Sorry to hear about your brother.
You won't be paying any inheritance tax on your brother's truck because inheritance taxes only apply to multimillion dollar estates. The size of an estate in which inheritance taxes are applicable varies from state to state, but generally there aren't any inheritance taxes unless it is a multimillion dollar estate.
