I’ve only got $16,000 and want America’s best-selling pickup; a Ford F-150. What will $16,000 get me? 

We took four random cities; Los Angeles, Denver, Detroit, and Richmond, VA, and scoured each city’s Craigslist to get an idea of what is available. Condition, mileage, engines, and options all play a part in the decision. However, we have no idea what we’ll find. This will be a deep dive into these regions to get an idea of what used F-150s command in America.

All trucks are private owners and have clean titles. We picked the cleanest-looking pickups with the least amount of miles. Diesel or gas, two-wheel- or four-wheel-drive, we were open to all of the possibilities. We’ll give you a brief rundown of each Ram pickup and a link for the post. Let’s take a look:
