Ford F-150 Depreciation & Resale Value

Ford F-150 keeps an estimated 59% of its recent market value after 5 years — #237 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Ford F-150 retains an estimated 59% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #237 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Ford F-150 sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,060 it falls to around $22,928 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,132, about $8.84 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Ford F-150 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
