Latest News, Tips & More | Dykes Motors

There's no shortage of trucks sitting on lots in Hattiesburg. But if you've been shopping around Forrest County, you already know the deal — most of those franchise lots are running the same auction trucks through the same detail bay and sticking the same markup on them. Petal and Hattiesburg buyers have been figuring that out.

Dykes Motors is in Collins, about 40 minutes south on Highway 49. We keep maybe 15 trucks on the lot at a time. Every one of them got picked on purpose.

Nobody's Chasing You Around the Lot

Big lots have guys standing at the door waiting on you. They don't care what you actually need. They just need to hit their number this month.

That's not how we run things. Come look. Pop a hood. Ask whatever you want. If you're going back and forth on diesel versus gas, we'll give you a straight answer. We actually wrote that one up — diesel vs gas, which used truck makes sense.

We Don't Buy Trucks at Auction in Bulk

Big dealers buy 30 trucks at a time sight unseen and hope most of them are decent. We buy one at a time. We go through the service history. If something doesn't check out, we pass on it.

That's the reason people from Petal, Oak Grove, and Sumrall keep driving down here. They got burned somewhere else first. If you want to know how to check a diesel truck's history yourself before you buy anything, here's what to look for.

Financing Without the Games

We work with multiple lenders. You can apply online in a few minutes and know what you're working with before you make the drive. No four-square. No "let me talk to my manager." Just numbers.

It's Not That Far

Collins is 40 minutes from Petal on 49. Folks from all over Forrest County — Hattiesburg, Oak Grove, Sumrall — come down here. Once you see the difference between what we carry and what's sitting on those big lots, it makes sense.

Why the Right Truck Tires Can Make or Break a Farm Operation

Most farmers spend serious time picking the right truck. Engine, payload, tow rating — all of it matters. But then they drive off the lot on whatever tires came stock, and those tires weren't built for muddy fields, gravel county roads, or hauling feed in the rain. The tires under your diesel truck are your first and last line of contact with the ground. Get them wrong, and the rest of the truck doesn't matter.

Whether you're running a Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax, the right tire setup will help you get more out of that engine — and keep you out of a ditch when conditions turn rough. Here's what you need to know before you buy.

All-Terrain vs. Mud-Terrain: Knowing the Difference

This is the big question for most farm truck owners. Both have their place, but they're built for different jobs.

• All-Terrain (AT) Tires — These are the workhorse choice for most farmers. They handle gravel roads, light mud, pasture ground, and highway miles equally well. Tread is aggressive enough to bite in soft conditions but quiet enough for everyday driving. If your truck sees a mix of pavement and field work, this is likely your sweet spot.

• Mud-Terrain (MT) Tires — Built for deep mud, rutted trails, and wet clay. The open tread lugs clear mud fast and grip where AT tires give up. The tradeoff is road noise, slightly reduced fuel economy, and faster tread wear on pavement. If you're pulling equipment trailers through low-lying fields or working in wet bottomland, MTs earn their keep.

Most farmers running a Duramax or Cummins 3/4-ton or 1-ton rig will be well-served by a quality AT tire in the LT (Light Truck) rating. The LT designation means the tire is built to handle real loads — not just a car with four-wheel drive. Don't put passenger-rated tires on a work truck. Period.

Load Range and Ply Rating: Specs That Actually Matter

Tire sidewalls tell you a lot if you know what to read. For a diesel farm truck, focus on these specs:

• Load Range E — The standard choice for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks. 10-ply construction handles heavy payloads and towing without sidewall flex.

• Load Range D — Suitable for lighter half-ton applications, but not ideal if you're consistently hauling or towing near max capacity.

• Tire Size — Going up in tire size on a Powerstroke-powered work truck can affect your speedometer and gearing. If you're running a lift kit, make sure your axle ratios and gearing are dialed in to compensate.

Running undersized or under-rated tires on a heavy diesel isn't just a performance issue — it's a safety issue when you're loaded down on a two-lane highway pulling livestock.

