Ford's lineup is diverse, ranging from affordable compact SUVs to niche sports cars and a plethora of pickup trucks. When it comes to resale value, Ford models vary widely. While some have poor resale value, others rank among the best in the industry. Here are five Ford models with excellent resale value, based on five-year depreciation figures:
Ford F-150: The F-150 is a stalwart of the American auto market, with a five-year depreciation rate of 37.9% according to iSeeCars. This rate varies due to the model's diverse range of variants, from basic work trucks to the powerful F-150 Raptor R. The Raptor R, in particular, is in high demand on the secondhand market, boosting the F-150's overall resale value.
Ford Ranger: Mid-sized pickup trucks generally hold their value well, and the Ford Ranger is no exception. With a five-year depreciation rate of 30%, the Ranger is one of Ford's best-performing vehicles in the resale department. The enthusiast-oriented Ford Ranger Raptor holds its value exceptionally well, with some 2024 and 2025 models selling for nearly the same price as their MSRPs.
Ford Mustang: The iconic Ford Mustang has strong resale value, with a five-year depreciation rate of 22% according to iSeeCars. However, this rate varies due to the wide price range of the Mustang lineup. The track-focused Dark Horse model, for example, sells for at least twice as much as the base cars, skewing the average.
Ford F-Series Super Duty: The F-Series Super Duty lineup, comprising the F-250, F-350, and F-450, is among Ford's lowest-depreciating models. The F-350 Super Duty has the best resale value, with a five-year depreciation of 19.6% according to iSeeCars. The F-450 and F-250 Super Duty have depreciation figures of 22% and 23.6%, respectively.
Ford Maverick: The Ford Maverick, Ford's smallest and most unconventional pickup, has strong resale value. With a five-year depreciation rate of 31.6%, the Maverick's combination of small size, great fuel efficiency, and affordable price makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a sensible vehicle with strong resale potential.
Methodology: The list was compiled using five-year depreciation data from CarEdge and iSeeCars. While these averages provide a baseline for comparison, real-world depreciation varies based on vehicle trim, options, condition, and location. Additionally, the wide range of pickup truck options can skew published depreciation numbers.
