Put your emotions and sentimental attachment aside for a minute....

I know it is a Toyota, but I would never pay $16,000+ for a truck with 81,000 miles on it that has been repainted. The repaint is going to hurt the value - it may have been done by Picaso himself, but repaints aren't looked at favorably. Aftermarket stuff isn't always looked at favorably either.

Now I do know your area, and know that trucks are very popular. It is a very clean truck, and has been maintained well. I bet that you will sell it through word of mouth. Edmunds (which is often more realistic than KBB) shows it as a $12,000-$15,000 truck. My money would be that it will go in that range. I hope I am wrong, and wish you the best.
