Why sell to Big Ugly Truck?

Because you want the truck gone — not another listing, another no-show, or another "maybe."

We’re a direct buyer, not a broker. You deal with us. We buy semi trucks (our specialty) plus box, dump, utility, vocational, dually, and pickup — as long as it’s complete. Clear title required. All 50 states. We come to you.

The pitch in three beats:

1. Straight deal — no auction fees, no middleman cut, no endless tire-kickers.

2. Honest process — photos to start, offer you can take or leave, pay at pickup.

3. We handle the hard part — pickup and title work so you’re not chasing buyers across town.

Ugly ones welcome. Pretty ones too. If the title’s in hand, we’re ready to talk.

About Hino Trucks in North America

Hino Motors, Ltd. is a Japanese truck and bus manufacturer that is a majority-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Hino has been selling trucks in North America since the mid-1980s with the F-Series cabover lineup. Today Hino trucks are manufactured at the company’s plant in Mineral Wells, West Virginia — the same facility that produces the L-Series conventionals and the XL-Series Class 8 trucks. A second plant in Woodstock, Ontario produces trucks for the Canadian market.

Hino’s connection to Toyota gives the brand a significant advantage in terms of engineering resources, quality standards, and dealer support. Toyota dealers often handle Hino truck sales in markets where dedicated Hino dealers are not present. The Hino 268 remains one of the most recognized medium duty conventional trucks in the North American market, and the 268 and 338 are frequently found in beverage distribution, box truck, and vocational applications throughout the country.
