Mileage is not the only thing that matters on a used vehicle, but it is one of the first numbers most shoppers ask about. At AW Auto in Lodi, there are a few current vehicles that stand out because the mileage is low for the year, the price sits in a useful range, or the vehicle solves a clear local need for Bergen County drivers.

This is not a ranking from best to worst. A low-mile work truck, a practical AWD commuter SUV, a three-row family SUV, and a premium performance SUV all serve different buyers. The right choice depends on how you drive, how much room you need, and where you want your money to go.

2005 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW XL 4WD — $7,997, 40,940 miles

The mileage is the headline here. A 2005 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW XL 4WD with 40,940 miles is unusual, especially at $7,997. The listing supports DRW and 4WD, so this is the kind of truck that will catch attention from someone who needs a work-truck candidate, a yard truck, or a local hauler without spending newer heavy-duty money.

The smart way to look at it is with realistic expectations. It is still a 2005 truck, so age matters even when mileage is low. Seals, hoses, tires, storage history, and general mechanical condition should all be checked. But for a Bergen County buyer who wants a heavy-duty platform and does not want a large payment, this F-350 is worth putting on the test-drive list.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD — $12,876, 51,636 miles

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD is the practical daily-driver pick in this group. It is listed at $12,876 with 51,636 miles, which gives shoppers a newer AWD SUV under about $13,000. For commuting around Lodi, Hackensack, Passaic, or the Route 46 corridor, that mix of price, mileage, and AWD is easy to understand.

This is the vehicle for someone who wants a sensible SUV size, all-weather confidence, and a payment target that stays below many newer compact SUV options. It does not need a dramatic pitch. It is simply a useful AWD SUV with mileage that should make shoppers pause and take a closer look.

2021 Mazda CX-9 Touring AWD — $23,997, 43,539 miles

If the Equinox is the practical compact choice, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 Touring AWD is the low-mile family option. It is listed at $23,997 with only 43,539 miles. For buyers who need three rows, school-run space, weekend flexibility, or room for family without moving into a huge SUV, the CX-9 belongs in the conversation.

The key here is that it is a newer three-row AWD SUV with mileage that is still low for the year. Families shopping in Bergen County often compare vehicles like this against higher-priced newer SUVs. This Mazda gives them a way to get family space and AWD while staying in used-vehicle territory.

2017 Porsche Cayenne GTS AWD — $33,811, 61,496 miles

The 2017 Porsche Cayenne GTS AWD is a different kind of value. At $33,811 with 61,496 miles, it is not the budget pick. It is for the shopper who wants a premium SUV, AWD, and a stronger driving personality than the average family crossover. Under 80,000 miles is the point that makes it worth including in a low-mileage discussion.

This is the one for someone who still wants their SUV to feel special. It can handle daily North Jersey use, but the badge and GTS trim put it in a premium category. As always with a performance-oriented luxury SUV, shoppers should inspect carefully, understand ownership costs, and make sure it fits both the budget and the lifestyle.

How to choose

Start with the job, not the badge. If you need a budget work-truck candidate, look at the F-350. If you want a sensible AWD commuter SUV, the Equinox is the cleanest fit. If family space is the priority, the CX-9 gives you three-row AWD with low mileage. If you want premium performance SUV character, the Cayenne is the one that stands apart.

All four are currently listed at AW Auto & Truck Wholesalers, 23 US-46 West in Lodi, NJ. Availability can change quickly, so call (551) 345-8100 before coming in and verify the vehicle you want to see is still here.
