Get one that will last you the longest(best resale)


Meh. Resale shouldn't factor that largely into the truck you buy. No matter what kind of truck you get, it's gonna depreciate a shite-ton in it's first couple of years. I know KBB isn't worth a crap...but they have my truck worth a little more than $27,000 in excellent condition (it's damn near that). Really not terrible...given I was out the door after TT&L for a little over $36,000.

ETA: Laugh all you want, we've done this before. Post pictures of a GMC Denali interior, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn interior, and an F150 King Ranch interior. The Ram and F150 looks miles ahead of the GMC...

ETA2: It's also funny because none of you have even sat inside of any Ram, much less a loaded out 2010-2013 model.

I dunno about that one. Most people I know only keep trucks for ~5yrs. Resale should be a large factor in that case. FWIW, my truck has only lost $200 of value since I bought it. It was 2 years old, bought it for $26.9 and it was worth $26.7 last time I checked. That was 2 years and 40k miles ago. I have an unusual case b/c it booked out to $32k at the time I bought it. Spent a lot of time looking, but got a great deal


I forgot to add in my OP...everyone I have worked with has had either a Tundra or an F250. The Tundras ride kinda rough, but hold up really well to 50k miles a year with 1/4 of that being off-pavement. The interiors aren't that nice, but they are a solid truck.
