When you think of pickup trucks, rugged utility might come to mind. But today’s full-size trucks can offer as much comfort and sophistication as luxury sedans. For budget-conscious truck shoppers who want high-end features without the new-truck price tag, buying a used luxury trim is a smart move. At Monster Motors, we specialize in helping customers find premium trucks at competitive prices. Let’s explore some of the most coveted high-end trims on the used market and see how they compare.
Why Choose a Luxury Trim on the Used Market?
Luxury truck trims offer advanced technology, upgraded materials, and refined styling, but they also carry hefty MSRPs when new. Fortunately, used truck buyers can skip the depreciation hit and enjoy top-tier trucks for thousands less. Buying pre-owned from a trusted used truck dealership like Monster Motors ensures quality and value, with every vehicle inspected and backed by our warranty.

Denali (GMC Sierra 1500)
The Luxury Workhorse
The Denali trim on the used GMC Sierra 1500 blends upscale comfort with rugged capability. Signature features include:
- Premium leather seating with contrast stitching
- Real wood and aluminum interior accents
- Bose premium sound system
- Advanced safety tech (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control)
- Optional 6.2L V8 engine with 420 hp
Why It Stands Out: Denali trucks are known for their quiet ride, strong resale value, and rich interior appointments. If you want a luxury truck that still tows and hauls with ease, a certified pre-owned GMC Sierra 1500 Denali is a solid choice.
Average Used Price (2021-2023 models): $48,000 to $62,000
Limited (Ram 1500)
High-Tech and High-Class
The Ram 1500 Limited trim sets a high bar for interior luxury. Designed to compete with German sedans, it includes:
- 12-inch vertical touchscreen with Uconnect
- Real wood and leather interior finishes
- Harman Kardon audio system
- Air suspension for a smooth ride
- Power running boards
Why It Stands Out: The Ram Limited offers a cushy, quiet cabin and tech-loaded dashboard that rivals luxury SUVs. When you buy a used truck with the Limited trim, you get flagship quality without the flagship price.
Average Used Price (2021-2023 models): $50,000 to $64,000
King Ranch (Ford F-150)
Western-Themed Elegance
Ford’s King Ranch trim is a tribute to Texas ranch heritage, offering a blend of rugged capability and western luxury:
- Mesa leather seats with King Ranch logos
- Woodgrain accents and bronze trim
- 400-hp 3.5L EcoBoost engine (or available PowerBoost hybrid)
- Pro Trailer Backup Assist
- Heated rear seats and ventilated fronts
Why It Stands Out: If you like your luxury with a side of personality, the King Ranch brings warmth and unique design details. A used Ford F-150 King Ranch combines standout looks with premium comfort.
Average Used Price (2021-2023 models): $47,000 to $59,000
High Country (Chevrolet Silverado 1500)
Cowboy Cadillac Refinement
The High Country trim on the Chevy Silverado 1500 leans into stylish comfort with premium features such as:
- Two-tone leather seats with contrast piping
- 10-way power seats with heat and ventilation
- Head-up display and wireless phone charging
- Optional 6.2L V8 or Duramax diesel engine
- Chrome assist steps and trim accents
Why It Stands Out: The High Country offers a great balance between luxurious detail and reliable utility. It’s a favorite among those who want a refined interior without sacrificing power.
Average Used Price (2021-2023 models): $46,000 to $58,000
