The Silverado is worth between $15 and $20 thousand, however, Chief Lowers indicates there is still around $9-thousand left on the lean of the vehicle with minimal legal fees attached.

The Fire Department purchased the Ford pickup truck from Anderson Ford in Clinton at a cost of just over $29-thousand.
