The best advice I can give you is to make sure you value the price of the truck and then your used trade in independently.
Come to an agreement on the cost of the truck and than ask them what the value of the trade in would be. If your satisfied with the value you are getting for the trade in than have that come off the cost of the truck. Do keep in mind though that you won't receive market value for your trade in, the dealership will need to leave profit room for them, they are a business after all and they are doing the heavy lifting and taking the inventory risk.
If you aren't happy with what is being offered for a trade in, consider selling the car yourself. If you run the math on how much additional you can bring in by selling the car yourself and than keep track of the actual amount of hours required to fulfill the sale, you will be shocked at how much that works on an hourly basis.
Good luck either way!
