How do you know how much he paid for the new truck?
I never experienced a dealer taking a trade-in that didn't use the MSRP, then deduct the value of the trade-in. YMMV. Common sense says that was the deal in this case.
Maybe you should get the best dealer price, THEN tell the dealer you have a trade-in. You just have to be able to keep your mouth shut as the salesman tries to weasel info out of you.
That and laughing at the salesman every time he says MSRP is a way to break out of your dilemma. They need you; you don't need them. Plenty of other dealers to play against each other and they will happily cut each other's throats given half a chance.
