7 Trucks With Great Resale Value

The F-150 is not the only Ford that retains its resale value well, and in the case of this one, there is actually some correlation to its reliability and performance. I am talking about the Ford Maverick, the company’s latest compact pickup truck. Unlike the larger F-150, the Maverick has actually received pretty good scores from both Consumer Reports and J.D. Power for its reliability, with the former placing it firmly in the 70s and the latter in the 80s (both out of 100). Because it is a smaller truck, it naturally won’t be driven as hard, allowing it to not incur wear and tear at such a rapid rate.

Another reason why the Maverick currently has a good resale rate, which MotorTrend estimates to be at about 65.6% after five years, goes back to the Jeep Gladiator. This is a pickup truck that has only been around since the 2022 model year. Ford has been a pickup truck institution in the United States for decades, so it creating a brand-new truck to join that legendary lineup will be able to generate a ton of interest. In turn, that interest helps keep the prices for the Maverick fairly high. Its newness does make it a somewhat risky investment, though. The Ford Maverick may be enjoying a surge of interest now, but it can be tough to determine if that interest will continue for many more years into the future. Luckily, it has a reliability factor on its side, so even if the novelty sheen wears off, it still has an inherent value on the open market.
