Light-duty pickups · Bought directly
Sell your pickupwithout the runaround.
Half-ton and light-duty pickups — F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500, Tundra, Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado and the rest. Any cab and bed combination, 2WD or 4WD, running or dead in a yard.
Commercial or medium-duty?
Class 3 and up, box trucks, day cabs, sleepers, dumps and flatbeds are our sister company’s business, not ours. They buy nationwide and they will decode the full build sheet off the VIN.
What decides the number
Cab and bed, before anything else
Configuration decides the buyer pool more than trim does. A crew cab short bed and a regular cab long bed are two different vehicles to two different buyers, and the same truck in the wrong configuration for its market sits.
Whether the 4WD actually engages
A 4WD badge is worth nothing if the transfer case does not shift or the front differential is dry. Say which it is — a working 4WD system is a real premium and a broken one is a known, priceable repair. Discovering it at pickup is what kills deals.
Frame and bed rust, not body rust
Surface rust on a bedside is cosmetic. Perforated frame rails, rotted cab corners and a bed floor you can see the ground through are structural, and on a truck that has spent winters on salted roads that is the whole valuation.
Factory tow package and axle ratio
The ratio on the door sticker matters to the buyer who wants to tow with it. A factory tow package, integrated brake controller and the right rear axle are worth more than most trim badges.
What kind of hard life it had
A 200,000-mile highway truck is often in better shape than an 80,000-mile site truck that spent its life idling, plowing and carrying weight. Mileage alone tells us less here than in any other category.
Have this ready
- The VIN, and the axle-ratio and payload codes off the door jamb sticker
- Whether it has ever plowed, towed heavy, or carried a service body
- Transmission and differential service history, if it towed
- Honest answer on frame rust — where, and whether it is perforated
Whole, or in parts?
Pickups are the strongest part-out category we deal with, and it is not close. A clean bed and tailgate on a truck with a blown engine routinely beat what the whole truck fetches as a runner, because every damaged truck on the road needs a bed and nobody makes new ones cheaply.
- Bed and tailgate — the highest-value single panels on any vehicle
- Doors, fenders and bumpers for the same reason
- 4WD front differentials, transfer cases and front axles
- Tow packages, hitches and brake controllers
Questions we get about pickup trucks
The frame is rusted through. Is it worth anything?
Usually yes, but as parts rather than as a truck. The drivetrain, bed, doors and 4WD components do not care what the frame looks like — and a rotted frame is exactly the situation where parting out returns several times what the truck would sell for whole.
Do you buy diesels?
Yes — light-duty diesels, so the Power Stroke, Duramax and Cummins trucks in half-ton and three-quarter-ton form. Emissions-deleted trucks are still worth money but the buyer pool narrows sharply, so tell us up front rather than at pickup.
It is lifted and modified. Does that hurt?
It changes who wants it, not whether anybody does. A quality lift on a clean truck can add value; a cheap one on worn suspension takes it away. If you still have the stock parts, say so — they are often worth more than the lift.
What about a plow truck?
We will look, but be straight about it. Plowing is the hardest work a light-duty truck does: front-end wear, transmission heat and frame stress all come with it. A plow truck priced as a plow truck sells; one priced as a clean truck does not.
