The 2025 iSeeCars study pinpoints which pickups hang on to their value best even after five years on the road.
Ford Maverick
This compact pickup stands out by retaining a notable 63.1% of its original value. Its edge is urban versatility: modest dimensions make it easy to maneuver and park in tight traffic, while the efficient hybrid powertrain keeps fuel use in check. That combination makes it a smart choice for city drivers who still need the practicality of a truck bed.
Toyota Tundra
This full-size Japanese pickup holds on to 71.3% of its value after five years. The result is linked to modern tech, including an advanced multimedia system with a large 14-inch touchscreen, intuitive voice control, and a range of intelligent driver-assistance features. Under the hood, the Tundra offers engines from a measured 348 horsepower up to an impressive 437 hp, a spread that suits everything from commuting to heavy towing.
Toyota Tacoma
Toyota’s midsize pickup shows strong value retention at 73.7%. It remains in demand for its reputation for reliability, serious off-road capability, and a distinctive option: a manual transmission that rivals rarely offer. Buyers also tend to single out the model’s comfort and ease of control away from paved roads, which only reinforces its appeal to adventure-minded drivers.
Ford F-350 Super Duty
This heavy-duty workhorse from Ford preserves 74.6% of its value over the first five years. Its payload capability reaches impressive levels, making it suitable for demanding construction tasks and hauling bulky cargo. Inside, comfortable seats and premium materials help long stretches behind the wheel feel far less taxing than the job might suggest.
Ram 3500
Finally, the standout of the list is the Ram 3500, which retains a class-leading 76.6% of its original value. It draws attention with a high level of cabin comfort, quality interior finishes, and outstanding payload characteristics—proof that a heavy-duty truck can work hard without shortchanging the people inside.
