Why TruckSided

Most listing sites
work for dealers.
We don't.

The big listing sites make money when dealers sell trucks. Their "advice" is inventory listings with a filter. TruckSided makes money when buyers are happy — that's a very different incentive.

Typical listing sites
✗Revenue comes from dealer listing fees, not buyer outcomes
✗Users widely report fraudulent listings and scam contacts*
✗Filter pages and inventory lists — no real buying advice
✗No real-world towing or payload expertise
✗AI features designed to help dealers close deals faster
✗No warnings about known problem years or engines to avoid

How it works

Three steps to
the right truck

No filter pages. No browsing 3,000 listings. Just smart questions and a straight answer.

01
Tell us what you actually need
Towing, hauling, daily driving, off-road — we ask the real questions: how much do you tow, what's your budget, new or used, how many miles are acceptable. Takes 2 minutes.
02
Get a real recommendation
Not a list of 200 trucks. One top pick and one runner-up — with specific model years, which engine to get, what to avoid, and a straight-talk price range based on your budget.
03
Ask anything
Chat with our AI advisor after your recommendation. Ask about known mechanical issues, how to negotiate, what to inspect before buying, how to spot a scam listing. We've got you.

"Looking at a 2019 F-150 with the 5.0. Seller says it's 'well maintained' but I have no idea what to look for. Is there a checklist somewhere? Don't want to get burned on a $35k truck."

"Dealer told me I need the 6.4 Hemi for towing my 8,500 lb trailer. My buddy says the 5.7 is fine. Who's right? Tired of getting different answers everywhere I look."

"AutoTrader listing looks perfect but the guy wants me to send a Zelle deposit to 'hold it.' Everything about this feels wrong but I don't want to lose the truck. Is this a scam?"

"Budget is $40k. I want something I can tow my boat with on weekends and use as a daily. Should I go new or used? Half ton or 3/4? There are too many options and I'm going in circles."
