Ford F-150 Lightning keeps an estimated 68% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #171 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ford F-150 Lightning retains an estimated 68% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #171 of 684 cars we track. That is 31 points above the 37% five-year average for EV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ford F-150 Lightning sheds about 15% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $54,995 it falls to around $37,561 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,434, about $9.55 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Ford F-150 Lightning bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
