Sorry to hear about your hardship and I wish the best for you. I really don't want to be the bearer of bad news but you need to understand the facts:

That sounds like a very nice rig BUT your more than likely going to take a big hit due to deprecation. Anyone buying this is going to need a loan and the banks are going to go strictly off of the 80% of the Blue Book value with 20% down on a used unit. The terms will also not be nearly as good on a used unit and a lot of folks will say "the note is lower on brand new" and go that route. That's just a fact on nearly new units that make them harder to move. IF it was a unit 6-8 years old or older then you get into a range where things are different. I am sure some folks on here are going to disagree but go talk to a bank.

The banks will only consider the value of factory options that are listed in the Blue Book so all your other options, while they may sweeten the deal for the buyer will not be considered towards the finance value. You should also be aware that the bank doesn't care much about the actual condition of the unit within reason. Often they just assume the condition is average for the year models and miles on the truck and don't even inspect the unit. Good luck but be prepared to take a hit as your underwater.

As for how to sell it. Do it yourself. Do NOT use a broker! That's just another 5-8% loss on your rig (brokerage fee)! Be very aware of scam artists that will say they can sell your rig for you at no costs.

You can list on Craigslist or other similar sites but be very aware of scams! Only do business on the financial side in person at a public place like a bank. And do not trust anyone. Do not simply take a check and let them drive off. Wait until the check clears the bank!!!! An honest person will understand, a crook will try to pressure you.

Best of luck to you.
