Depreciation, the difference between the amount you pay to buy a car and the amount you receive when you sell or exchange it is one of the factors that influence the total costs of owning a car. Although most vehicles lose value over time, it is worse for some than others. That is why many people consider it a necessary job to think about the future depreciation perspectives of a vehicle before they take the leap. A ISECARS Study showed that trucks are the vehicle type with the slowest depreciation in 2025, and only lost 40.4% of their value by the time they are five years old. This is slightly better than for hybrid cars, which write off by 40.7% in the same time frame.
On the other hand, different trucks with different speeds appear, and the balance between supply and demand plays a crucial role in defining car descriptions. This means that the amount of depreciation for the same truck will vary from time to time, depending on the state of the economy, making it impossible to precisely predict future values.
As the assessment of depreciation is not an exact science, we have the ISEECARS list with the ISEECARS Carved’s truck registration data. And we found minimal overlap between the two, where the sites only had one new truck in common. That is why we have referred to the findings of both Iseecars and Caredge to make this list.
Honda Ridgeline: could lose 42.4% of the value in five years
The medium-sized pick-up of Honda has been brought into the spotlight because of its slick car-like treatment and comfortable interior, as guaranteed by its Unibody Platform and Ultra-comfortable seats. You will also receive many attractive functions as standard, including a 9-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless smartphone charger, keyless entry and three-zone automatic climate control. Even before you consider that the Ridgeline is one of the most reliable pick -up trucks to buy, according to a study of consumer reports.
If there is one important point of criticism, it is that the Honda truck only offers a lonely power train option-a naturally sealed 3.5-liter V6 that produces 280 hp and 262 pound-foot torque with a single configuration that combines a four-door crew style with a 5-foot-4-inch intestine. However, there can also be a bit of a disadvantage if you are at the points of sale of the Ridgeline scale, because Iseecars predicts that it could throw 42.4% of its value in five years.
RAM 1500: could lose 42.8% of the value in five years
The RAM 1500 is one of the comfortable Half-Ton Pick-up trucks on the market, thanks to the standard rinsing revenue of the rear coil, which helps to smooth the ride over bumps. It is also reasonably capable, it appears from his ability to drag up to 11,580 pounds and wear a load of 2,300 pounds, and it has a lot of passenger space. But you can notice that those desired properties cost at a costs if it is time to exchange or sell it.
According to the projections of ISECars, a RAM could lose 1500 42.8% of its value during the first five years, slightly higher than the truck average of 40.4%. This also represents a slight decrease in value for the Half-Ton Truck compared to its predecessors from the model years 2022 and 2023, which according to Iseecar’s estimates could throw 41.3% of their value in half a decade.
GMC Sierra 2500 HD: can lose 45% of the value in five years
If you choose the GMC Sierra 2500 HD, Caredge discovered that you may lose around 45% of the amount you have paid for the time you are ready to sell. That is important, especially given the average selling price of the truck of $ 87,897. It means that it can experience a huge depreciation of $ 39,650 after five years and 60,000 miles, giving you a detained value of $ 48,247.
In defense, the Sierra 2500 HD is a compelling package that finds a good balance between luxury, performance and possibilities. You can choose between two engine options: a 6.6-liter V8 petrol engine with 401 hp and 464 LB-FT torque and a 6.6-liter V8 Duramax-Turbodiesel that produces 470 hp and a sturdy 975 LB-FT torque. There are also a large number of kidding, such as an available 13.4-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital meter cluster, navigation, wireless devices, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Ford F-2550 Super Duty: can lose 45% of the value in five years
Ford Super Duty Trucks were thoroughly updated for 2023. So the model still has a fresh face. That also means a modern and comfortable interior with available facilities such as heated and ventilated front seats with massage, heated back chairs, a heated steering wheel, memory settings for the driver’s seat and a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Under the hood you can choose to equip the heavy truck with a 405-hp 6.8-liter V8, a 430-hp 7.3-liter V8 or a 6.7-liter diesel V8 that produce 475 hp and 1,050 LB-FT in standard state or 1,200 lb-ft of torp in high output.
It is a truck that scores many points. But it can also bring you back when it is time to sell, where Caredge discovers that his five -year depreciation is steep at 45%. Based on an average selling price of $ 72,489, which is a loss of $ 32,656 for the original owners in just five years, which is a lot.
Ford F-150: could lose 51% of the value in five years
The Ford F-series has been the best-selling pick-up in America for decades. It enjoys a cult that must be followed in part, partly for its powerful motorcycle options, wide range of decorations and configurations, exceptional towing and loading capacity, as well as numerous interior functions. But even with its popularity, the F-150 has the worst depreciation percentage of each pick-up truck with 51% (the data from Iseecars set this at 43.4%), which means that it can seriously influence the finances of owners when they decide to sell it-with no less than $ 31,583, according to Careed. That leaves the average residual value of five years at $ 30,245.
The data from Caredge assuming an annual mileage of 12,000 miles and an average purchase price of $ 61,927 for a new F-150. The current misery of the F-150 are probably partially due to an abundance that dealers has left with a lot of inventory as the sale continues to delay. Caredge reports The F-150 is currently one of them The slowest selling trucks in 2025On average 115 days to sell and with 116,720 units old stock still for grasping from July. Such a massive oversupply will push down values naturally, because the market for used car feels the abundance.
