13,242 used 2023 Ford F-150s are listed nationally right now. The entire 2023 midsize SUV segment across all makes had 16,400 active listings as of June 2026, per CarScout data. The F-150 alone is 80% of that number.
Three-year leases originated in 2023 are hitting maturity now, and trucks were leased at high rates that year. The result is the largest single-model surge the used truck market has seen in years, arriving while trucks remain the most demand-pressured segment in the used car market. That's the setup. Whether those 13,000 listings translate to actual buyer leverage is a different question.
The answer depends entirely on which truck you're buying.
The 2023 Off-Lease Landscape by Model
CarScout shows 33,755 active 2023 model-year pickup truck listings across six models as of July 1, 2026. The supply is not distributed evenly.
| Model | Active Listings | Median Mileage | Buyer Leverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford F-150 | 13,242 | 35,833 mi | Moderate |
| Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | 6,468 | 40,224 mi | Moderate |
| RAM 1500 | 4,696 | 35,255 mi | Low |
| GMC Sierra 1500 | 4,176 | 41,995 mi | Low |
| Toyota Tacoma | 2,987 | 35,026 mi | Very Low |
| Toyota Tundra | 2,186 | 37,768 mi | Very Low |
The F-150 and Silverado together account for 58% of available 2023 truck inventory. Both Toyota models combined are 15%.
What the Mileage Numbers Tell You
Median mileage of 35,000 to 42,000 miles is exactly what you'd expect from a 3-year lease return running at the standard 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. These aren't fleet cars or high-cycle work trucks. They're vehicles that spent three years as someone's daily driver under a standard lease mileage cap, then got returned.
That matters for condition prediction. Lease returns come off lots with consistent maintenance records (required under most lease contracts) and predictable wear patterns. The higher medians on Silverados (40,224 miles) and Sierras (41,995 miles) compared to the F-150 and RAM (both under 36,000 miles) suggest the GM trucks ran closer to their lease mileage limits. Worth verifying the maintenance history carefully, not a disqualifier.
Ford F-150: The Widest Market, Not the Softest Prices
13,242 listings looks like a buyer's market. It isn't quite.
The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for 47 consecutive years. Even with 13,000 2023 units available, demand absorbs supply faster than it does in most other segments. Per Carfax's June 2026 data, used truck prices rose $725 in May alone. Days supply for trucks remains below 40, well under the 45-day threshold that signals buyer leverage, according to Kelley Blue Book market data.
What the F-150 numbers do offer is optionality. 13,242 listings means you can find a 2023 F-150 in nearly any configuration: regular cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew, short bed, long bed, XL through Raptor, gasoline or PowerBoost hybrid. The widest selection of any segment means you're far less likely to settle for the wrong trim just because inventory is thin. That's genuinely valuable even when negotiation room on price is limited.
One note on recalls: NHTSA has documented multiple recall campaigns affecting the 2021-2025 F-150 generation. Run the VIN through NHTSA.gov before buying any 2023 unit to confirm which specific campaigns apply.
Silverado and Sierra: The Same Truck, Two Badges
6,468 Silverado 1500s and 4,176 Sierra 1500s. Same T1 platform. Same engine options. Different badges and slightly different interior trim levels. The mechanical and reliability profile is effectively identical.
If you're buying the platform, shopping both simultaneously is straightforward. Take the better-priced unit. The Sierra typically carries a small premium for upgraded interior finishes on comparable trims, but the underlying vehicle is the same. A wider combined search pool of 10,644 listings (vs 6,468 Silverado-only) increases the chance of finding the right spec at a better price.
The higher median mileage on both GM trucks (40,224 and 41,995 miles) is worth acknowledging. The Duramax diesel and turbocharged four-cylinder options in this generation handle higher mileage well, but pull a Carfax report and confirm the oil change interval on any unit close to or over 40,000 miles.
RAM 1500: Fewer Listings, Loyal Buyers
4,696 listings puts the RAM in the middle of the supply picture. But RAM buyers tend to stay brand-loyal, and the RAM's coil-spring rear suspension is a real differentiator from the leaf-spring setups on the F-150, Silverado, and Sierra. Buyers who want that ride quality buy specifically for it. That concentrated, returning demand keeps prices from softening much even when supply is tighter.
The lowest median mileage of all six trucks (35,255 miles) suggests RAM lessees returned their vehicles with room to spare on their contracts. More miles remaining, if that matters to your ownership calculation.
Toyota Trucks: Scarcest Supply, Lowest Negotiating Room
2,987 2023 Tacomas. 2,186 2023 Tundras. Toyota's combined 2023 truck supply is less than 16% of all available 2023 truck inventory. Dealers know it. Expect minimal price movement.
The 2023 Tacoma carries an important context: it's the final model year of the third-generation platform. Toyota launched an all-new fourth-generation Tacoma for 2024, making the 2023 the last of a platform with over a decade of documented real-world reliability data, known failure modes, and a deep aftermarket. That's not a drawback. A 2023 Tacoma with 35,000 miles has a verified reliability track record the 2024+ hasn't accumulated yet.
The Tundra picture is similar. 2022 introduced a complete redesign with the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, replacing the longtime 5.7-liter V8. The 2023 is now two years into that new platform. Still early enough in the generation that long-term reliability data is limited compared to the previous-gen truck, which ran for more than a decade.
Supply being this thin means you're competing for a specific vehicle, not browsing a wide market. Set alerts for the exact trim and configuration you want so you see listings as they appear rather than after a dealer has already fielded multiple offers.
Toyota Tundra 2023 supply at a glance: 2,186 listings nationally, $23,980 to $124,051, median 37,768 miles. This is the scarcest full-size truck of the six models in this comparison by a significant margin.
FAQ
How many 2023 pickup trucks are available nationally right now? CarScout data as of July 1, 2026 shows 33,755 active 2023 pickup truck listings across six models. The Ford F-150 leads with 13,242 listings. Toyota Tundra has the fewest at 2,186. Median mileage ranges from 35,026 miles (Tacoma) to 41,995 miles (GMC Sierra), consistent with 3-year lease return profiles.
Is the 2023 Tacoma a good used buy now that the 2024 redesign is out? The 2023 Tacoma is the last model year of the third-generation platform, which has over a decade of documented reliability history and a strong aftermarket. Inventory is tight: just 2,987 listings nationally as of July 2026, which limits price negotiation. You get a proven platform vs. the newer fourth gen, which hasn't had enough time on the road to build a comparable failure-mode dataset.
Which 2023 truck gives buyers the most choice right now? The Ford F-150, with 13,242 active listings across a wide range of trims, cab configurations, bed lengths, and powertrains. If you need a specific configuration, the F-150 is the market where you're most likely to find it without settling. The Chevrolet Silverado (6,468 listings) is a reasonable second. For either model, expect firm pricing: per Carfax data, truck prices rose $725 in May 2026 alone and days supply remains below 40.
