Ford F-150 Depreciation

A Ford F-150 will depreciate 24% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $45,328.

The F-150 pick-up has been the best-selling vehicle since the beginning of time. One thing that keeps them going, is that they hold their value very well, and they are a good investment, from a vehicle perspective. The F-150 ranks in our Top 10 models in years 3 and 5, but trails the Silverado as more goes by. However, the results are so close, that the choice between Ford and Chevy should be based upon other factors, and not just value retention.

It also assumes a selling price of $59,650 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually.

Buying a Ford F-150 New vs Used

If you purchase a used Ford F-150 that is 2 years old, then you could save $6,347 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $7,975. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used F-150 models become available.