Tire Maintenance for Trucks That Work Hard

A good set of tires still needs attention to last. Farm trucks take abuse that highway trucks never see. Keep these habits in place:

• Check tire pressure weekly — field conditions and temperature swings affect PSI fast

• Rotate every 5,000–7,500 miles, especially if you're towing regularly

• Inspect sidewalls for cuts after rocky field work

• Balance after any tire repair or when you feel vibration at highway speed

A quality set of LT all-terrain tires on a well-maintained diesel truck will give you years of reliable service. Neglect them, and you'll be changing out a $1,500 set of rubber way too soon.

Built for Work. Built for Farms.

If you've been searching for a Duramax diesel that can tow, haul, and turn heads — this one checks every box. We've got a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT sitting on our lot in Collins, MS right now, and it's not your average three-quarter ton. This truck has been custom lifted, rides on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, and it's powered by the 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel paired with the Allison 1000 six-speed automatic. That's the drivetrain combination diesel guys from Hattiesburg to Laurel specifically look for.

Why the Duramax and Allison Combination Still Holds Up

The 6.6L Duramax V8 in this generation Sierra is one of the most proven diesel engines on the road. It's B20-biodiesel compatible, makes serious torque, and when paired with the Allison transmission, it delivers the kind of smooth, confident towing that half-ton trucks simply can't match. Whether you're pulling a gooseneck trailer across Jones County or hauling equipment to a job site, this truck was built for it.

At 151,754 miles, this Duramax is well within its working life. These engines routinely run 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — that's not a sales pitch, that's what diesel owners across Mississippi will tell you from experience.

SLT Trim — Not a Stripped Work Truck

This isn't a fleet truck with vinyl seats and crank windows. The SLT trim on the Sierra 2500HD gives you:

• Full leather-appointed bucket seats — heated and ventilated

• 8-inch touchscreen navigation with GMC IntelliLink and SiriusXM

• Wireless charging pad

• Power windows, locks, and climate control

• Spray-on bed liner — already done, no extra cost

• Deep Garnet Metallic paint with brown leather interior

You get the capability of a heavy-duty diesel with the interior of a truck you actually want to drive every day. A lot of buyers coming from Hattiesburg and the Pine Belt are looking for exactly this — a truck that works hard and rides comfortable.

Custom Lifted — Done Right

This Sierra has been lifted with a clean, well-executed setup. It sits on 20-inch five-spoke forged polished aluminum wheels with LT265/60R20 all-terrain tires. The stance is aggressive without being impractical — you can still tow, still fit in a parking deck, and it rides like a truck that was built this way from the factory.

Priced at $31,990

A lifted Duramax SLT with leather, navigation, and 4WD for under $32,000 — that's a hard truck to find in this market. Compare what you'd pay at a dealership in Jackson or on the Coast for a truck like this. Then come see it in person at Dykes Motors.

We're at 3069 Hwy 49, Collins, MS 39428. Buyers from Laurel, Hattiesburg, Petal, and all across South Mississippi make the drive because we price our trucks honestly and deal with people straight.

Why the Right Mowing Schedule Can Make or Break a Commercial Operation

If you're running a commercial mowing operation, managing a resort property, or maintaining a golf course, you already know that downtime is the enemy. Every hour a mower sits in the shop is an hour you're not billing, not maintaining appearance standards, and not keeping ahead of fast-growing turf. One of the most overlooked factors in keeping that schedule tight is matching the right machine to the workload — and that comes down to engine power and how it holds up hour after hour, season after season.

Ferris commercial zero-turn mowers are built around that reality. They don't just cut fast. They're engineered to cut reliably under the kind of sustained load that grinds down lesser machines inside of a single season.

What Ferris Engine Options Actually Deliver in the Field

Ferris offers a range of commercial-grade engines across their lineup — Briggs & Stratton Commercial, Kawasaki, Vanguard, and Kohler Command PRO options depending on the model. Each one is spec'd for a reason. Here's what that means in practical terms:

• Sustained Power Under Load: Commercial turf doesn't always cooperate. Thick stand grass, wet conditions, and uneven terrain put constant stress on the engine. Ferris machines are paired with engines rated to handle continuous high-load operation — not just peak numbers on a spec sheet.

• Better Fuel Efficiency Over a Full Day: Larger displacement engines running at moderate throttle burn less fuel per acre than smaller engines straining at full capacity. On an 8-to-10-hour mowing day, that adds up fast on your fuel costs.

• Longer Service Intervals: Commercial-grade engines paired with Ferris's air filtration and cooling systems are designed to go further between maintenance stops. Less downtime, more billable hours.

