Per VINdown's modeling, the GMC Sierra 3500 retains an estimated 42% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #461 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 20 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the GMC Sierra 3500 sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $65,900 it falls to around $27,941 by year five — a five-year loss near $37,959, about $20.80 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used GMC Sierra 3500 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
