Value Your Work Truck Trade-In in Memphis

Standard car appraisal tools don't understand the value of an upfitted service body or a diesel engine that's just been broken in. At Landers Ford Mt. Moriah, we accurately assess commercial fleet vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and upfitted rigs.

How much is my work truck worth?

The exact trade-in value of a commercial work truck depends on four main factors: the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), powertrain condition (specifically engine idle hours versus mileage), the condition of specific commercial upfits (like utility beds or cranes), and detailed maintenance records.

Unlike standard consumer vehicles, heavily used commercial trucks retain strong value if they are powered by heavy-duty diesel engines (like the Power Stroke or Cummins) and have verified fleet maintenance histories. A well-maintained fleet truck is highly desirable in the secondary market.

Why Trade Your Commercial Vehicle With Us?

Trading a commercial vehicle at a standard passenger-car dealership often results in lowball offers because they don't have the buyer base to resell heavy-duty inventory. We are different.

We Understand Upfits

A Knapheide utility body, a flatbed, or a liftgate adds real capability. Our commercial appraisers factor the utility of your existing upfit into the final trade-in number.

Tax Advantages

In Tennessee, trading in your vehicle significantly reduces the sales tax you pay on your new truck. You only pay tax on the difference between the new truck price and your trade-in value.

Seamless Fleet Upgrades

We simplify fleet rotations. Trade in your aging trucks and immediately roll that equity into new, standardized Super Duty models equipped with Ford Pro telematics.

How the Commercial Appraisal Process Works

We respect your time and know you need to get back to the job site. Our appraisal process is transparent and straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept trade-ins from brands other than Ford?
Yes. We buy all makes and models of commercial vehicles, including Chevy Silverados, Ram Heavy Dutys, Isuzu box trucks, and commercial cargo vans.
Can I sell my work truck to you without buying a new one?
Absolutely. If you are downsizing your fleet or liquidating assets, we will provide a firm cash offer for your commercial vehicle with no obligation to purchase a truck from us.
How do engine idle hours affect my trade value?
Commercial trucks often idle on job sites for hours to power inverters, AC, or PTOs. High idle hours equate to engine wear that isn't reflected on the odometer. We evaluate the total engine hour meter alongside the mileage to give you a fair, accurate appraisal.
What documents do I need to trade in a company-owned vehicle?
You will need the vehicle's title (or payoff information if there is a lien), current registration, and documentation proving you are an authorized signer for the business (such as corporate resolution documents or a letter of authorization).
Do maintenance records increase my trade-in value?
Yes. Providing a comprehensive fleet maintenance log proves the vehicle was cared for proactively, which increases buyer confidence and raises the valuation of your trade.
