What is Certified Pre-owned?
All certified pre-owned trucks are used, but not all used trucks are certified pre-owned. Peterson Trucks offers a wide selection of high-quality used trucks for sale, but International Certified Pre-Owned sets the bar for reliability.
When you buy International Certified Pre-Owned, you’re getting a truck or tractor that’s backed by warranty protection, thorough inspections, and other extras you won’t find on your average used commercial vehicle.
The International Certified Pre-Owned Program offers some of the highest value on the used truck market with a warranty that’s nothing short of industry-leading. Every International Certified Pre-Owned truck is backed by the following benefits:
