If you want an honest opinion from someone who has sold every car I have ever posted on craigslist in less than a week and gotten as much or more money than hoped for... While your listing description is fine, your pictures are terrible. If you spent at least 10 more minutes taking photos, you probably would have gotten some action. I typically find a nice backdrop consisting of either an open well manicured field, middle of a deadend street with really nice houses on it, or similar scenario. Your truck looks to be flat black or a dark primer so I'm not sure how much detailing you can do, but do as much detailing as possible for the interior and engine compartment. Speaking of which, no interior shots??? Bro. Take photos of the front, back, both sides, both sides of the interior, straight on the interior, and all sides of the engine compartment. If underneath looks great, get that too. Get creative with the angles to get the best photos possible. Get rid of the shot with another vehicle. Your truck should be the center of attention. I'm no professional photographer, but I know what looks appealing for selling vehicles and after all the detailing I do they basically sell themselves.