• EFI Options for Smarter Fuel Delivery: Select Ferris models offer Electronic Fuel Injection engines. EFI delivers better cold-start performance, improved throttle response, and measurable fuel savings compared to carbureted engines — a serious advantage when you're running multiple machines across a large property fleet.

For golf courses and resort grounds crews dealing with early morning starts and varying terrain conditions, EFI isn't a luxury — it's a practical tool that pays for itself over a full mowing season.

Matching Engine Size to Your Acreage and Application

Not every property needs the same horsepower. A 10-acre residential estate and a 200-acre resort grounds operation have very different demands. Ferris builds their lineup to cover that range:

• Smaller commercial properties and tighter landscape work benefit from the maneuverability of mid-range models without sacrificing commercial durability.

• High-acreage operations — farms, golf courses, parks, cemeteries, highway corridors — need the top-end power and deck size combinations that only Ferris's IS and ISX series deliver.

• Contractors running crews need machines that different operators can run all day without mechanical issues or operator complaints. Ferris's suspension system works hand-in-hand with engine performance to keep operators fresher and more productive longer.

That last point matters more than most buyers account for. A fatigued operator on a rough-running machine doesn't cut as efficiently, makes more mistakes, and is more likely to put that machine into something solid. Ferris's independent suspension reduces the pounding on both the operator and the machine itself — which directly extends component life across the entire drivetrain.

Built for Work. Built for Farms.

Every week somebody walks onto the lot and asks the same question: should I go diesel or gas? The answer depends on what you're actually doing with the truck — not what sounds cool on paper.

We keep both on the lot at Dykes Motors because the right answer is different for different buyers. Here's how to think about it if you're shopping for a used truck in South Mississippi.

When Diesel Makes Sense

If you're towing heavy — a gooseneck trailer, a piece of heavy equipment, a camper over 8,000 lbs — diesel is where you want to be. That low-end torque makes a real difference when you're pulling a loaded trailer down Highway 49 or across Jones County back roads.

Diesel also wins on longevity. A well-maintained 6.7 Power Stroke or Duramax will run 300,000 miles without breaking a sweat. That's why guys running construction crews between Hattiesburg and Laurel buy them — the truck outlasts the payments by years.

Right now we've got several diesel trucks on the lot, including a 2018 F-350 King Ranch 6.7 Power Stroke and a 2020 F-250 Platinum 6.7 Power Stroke. Both are the kind of truck that's still working hard at 200k miles.

When Gas Makes More Sense

Here's what nobody on the internet tells you: if you're not towing over 8,000 lbs regularly, a gas truck does everything you need for less money upfront and less money at the shop.

Diesel maintenance costs more — fuel filters, DEF fluid, injectors, turbo maintenance. On a used truck that's out of warranty, one injector job can run $3,000-$5,000. A gas V8 just doesn't have those costs.

For daily driving around Covington County, running to the farm supply store, hauling a utility trailer on weekends — a gas half-ton like an F-150 LARIAT or a RAM 1500 Big Horn is the smarter play. Lower purchase price, cheaper fuel right now, and simpler maintenance.

The Real Cost Comparison

Let's be honest about it:

• Purchase price: A comparable used diesel runs $8,000-$15,000 more than its gas twin

• Fuel: Diesel gets better highway MPG, but diesel fuel costs more per gallon in Mississippi right now

• Maintenance: Diesel oil changes, DEF, and fuel filters add $500-$800/year over gas

• Resale: Diesels hold value better — but only if they're maintained

If you're not towing heavy at least a few times a month, the diesel premium never pays itself back. Buyers from Petal, Purvis, and the Hattiesburg metro area figure this out quick when they run the numbers.

What Mississippi Roads Do to Your Decision

Our roads beat trucks up. Between the heat, humidity, and some county roads that haven't been graded since last summer, your truck works harder here than it would up north. That actually favors gas trucks slightly — simpler drivetrain means fewer things to go wrong when you're bouncing down a clay road in Smith County.

But if you're pulling equipment to job sites across Raleigh, Taylorsville, or Mendenhall on a daily basis, the diesel earns its keep.

The Bottom Line

Buy diesel if you tow heavy, regularly. Buy gas if you don't. Don't let anyone talk you into paying a diesel premium for a truck that'll mostly see pavement and a deer stand twice a year.

