So true, Brenda. My buddy bought a Toyota Tundra and has been able to resell it for nearly what he paid. It’s amazing how some trucks hold their value!
On the flip side, there are trucks that depreciate fast. Some brands are definitely not known for holding value. Make sure to research before buying.
That’s really interesting. I’d love to hear which brands are the best and worst for resale value specifically!

I’m glad you asked, Helliott! Generally, Toyotas and Hondas have better resale values. Trucks like the Nissan Titan often lose value quickly.
Maintenance costs can also be sneaky. Some trucks require special parts that can be very pricey. It’s worth checking parts availability and cost.

And sometimes, the labor costs can be insane, too! Always good to shop around for a reliable mechanic.
I also suggest considering how often you’ll use the truck for towing. If it’s not frequently, the initial purchase price might not be worth it.

Great point, Allen! If you’re just occasionally towing, maybe a smaller truck like the Ford Ranger could do the job and save you on costs.

Whatever you choose, remember that maintaining safety while towing is paramount. No point saving a buck if it compromises safety!
