Per VINdown's modeling, the GMC Sierra 2500 retains an estimated 61% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #206 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the GMC Sierra 2500 sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $75,500 it falls to around $45,904 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,596, about $16.22 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used GMC Sierra 2500 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
