Pickup trucks are the workhorses of every government fleet, from city parks departments to state highway crews, and thousands of them are retired and sold at public auction each year. Over the past year, our sold archive recorded 8,390 closed government pickup sales with a middle price of $11,950. The middle half sold between $4,050 and $17,000.
Prices depend on the model, the year, the miles and the condition, and they also vary from state to state. The price tags and the state list below put all of it in one place, so you can see the numbers for yourself.
