The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Truck Values

From my experience once you get above a 1ton the values drop off a lot. Most people will not want the 1.5ton and larger truck of any make. There are quite a few people who do not want even the 1ton trucks.

The values for a one ton of equal condition and year would be considerably higher than for a 1.5ton or higher. Without pictures it is nearly impossible to give a value.

The reason for the difference in value is that they are larger which makes storage more difficult if not impossible, they tend to be heavier and slower so they are not as nice to drive, they have a higher GVW so getting license plates/insurance may cost more. Typically 1.5tons don't have a bed so they are not as readily useful for most people. Even considering modern trucks, a lot of people drive trucks daily, but very few drive even 1ton trucks for general transportation.

People like me like the large trucks, but we are not as common.

What did you pay for the truck, when?, and is it in a similar condition now?