Come see both options on the lot. We'll walk you through what makes sense for how you actually use a truck — not how the internet says you should.

Why Deck Size Matters More Than You Think

If you're mowing serious acreage, the deck size on your zero-turn mower isn't just a spec on a sheet — it determines how many hours you spend in the seat, how clean your cut looks, and how fast you can turn a job around. Ferris builds commercial mowing decks across a range of sizes, and each one is engineered for a specific kind of work. Choosing the right one up front saves you time, money, and frustration down the road.

Here's a straightforward breakdown of how Ferris mower deck sizes stack up and which one fits your operation.

Ferris Deck Sizes: Matching the Machine to the Job

Ferris offers cutting decks ranging from 36 inches up to 72 inches depending on the model series. Picking the right width comes down to your terrain, obstacles, and total acreage.

• 36" – 44" Decks: Best for gated residential properties, tight commercial spaces, and anywhere maneuverability matters more than pure speed. These decks let you get into spaces a wider machine simply can't reach.

• 48" – 52" Decks: A solid mid-range option for landscaping contractors who move between multiple properties in a day. Enough width to cover ground efficiently without sacrificing agility around trees, beds, and curbs.

• 61" Decks: This is the sweet spot for most commercial operators. Wide enough to knock out large open areas fast, still manageable on properties with moderate obstacles. The 61" is one of the most popular sizes in the Ferris lineup for good reason.

• 72" Decks: Built for open acreage — farms, estates, roadsides, and large commercial campuses. When you're covering 10, 20, or 50 acres at a stretch, a 72" deck cuts your time on the machine significantly.

Every Ferris deck is constructed from heavy-gauge fabricated steel. These aren't stamped decks that flex and wear out after a few seasons. They're built to hold a precise cut year after year under real commercial workloads.

How Ferris Suspension Changes Everything

Deck size is one part of the equation. The other part is what the machine does when the terrain gets rough.

Ferris is the only major manufacturer that builds independent suspension directly into their zero-turn platform. That suspension works with your deck to maintain consistent blade-to-ground contact even when you're mowing over roots, ruts, and uneven ground. On a flat-deck competitor, that same terrain produces scalped spots, uneven cut heights, and a rougher ride for the operator.

If your property has hills, drainage swales, or anything other than a billiard-table surface, Ferris suspension pays for itself in cut quality alone — before you ever factor in operator comfort.

Which Ferris Deck Size Is Right for You?

Here's a simple way to think about it:

• Under 2 acres with tight spaces: Go 36"–48". Prioritize maneuverability.

• 2–10 acres, mixed terrain: The 52" or 61" with IS suspension handles this range well and gives you speed without sacrificing control.

• 10+ acres, open ground: Step up to the 61" or 72". The time savings add up fast at this scale.

• Commercial contractors running multiple jobs daily: Match deck width to your most common job type. Many contractors run a 61" as their primary machine and keep a smaller deck on a second unit for detail work.

Built for Work. Built for Farms.

When you're shopping for a used diesel truck, the price tag is only part of the story. What really tells you what you're buying is the service history — that paper trail of oil changes, repairs, and maintenance records that shows how the previous owner treated the truck. A clean service history can mean thousands of dollars in avoided repairs. A spotty one can mean a headache before the first harvest is done.

Here's how to evaluate a pre-owned diesel truck's service history the right way, before you sign anything.

Start With the VIN — Before You Even Kick the Tires

Pull a vehicle history report using the VIN the moment you're seriously interested. Services like Carfax or AutoCheck will show you reported accidents, title changes, odometer readings at different service visits, and whether the truck was a fleet vehicle or a personal rig. Fleet trucks are often well-maintained, but they're also worked hard. Personal trucks can go either way.

Pay attention to gaps in the mileage timeline. If a truck shows 40,000 miles at one service entry and then jumps to 90,000 at the next with nothing in between, that's a red flag. Either maintenance was skipped or the records weren't kept — neither is a good sign on a diesel engine that depends on clean oil to protect injectors and turbo components.

