Title: Canopy value
Post by: vandeman17 on August 14, 2024, 10:31:42 AM: Anybody know of a good source to get a reasonable selling price for a used canopy? I am going to be trading in my pickup here in the next few months and most dealers have told me the canopy adds no value on that trade. Based on that, it makes more sense to just sell it and put that cash towards buying a new one. I have looked on craigslist and a few other places and the prices are all over the place with no real rhyme or reason.

I've tried the market 3 different times selling and buying used and the frustration is damn near not worth the hassle, on both sides.
List yours online for $400 and if someone offers you anything, within the few months you have the current truck, take it. If it is still on your truck at trade in time, leave it on and avoid the dumbness you will deal with storing it until that magical individual sees your post to buy it.

If it's a run of the mill off brand closer to $500. Make sure you list the bed dimensions and what vehicle it came off of in your advertisement.

Post by: GOcougsHunter on August 14, 2024, 12:24:27 PM: I feel your pain. I have a 2007 F150 with a very nice Leer canopy. <200k miles and very clean. Tried to use it on a trade in. Dealer was firm at $2100. Private party Kelly blue book is $5500. I paid $5000 for the canopy brand new. So, my decision was to keep the truck. I now have a very nice and clean farm pick up with a shell. I put the canopy on Craigslist and the only replies I received were that people were willing to take it if I gave it to them no charge. I don't need the shell anymore, but can't just give it away as I know I will kick myself somewhere down the line if I do.

well its a snugtop off my 2013 f150 with the 6'6" bed. In good shape besides a small ding I put in it lifting the stupid thing off my truck on my shoulders :o. It is lined and has a nice led light that is awesome when sleeping in the bed.

What color? Will that fit a 2021?

Post by: vandeman17 on August 14, 2024, 01:32:15 PM: Nope it won’t fit a 2021 from what I can find online. I am looking at a new f150 and would love to just keep it and get it painted but read that newer models have a different box and tailgate shape.

This is the color

No kidding. I was thinking around 2k would get me a decent one on the new pickup. Boy was I wrong, good grief.

Post by: CP on August 14, 2024, 02:04:39 PM: Looks like the same color as my 2018. But I don't think it will fit mine either.

Good luck with your sale.

Post by: kellama2001 on August 14, 2024, 02:34:55 PM: Oh my lucky stars! I have the same color 2012 F150 with the 6'6" bed, and have been pricing canopies also. I'd like to get a canopy put on before hunting season. And I'm only an hour away from Wenatchee! If you don't mind would you send me the dimensions and your price? I just might be able to take it off your hands :tup:

Post by: Gentrys on August 14, 2024, 03:56:53 PM: We should have a new category here on Hunt WA for guys looking to buy/sell a canopy.
I'm looking for one. needs to fit a 2019 or newer GMC/Chev 1500 standard bed. Color match will be the tough one - looking for Dark Sky Metallic for my GMC.

Good idea. Finding a used canopy that matches your truck bed is dang near impossible
