7 trucks with high resale value

The F-150 isn’t the only Ford that holds its resale value well, and with this model, there’s actually some correlation between its reliability and performance. I’m talking about the Ford Maverick, the company’s newest compact pickup truck. Unlike the larger F-150, the Maverick has received pretty good reliability ratings from both Consumer Reports and JD Power, with the former placing it firmly in the 70s and the latter in the 80s (both out of 100). Of course, since it’s a smaller truck, it doesn’t get driven as hard, which means it doesn’t wear out as quickly.

Another reason the Maverick currently has a good resale rate, which MotorTrend estimates at about 65.6% after five years, comes from the Jeep Gladiator, a pickup truck that’s only been around since the 2022 model year. Ford has been a pickup truck institution in the United States for decades, so creating a brand-new truck to complement that legendary lineup is going to generate a lot of interest. That interest, in turn, helps keep prices on the Maverick pretty high. However, its newness makes it a somewhat risky investment. The Ford Maverick may be enjoying a surge in interest right now, but it can be difficult to predict whether that interest will continue for many years to come. Fortunately, it has a reliability factor on its side, so even when the novelty shine wears off, it still has inherent value on the open market.
