10 Pickup Trucks That Hold Their Value Best Over Time

The Tacoma and Tundra lead current resale-value examples, while Maverick, Ranger, Canyon, and heavy-duty trucks also rank strongly within their classes. See why KBB projections and iSeeCars used-market figures must be compared separately.

The Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra stand out in current resale-value research, but the best pickup for holding value depends on its size class and on how the estimate was calculated. The figures below bring together Kelley Blue Book’s projections for 2026-model-year trucks and iSeeCars’ comparison of new prices with equivalent five-year-old used trucks. Those methods measure different things, so their percentages should be read separately—not as one shared ranking.

How to read the rankings

Kelley Blue Book (KBB) and iSeeCars use different methods. KBB’s 2026 Best Resale Value Awards project the five-year residual value of 2026-model-year vehicles as a percentage of original MSRP. KBB says its estimates draw on its Official Residual Value Guide and analyst review of statistical-model output built on millions of transactions; the projected values represent auction prices for average-condition vehicles with 75,000 miles after five years. See KBB’s 2026 award results and its award-method description.

iSeeCars’ 2026 truck rankings compare new MSRP with the price of an equivalent five-year-old used vehicle. Its ranking page says the analysis covered more than 3 million vehicles. That is a used-market comparison, not a projection for 2026 models; it should not be directly compared with KBB’s projected percentages as if both studied the same trucks under the same conditions. Read the details at iSeeCars’ 2026 truck resale rankings.

The ten models below are drawn from iSeeCars’ separate truck-class rankings, not from a single overall top-ten list. They are grouped by class to make comparisons more useful. Heavy-duty trucks serve different capability needs and are not direct substitutes for compact or midsize pickups.

Compact pickups

Ford Maverick

iSeeCars reports a 68.2% five-year resale value for the Maverick in its small-truck ranking. Separately, KBB projects a 54.1% five-year residual value for the 2026 Maverick and names it the winner of KBB’s compact-pickup category. The percentages reflect different providers, vehicle cohorts, and methods; they are not competing measurements of the same group of trucks.

Midsize pickups

Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma leads the examples from both providers. iSeeCars reports an 80.5% five-year resale value in its midsize-truck ranking. KBB projects a 63.0% five-year residual for the 2026 Tacoma, ranking it first among KBB’s overall ten award winners. The difference does not indicate a contradiction: one is a used-market comparison and the other a forward-looking model-year projection.

GMC Canyon

iSeeCars reports a 66.8% five-year resale value for the Canyon in its midsize-truck ranking. No KBB figure for the Canyon is established here, so there is no comparable KBB projection to list.

Full-size pickups

Toyota Tundra

iSeeCars reports an 80.3% five-year resale value for the Tundra in its full-size ranking. KBB’s projected five-year residual for the 2026 Tundra is 59.9%, second among KBB’s overall award winners. These figures come from separate analyses and should be interpreted on their own terms.

Heavy-duty pickups

iSeeCars identifies these four models among the leading trucks in its heavy-duty category. Their reported percentages are useful within that class; they do not establish how a heavy-duty truck compares with a compact, midsize, or full-size pickup for a buyer’s particular needs.

What the percentages can—and cannot—tell you

These rankings estimate retained value; they do not guarantee what a particular owner will receive when selling or trading in a specific truck. Condition, mileage, configuration, local demand, and the market at the time of sale can affect an individual vehicle’s price. The cited rankings do not establish total ownership cost or determine which truck best fits a buyer’s work, towing, or daily-driving needs.

For broader context, KBB says its 2026 overall top-ten award vehicles are projected to retain at least 55% of MSRP after five years, compared with about 45% for the average vehicle. Those figures cover the overall award list and all vehicles in the comparison, not trucks alone; they are not a truck-only benchmark.
