A relative of mine recently had to deal with the death of their spouse, and now they're looking for ways to sell a couple of vehicles (a truck and a detachable mobile home trailer, specifically).

I'm in the "preliminary information gathering" stage of things, and I've got some leads on how to go about the process, but any general advice from people wouldn't go amiss. I'm not in the position to negotiate on their behalf. Thanks.

Does it count if he was in the passenger seat? I mean, there was just that one time...

For the truck, you just need to know what it is worth by looking at KBB and on things like FB Marketplace or Craigslist, have good title, ideally have some maintenance records. Detached mobile home - so a mobile home that is renting its lot or is sitting on your relative's land?
 
Partially dox the car so we know whether or not it's a piece of shit.

Excuse you - it identifies as a truck, thank you.
 
Just look at your local classifieds for similar vehicles and price accordingly. Markets are fucked due to supply chain so blue book isn't super helpful right now.
 
That, and trucks have extremely high resale value in general, especially in the rust belt where they're considered disposable. A running and driving "1500 or larger" truck that isn't ready to dissolve into red dust can fetch at least $5000 to the right person, regardless of its age. It helps to know the brand, because you can squeeze more money out of it, depending.