What to Look for in the Actual Service Records

Ask the seller or dealer for physical or digital service records. A well-cared-for diesel — whether it's running a Powerstroke, a Cummins, or a Duramax — should have documented oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles under normal use, and more frequently under hard farm or towing conditions. Here's what you want to see:

• Regular oil and filter changes at consistent intervals

• Fuel filter replacements — often overlooked but critical on diesel engines

• DEF system and EGR maintenance if the truck is 2008 or newer

• Transmission fluid changes — especially if the truck has been used for heavy towing

• Coolant flushes and water pump records — diesels run hot, and neglecting the cooling system is expensive

Ask About Any Major Repairs

Service records don't always tell the whole story. Ask directly: Has this truck had any injector work? Has the turbo ever been replaced? Any head gasket issues? These are common on high-mileage diesels, and they're not dealbreakers — but you need to know. A rebuilt injector on a 200,000-mile Duramax isn't necessarily a red flag if the work was done right and documented. What's a red flag is when nobody can tell you why the truck went to the shop three times in one year.

Know What You're Getting Into with Emissions Systems

Trucks built after 2007 come with emissions equipment — DPF filters, EGR valves, DEF tanks — that require their own maintenance. If a truck has had its emissions system deleted or modified, that's something you need to weigh carefully. In some states, that can make the truck illegal to register. In Mississippi, the rules differ, but it can still affect warranties, resale, and financing options. Know what you're buying before you fall in love with the price.

At Dykes Motors in Collins, Mississippi, we stand behind the trucks we sell. We offer financing options, trade-ins, and nationwide delivery — so you can find the right pre-owned diesel without settling for whatever happens to be on the lot nearest to you.

Built for Work. Built for Farms.

If you're hauling heavy equipment, pulling a loaded flatbed, or running feed to the back forty every day, the configuration of your diesel truck matters as much as the engine under the hood. One of the most overlooked decisions farm and ranch buyers face: dually or single rear wheel? Get this wrong and you'll either be underpowered for the job or hauling more truck than you need.

What's the Difference Between a Dually and a Single Rear Wheel Truck?

A dually — or dual rear wheel (DRW) truck — runs two tires on each side of the rear axle, giving you four rear tires total. A single rear wheel (SRW) truck runs one tire on each side, like a standard pickup. Both configurations are available across the major diesel platforms: Ford's Powerstroke, Ram's Cummins, and Chevy/GMC's Duramax. The question is which one fits the work you're actually doing.

Here's what each setup does better:

• Dually trucks offer higher payload ratings — often 6,000 lbs or more in the bed. They're more stable under heavy fifth-wheel or gooseneck loads, especially on uneven terrain or during crosswinds. If you're moving cattle trailers loaded to the limit or hauling heavy construction equipment, a dually is the right tool.

• Single rear wheel trucks are more maneuverable, easier to park, and better suited for daily farm driving on tight paths, around barns, or through muddy fields. A 3/4-ton SRW with a Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax diesel can handle serious towing — often 18,000–20,000 lbs — without the added width of duals.

Which Setup Makes Sense for Your Operation?

The honest answer depends on two things: how much you're hauling and how you're getting there. A beef cattle producer who runs a loaded 24-foot gooseneck trailer three or four times a week needs the stability and capacity of a dually. A row crop farmer who occasionally pulls a planter or grain wagon to the field might find a 3/4-ton SRW does everything he needs at lower cost and with more flexibility around the farm.

Ask yourself these questions before you buy:

• What's my heaviest regular load — trailer, equipment, or bed cargo?

• Am I running highways or tight farm lanes most of the time?

• Do I need to back into tight spots regularly?

• What's my budget for tires? (Duallies run six tires — that adds up at replacement time.)

Don't Forget: Cab, Bed, and Engine Still Matter

Whether you go dually or SRW, the engine choice still drives long-term value and capability. Ford's Powerstroke delivers strong torque at low RPM — great for heavy pulls. Ram's Cummins is known for longevity and fuel efficiency under load. The Duramax in Chevy and GMC trucks offers smooth power delivery and solid towing numbers. All three platforms are available in both SRW and DRW configurations, so you don't have to sacrifice engine preference to get the axle setup you need.

Pair the right axle setup with the right cab (crew cab for families, regular or extended cab if it's strictly a work truck) and bed length (long beds give more cargo space; short beds are easier to maneuver), and you've got a rig built for your actual operation — not just someone else's idea of what a farm truck should be.
