How Do You Determine Your Truck’s Blue Book Value?
The official Kelley Blue Book value for a used truck is discovered by choosing a make, model and year of the vehicle. Narrow the search by type of vehicle; choose “Pickup” first if other information is not known. Different prices are given depending on the state of the truck, the mileage and features, and whether it is being sold by a dealer or a private party.
