Our Favourite Trucks for Fall in Michigan: Art Moehn Staff Picks
Fall in Michigan is truck season. Cooler mornings, changing leaves, football weekends, hunting trips, home projects, and unpredictable weather all make a capable pickup especially useful this time of year.
Whether you need serious towing strength, a versatile midsize truck, or something comfortable enough for the daily commute, the Art Moehn Auto Group has plenty of options for trucks for sale in Michigan. From Chevrolet favourites like the Silverado and Colorado to the uniquely versatile Honda Ridgeline, here are a few of our favourite trucks for fall.
The Chevy Silverado 1500: Our All-Around Pick
If we had to pick one truck capable of handling a little bit of everything, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 would be hard to beat.
The 2026 Silverado offers four available engines, including the TurboMax™, available V8s, and Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel. When properly equipped, it offers up to 13,300 pounds of maximum available towing capacity, making it ready for trailers, boats, equipment, and plenty of fall projects.
The Durabed also gives you plenty of utility for hauling firewood, landscaping supplies, tailgating gear, or everything you need for a weekend away.
Our fall pick for: Towing, hauling, work, and drivers who want a true do-it-all full-size pickup.
The Chevy Colorado: Our Adventure Pick
Want truck capability in a more maneuverable package? Meet the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado.
The midsize Colorado combines everyday practicality with a truck bed and available configurations geared toward more adventurous driving. Art Moehn's current 2026 lineup includes trims such as the LT and rugged Z71, powered by the TurboMax™ engine.
Its smaller footprint also makes it an appealing option if your week involves commuting and errands but your weekends involve trails, campsites, gear, and getting out of town.
Our fall pick for: Weekend adventurers and drivers who want pickup versatility without moving up to a full-size truck.
The Chevy Silverado HD: Our Heavy-Duty Pick
Some fall jobs call for more muscle. For serious towing, hauling, commercial use, and demanding workloads, look toward the Chevrolet Silverado HD lineup.
Art Moehn's Chevrolet truck selection includes Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD models alongside the light-duty Silverado 1500. Whether you're hauling equipment before winter arrives or regularly towing heavier loads, a Silverado HD gives you a truck designed with demanding jobs in mind.
Our fall pick for: Contractors, heavy towing, commercial use, and the biggest jobs on your autumn to-do list.
The Honda Ridgeline: Our Everyday Comfort Pick
Not every truck owner needs heavy-duty towing or an enormous pickup. For drivers who prioritize everyday comfort and versatility, the Honda Ridgeline offers a different take on truck ownership.
The 2026 Ridgeline pairs a 3.5L V6 with all-wheel drive, while the available TrailSport trim adds an adventure-ready edge to the lineup.
It's a particularly appealing choice for drivers who want a pickup for weekend projects, outdoor gear, and Michigan adventures while still prioritizing a comfortable everyday drive.
Our fall pick for: Daily driving, family life, weekend projects, and drivers who want the versatility of a truck with SUV-like comfort.
Which Fall Truck Is Right for You?
Your ideal truck ultimately comes down to what fall looks like in your world. If towing and traditional full-size capability top the list, start with the Chevy Silverado 1500. Need something even tougher? Consider a Silverado HD. For a smaller adventure-ready pickup, explore the Chevy Colorado, while the Honda Ridgeline is a smart choice for everyday versatility and comfort.
And with Michigan winter right around the corner, fall is also a great time to think about traction, tires, maintenance, and the features you'll appreciate once the first snow arrives.
