 power: Delivers the muscle you need for moderate towing and hauling without breaking the bank.
• Dependable simplicity: Fewer electronics and complex systems mean less to maintain and more focus on performance.

• Rear-wheel drive only: Great for dry roads and mild weather, but not ideal for deep snow or heavy off-road conditions.
• Older model: Make sure to review its maintenance records — at this age, regular oil changes and transmission services make all the difference.

The 2008 F-150 STX is the right choice if you want a straightforward, capable pickup that won’t stretch your wallet and will keep working as hard as you do.

If you’re after modern comfort and features but still want to stay within a smart price range, the 2017 F-150 XLT with the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is a fantastic option. It boasts a 10-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, and a full suite of amenities you’d expect from a much newer truck.

With approximately 189,000 miles, it’s seen some use — but it’s also loaded with value. Features like heated seats, push-button start, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, backup camera, and a tow package make this truck just as comfortable on your daily commute as it is on a job site. The Magnetic Gray exterior and Medium Earth Gray interior strike a perfect balance between professional and rugged.

• Feature-packed for the price: You’ll enjoy modern connectivity, tech, and convenience that make daily driving a pleasure.
• All-season readiness: Four-wheel drive gives you the traction you need to face Wisconsin winters and off-road adventures with confidence.
• Proven engine performance: The 3.5L V6 EcoBoost delivers an excellent balance of torque and fuel efficiency.

• Higher mileage: At nearly 190k miles, it’s important to verify that key maintenance items (timing belt, fluids, transmission service) have been completed.
• Wear and tear: Expect some signs of use, but that’s to be expected at this price point — and our technicians inspect each vehicle to ensure long-term dependability.

This 2017 F-150 XLT is perfect for the driver who wants modern technology, full 4WD capability, and comfort without spending new-truck money. It’s equally at home on the highway or the worksite.

For those who crave classic V8 power, the second 2017 F-150 XLT in our lineup delivers in spades. Equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 Flex Fuel (FFV) engine, this truck puts performance first. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, it offers excellent towing and hauling strength — whether you’re moving equipment, pulling a boat, or heading up to the Northwoods.

With about 154,000 miles, this F-150 strikes a great balance between use and longevity. Its red exterior turns heads, while the Medium Earth Gray interior keeps things refined and comfortable inside.

• Classic V8 strength: Delivers that satisfying power and sound truck fans love — ideal for those who use their truck for heavy-duty tasks.
• Flex Fuel capability: Offers versatility in fueling, potentially saving money depending on local availability.
• Balanced mileage: Lower miles than the other 2017 model means more time before major servicing.
• 4WD capability: Adds confidence in tough conditions, from muddy trails to icy roads.

• Slightly higher running costs: Expect a bit more fuel consumption and possibly more maintenance expenses compared to a V6.
• Check usage history: As with any powerful truck, understanding how it’s been used (work vs personal) helps you plan maintenance accordingly.

This 2017 F-150 XLT is ideal for anyone who values performance, strength, and reliability — a truck that can handle serious jobs but still offers modern amenities and a comfortable cabin.

Here’s a quick decision guide to make choosing easier:

• On a budget and need reliability: The 2008 F-150 STX is your go-to choice — simple, sturdy, and affordable.
• Love modern tech and everyday comfort: The 2017 XLT (3.5L V6) gives you great features and 4WD at an accessible price.
• Want maximum power and capability: The 2017 XLT (5.0L V8) provides the muscle for towing, hauling, and long-term strength.

Each of these trucks delivers excellent value in its own way, and all come backed by the trusted inspection and service reputation of Kunes CDJR of Platteville.
