Finding a used pickup with low miles at a decent price is a long shot as used vehicle values along with their odometers get hit with historic increases.

The average price for a used vehicle has soared 47.7% since the pandemic, with the Ram 1500 topping a list of best-selling used cars compiled by iSeeCars.

A used half-ton Ram had an average price of $27,324 in 2019. It’s now reached $42,881 – a 56.9% jump.

Four other pickups made the list of 23 vehicles. The GMC Sierra 1500 took the fifth spot with an average price of $32,862 in 2019. It has since spiked 44.1% to $47,364.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is number 11 on the list with an average value of $29,629 in 2019 to $40,359 today, a 36.2% jump.

Coming in at 13th place, the Ford F-150 was selling for $31,520 four years ago. That price is now up 33.6% to $42,104.

The last pickup on the list, the Toyota Tacoma, claimed the 17th spot with an average price of $28,443 in 2019. The nation’s best-selling midsize truck is now selling for an average of $36,675, a 28.9% jump.
