Most of the loss lands early: the Chevrolet Silverado 3500hd sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,300 it falls to around $23,631 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,669, about $8.04 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Chevrolet Silverado 3500hd bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
