Instructions
- 1
Get as much information as possible on the specific truck that you want to price. For instance, if you found a truck you want to buy, get the mileage, type of engine and any other information you can on it. The more information you have, the more accurate pricing information you will end up with. If you can drive the dump truck, do it so that you can assess if it has any noticeable mechanical problems, which would lower the value.
2Subscribe to a blue book service about medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, such as Truck Values or Truck Blue Book (see Resource section), to get the blue book value of the dump truck. Unlike those for passenger vehicles, these services are not free and have a subscription fee, which varies by vendor. This may only be a good option for you if you will be buying more than one vehicle and get more than one use out of the service. With each of these services, you enter in the dump truck details to get a value amount.
3Browse sales listings for other used F550 dump trucks to see how others are pricing the trucks. You can look on sites such as Truck Trader, Commercial Truck Trader, Trucker and eBay Motors (see Resource section). Look for truck listings that closely match the truck you are trying to price. For instance, if you want to price a V8 engine truck, do not look at the prices for the V10 engine models. Use the prices you see as a guide for pricing your 2007 Ford F550 truck.
