Per VINdown's modeling, the Ford F-250 retains an estimated 64% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #147 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Ford F-250 sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $46,965 it falls to around $30,151 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,814, about $9.21 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Ford F-250 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
