Well this can go both ways.
If you trade it in to a Dealer they are not going to give you anything but the min. trade in. They do not care. They just want to make money. They have to be able to wholesale the truck and still make money. I think you would be better off to sell the truck. You will get more money and all the stuff you have done and kept up with will increase the resale. Worse comes to worse and you can not sell it outright then you can trade it in. The bestt time to sell is spring with out a doubt.

Just my .02

With all my truck's accessories and excellent preventative
maintenance(documented) I have done on my truck, how do I go about
determining its trade in value. Does the maintenance history and accessories
even matter? Just curious about finding out what it is worth, that's
all...........for now atleast.
