Default What could I get for my truck?

OK, here is the deal. I am trying to sell my truck due to getting a job in NYC and no longer have the need for this beauty. Just trying to get an idea of what to ask for it. I checked KBB but just seeing what you guys think. Here are the stats:

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4
5.7L HEMI
39,000 miles
Flame Red/Black Interior
Mopar Chrome Nerf Boards
I added a Pioneer head unit and all new speakers (not trying to get additional $ for this)

Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks guys!

Not trying to discourage you, but check out this Craigslist ad local to me:
http://buffalo.craigslist.org/car/565850702.html

This poor guy has been trying to sell his almost-new truck for about 3 months now. He's lowered the price by $4K. The problem (for sellers)is the dealers are offering $10-12K discounts on new trucks and interest rates favor new vehicle buyers vs. used.

KBB private party value minus 2-3K if you really want to sell.

Like Redrum said, you won't get what you should get. The way dodge is giving trucks away and the fact that the economy isn't all that great right now...it'll be hard to sell at all.

Wow. Aright, thanks for the opinions. I'm going to take a huge hit on the car because I financed it about a year ago for 23K. Hopefully the truck gets sold to someone who can appreciate it.

Yea, thanks for rubbing it in! Haha, I guess we all get shafted once in life and this was mine. Luckily I was 20 so I know better now. Sticking with leasing from now on. Can't believe how much cars depreciate in just 1 year.

I traded in my old truck when I bought my ram and got kbb for the trade in price.
