Buying a truck? See the payment and total cost first

How to price your truck to sell

Updated October 2026

The right price sells a truck faster than any ad. Here's how to set it.

Research comparable trucks

Look for trucks with a similar year, make, model, engine, miles and condition, in your region. Asking prices are higher than selling prices, so treat them as a ceiling.

Adjust for what matters

Recent major work (an engine overhaul, new aftertreatment parts, new tires) adds value; document it. Known problems lower value; disclose them. Clean paperwork and maintenance records make buyers comfortable paying more.

Leave a little room

Most buyers expect to negotiate. Price a bit above your bottom line, and decide your walk-away number before the calls start.
