Writing about trailers, towing, or the used-equipment market? This index is free to cite. Copy an attribution:
Every figure is the median of current asking prices for that category — not the average. Used-equipment prices are skewed by a handful of high-end units, so the median reflects a typical buy far more honestly than a mean. The most-pay column is the 25th–75th percentile (where the middle half of listings sit); the typical range is the 10th–90th percentile, trimming outliers on both ends.
Listings are aggregated from public classified sources across US metros (783 priced units this period) and re-scraped continuously, so the index tracks what sellers actually ask right now rather than a stale book value. Categories with too few listings to be reliable are held out until they have enough depth.
