Used Dump Truck Asking-Price Benchmark
Observed 2026-11-06. Sample: 425 priced listings.
This benchmark compares advertised asking prices across the trucks currently offered on Simple Lend Marketplace. It describes this marketplace's inventory at the observation time. It is not a national market index, a valuation of a particular truck, or a record of completed sales.
| Model year | Priced listings | Median asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Before 2005 | 79 | $60,000 |
| 2005–2019 | 310 | $85,000 |
| 2020 and newer | 36 | $145,000 |
The median asking price for 2020-and-newer trucks is 2.42 times the median for trucks built before 2005 in this sample.
Monthly asking-price history
Each row is one monthly observation of this marketplace's listed inventory, captured at the start of the month. 3 months are shown. A median can move because the trucks listed changed, not only because a seller changed a price.
| Month | Priced listings | Before 2005 | 2005–2019 | 2020 and newer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09 | 483 | $60,000 | $85,000 | $149,998 |
| 2026-10 | 420 | $60,000 | $85,000 | $149,998 |
| 2026-11 | 401 | $60,000 | $85,000 | $145,000 |
How long these trucks have been listed
Across 33 listings we have observed continuously, the median time on this marketplace is 4 days and the mean is 13 days. 16 of them changed their asking price at least once while we observed them.
These spans run from the first time we recorded a listing to today, for trucks that are still listed. They are not time-to-sale: a truck still shown here has not sold, and a truck that leaves the marketplace stops contributing. Nothing here infers a sale date.
How we calculate it
We include active listings with a positive advertised price and exclude trucks marked Sold. We deduplicate by a valid vehicle identification number, falling back to the listing SKU or inventory identifier where a VIN is unavailable. Each remaining listing contributes one price. The median is the middle price after sorting; for an even number of prices it is the average of the two middle values. Listings without a usable price are excluded, rather than counted as zero.
How to use the comparison
Model year alone does not explain a truck's price. Axle configuration, mileage, condition, emissions equipment, location and the seller's expectations can all differ between these groups. A change in the trucks listed can move a median even when no seller changes a price. Compare the actual specifications and request current information before making an offer. The advertised figure is not an all-in acquisition budget: transport, taxes, registration and any work identified during an independent inspection need separate consideration.
History starts with observations
Monthly snapshots begin in September 2026. We do not reconstruct earlier prices from bulk imports or infer sale dates from record-update timestamps. The history above is built only from months we observed directly. Asking prices are not transaction prices. The listing spans above are observed durations for trucks still listed, not time-to-sale, and no sale date is inferred from them.
