Wappapello sits in Wayne County with Lake Wappapello State Park as a landmark that most Missourians recognize. People who live around the lake tend to have specific vehicle needs: a truck that can pull a boat, a Jeep that handles dirt roads without drama, or just something reliable enough that you are not worrying about it when you are 20 miles from the nearest service station. That is the kind of inventory we carry at Larry Hillis in Poplar Bluff.
From Lake Wappapello to North Westwood Blvd: Your Dealership Is Closer Than You Think
Built for People Who Actually Use Their Vehicles
Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500. Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Gladiator, Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are not just names on a list. They are vehicles we know well, that we have sold to people in this region for 30 years, and that hold up to what Southeast Missouri life demands. If you are towing at the lake, working in the field, or navigating gravel roads in every season, we can point you to the right option.
Honest Dealer, Honest Pricing
We offer the Larry Hillis Discount on new vehicles. It is an exclusive savings program through our dealership, not a price that got inflated before it got reduced. Wappapello area buyers who have shopped around and then found us usually have the same reaction: this is a better price than I expected. That is by design.
We have also been family-owned since 1995. Nobody sold us to a big group. Nobody changed the way we operate to hit a corporate target. The same values we started with are the ones we run on today.
Service You Can Actually Count On
A dealership with no service department is just a lot. Ours has an experienced team of factory-trained technicians who work specifically on the vehicles we sell. Oil changes, tire rotations, bigger repairs. We also have a Collision Center for body work. If you are making a long drive to buy a vehicle, it is worth knowing that the same place will take care of it after the sale too.

What Ram truck is best for towing a boat or camper?
For moderate towing, the Ram 1500 with a tow package handles most recreational trailers and smaller boats without issue. For heavier loads, the Ram 2500 gives you more capacity and the option for the Cummins diesel, which is exceptional for sustained towing.
Can I buy a Jeep here and have it serviced somewhere else?
Yes, though many customers find it convenient to bring it back to us. Our service team knows these vehicles well. That said, you are under no obligation to service with us after purchasing.
Do you handle trade-ins from buyers who owe money on their current vehicle?
Yes. If you have a loan balance on your trade-in, our finance team will factor that into the deal. Depending on the numbers, your equity or negative equity gets rolled into the new purchase. We walk you through exactly what the math looks like.
