Most of the loss lands early: the Dodge Ram 1500 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $25,100 it falls to around $16,189 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,911, about $4.88 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Dodge Ram 1500 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
