From Cabot to Des Arc: One Highway, About 30 Miles

For Cabot drivers, getting to D3 Auto Sales takes one decision: point the truck east on Highway 38 and stay on it. The road runs out of Cabot through Austin, past Hickory Plains and across the open farm ground of Lonoke and Prairie counties until it meets Highway 11 just south of Des Arc. From there it’s a short run north to our lot at 2410 Main Street. It’s roughly 30 miles with no interstate merges and no stoplight-to-stoplight crawl, and for a lot of our Cabot customers that drive is part of why they come.

Cabot has grown fast, and the car lots along the US-67/167 corridor have grown with it. What those lots don’t usually offer is a dealership built around trucks. D3 is an independent pre-owned dealer, and trucks make up a large share of what we sell. That includes the lifted and leveled pickups we’ve become known for across Central Arkansas, along with heavy-duty diesels, everyday half-tons and the SUVs and cars families need. Every vehicle on our website shows its no-haggle price, so you can compare it with anything you’ve seen in Cabot or North Little Rock before you spend the gas to come look.

When you get here, you’ll be working with a team whose names and roles are posted on our Meet the Team page. The dealership is led by Dealer Principal Dare Saul. Sales Manager Joe Porto runs the sales floor. Behind them is a full staff that includes finance, title clerks, service technicians, a body shop and a detail crew. You’re buying from people with names and job titles, not from a listing on a marketplace.

One Truck for the Commute and the Weekend

Most Cabot households we work with need a vehicle that pulls double duty. Monday through Friday it’s on 67/167 toward Jacksonville, Little Rock Air Force Base, Sherwood or downtown Little Rock. On Saturday it’s pulling a bass boat to Greers Ferry, hauling a side-by-side to a deer lease or loading up for a ball tournament. That combination shapes what we recommend.

For a truck that commutes every day, a half-ton crew cab is usually the sweet spot. The Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra all come in four-door configurations with a back seat that fits adults. Most of them ride well on the highway, and a factory tow package handles the boats and utility trailers most families pull. Four-wheel drive matters more than people expect in this part of Arkansas. Gravel drives, wet hunting land and boat ramps after a rain can all strand a two-wheel-drive truck.

If you like the look of a lifted truck but drive a lot of highway miles, ask us about the difference between a leveling kit and a full suspension lift. A leveling kit raises the front of the truck to match the rear. It removes the factory nose-down stance and makes room for slightly larger tires, while keeping the ride and handling close to stock. A full lift raises the whole truck for more ground clearance and bigger tires, which changes more about how it drives and handles. Both make sense for different drivers. Our lifted trucks page shows what’s on the ground today, and our full truck inventory covers everything else.

Financing That Starts Before You Leave Cabot

You don’t have to drive 30 miles to find out where you stand on financing. You can prequalify online without entering your Social Security number, or pre-qualify with Capital One and see your options before you shop. When you arrive, Finance Manager Randy Pickrell’s office takes it from there.

We also work with buyers whose situations don’t fit a standard approval. If your credit took a hit, our bad credit car loans page explains how we approach it. If you’re a contractor or run your own business and your income doesn’t show up on a W-2, our self-employed car loans page covers what lenders typically look for instead.

Still Here After the Sale

A lot of small lots sell the vehicle and that’s the end of the relationship. D3 runs a full service department led by Service Manager Bud Kirchoff. It includes service advisors, a parts manager, multiple technicians, a body shop technician, a painter and a detail crew. That same team prepares the vehicles we sell, and it’s available to you for maintenance and repairs after you drive home to Cabot.

Frequently Asked Questions From Cabot Buyers

How far is D3 Auto Sales from Cabot?

About 30 miles. Take Highway 38 east out of Cabot through Austin and past Hickory Plains, then turn north on Highway 11 into Des Arc. Nearly the whole trip is on one highway.

Is a lifted truck practical for commuting to Little Rock?

It can be, depending on the build. A leveled truck or a mild lift with all-terrain tires drives much like a stock truck on the highway. A taller lift with aggressive mud-terrain tires is louder and can use more fuel. Tell our team how many highway miles you drive and they’ll point you to the right setup.

What’s the best used truck for a family in Cabot?

For most families, a four-wheel-drive half-ton crew cab with a factory tow package covers daily driving, the back-seat space kids need and weekend towing. If you regularly pull a camper or heavy trailer, step up to a three-quarter-ton truck.

Can I see the price before I make the drive from Cabot?

Yes. Every vehicle on our website shows its no-haggle price, so you can compare before you leave home.

Can I get pre-approved without a credit check affecting my score?

You can prequalify online without entering your Social Security number, or pre-qualify through Capital One. Either way, you get a sense of your options before you visit.

Does D3 Auto Sales service vehicles after the sale?

Yes. Our in-house service department handles maintenance and repairs, and we also have a body shop and detail crew. You can schedule online or call (870) 256-1600.
