Does 3 yrs. make a big difference in the blue book truck prices?

Posted on February 23rd, 2009 by admin under truck blue book.


Few trucks retain 50% of their initial value after 5 years - so one takes a heavy hit in the first 3 years. Toyotas and Nissans tend to hold their resale value a little better than the American cars. Of the Big 3 - probably Dodge holds resale value better than Ford or Chevy.

Edmunds published the Top 10 Trucks and SUVs with the Best Residual Value. The Ford F350 Super Duty came in 9th - behind the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma.

On the other hand of the scale, The Ford Ranger and the Mazda B-Series Truck (basically the same vehicle) wound up having the Worst Residual Value.
