Looking for a reliable truck that will hold it's value? Being experts at finding and reselling pickup trucks, we know which will maintain the best resell value over time. Find out more: more Pickup Trucks with the Best Resale Value As prices for trucks rise, it's important to purchase one that will hold its value if you plan on reselling in the future. With a quickly depreciating truck, you may stick yourself in the unprofitable situation when looking to sell back your truck. At our dealerships, we specialize in finding quality, valuable trucks to stock our inventory with. Which means, our managers know what to buy and what not to buy. Let's take a look at which trucks they've seen hold the most resale value. The Top Trucks for Future Resale What to Look For How to Keep Your Truck's Value The Top Trucks for Future Resale Pickup trucks are a great investment and almost all are good at holding their value in comparison to sedans and SUVs. But over the years, there are a few that have held a pattern of depreciating slower than the rest. Here's what we are currently seeing hold the best resale value: Toyota Tacoma GMC Sierra Toyota Tundra Ford F150 Chevrolet Silverado Though, these are the current suggestions from our managers, it's important to understand how the resale value is evaluated and how it can change year after year. VIEW TRUCK INVENTORY What to Look For There are key markers that make a specific pickup truck valuable. Let's start with the basics. Why are prices generally higher for specific models? There are 2 answers to this: Supply & Demand and Brand Name. Supply and demand affects pricing for almost every product, and trucks are no exception. The more trucks of a specific kind are available, the lower the resale price will be. For example, right now RAMs are saturating the marketing (high supply), making their price lower. Contrarily, a rare truck will continue to hold its value even after years (low supply, higher demand). Next, you have the big brand names people favor. For example, Ford and Toyota. Those brands have a long standing track record of quality pickup trucks, but this doesn't mean the competition isn't on par. A full evaluation of a product is suggested. Also, our managers mentioned a few other features and specs you should keep an eye out for. These could increase the value and help the truck maintain a higher resale value: Ecoboost Engine (higher MPG and can tow just as much as comparable options) Longbeds (rare) Crew Cabs > Quad Cabs (truck becoming more frequently used by families) Higher than Average Towing Capacity Rare Modifications i.e. lifting, rims, tailgate features Trucks with Limited-Time Factory Features, e.g. massage seats The above are only a few of the value-adding features you may see in your search. VIEW TRUCK INVENTORY How to Keep Your Truck's Value Once you do find the pickup truck you wanted, it's important to retain as much of its value as you can. The best ways to do this is to service the vehicle regularl y and add in protection i.e. undercoating. Undercoating, especially in areas that snow, is extremely important. It protects your trucks underbelly from corrosion and rust caused by debris, salt, water, and more. Lastly, you can put money into your truck and get some modifications. In doing this your truck becomes a rare find and increases it's resale value. Now you're ready to shop for your new truck.

Buying the right car; hatchbacks vs sedans! What's the difference? Which one has more space? Let's take a side by side look at these two car body styles: more The increasingly popular hatchbacks are sweeping the market, but are they the better option when deciding between purchasing a hatchback vs a sedan? By evaluating your lifestyle and the pros/cons of owning a hatchback, you can make the best decision for your next vehicle. Let's take a look at: Cargo Space Single Compartment Visibility Hatchback vs Sedan Purchasing a car is the second biggest buying decision in most people's lives. Narrowing down the perfect vehicle to spend your hard earned money on, isn't always simple. Looking at smaller, more compact cars you have the options of a sedan or hatchback. Both vehicles are for 5 passengers and about the same in gas mileage. What is a hatchback? A hatchback is a car with one compartment with the passenger area and cargo area. There is no partition, like in a sedan. The back trunk door, a 'hatch' or 'lift gate', swings up like an 5th door. In the photo above, you can see an example of a hatchback on the left and a traditional sedan on the right. Below see an example of the open left gate. Value Your Trade - Browse 400+ Vehicles Cargo Space The available trunk spaces on the two vehicle body types is one of the main reasons people opt for the hatchback. Being as the trunk and passenger area are one large compartment, the available storage area in a hatchback is much greater and enables cargo to be loaded and unloaded more easily. The seats can be folded how to more than double that cargo space in hatchbacks. In a sedan, if you're lucky you'll be able to fold down part of the seat to fit a small long item. This is sometimes only available on upper trim levels for sedans. For example, the Mitsubishi Mirage has 17.5 cu ft of cargo space without the seats down and 47 cu ft with the seats down. Alternatively, the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 (sedan version of the Mirage) has a max cargo space of 12.6 cu ft. Hatchback Sedan Single Compartment The single compartment of cargo and passenger areas may be beneficial for storage, there are some downsides to it. Being as the hatchback's cargo area is connected to the passenger area, the cargo is 'loose'. Meaning it is not contained within a closed space. This can be a negative because it can cause increased noise and in the case of an accident could fly into the passenger area. Also, the connected cargo compartment enables people outside of the vehicle to see into the trunk area through the windows. A way to combat this is to get a cargo shield (as seen in the Hatchback photo above), which blocks the line of sight into the trunk from outside. Lastly, since it has more interior space, this will slightly affect the speed and energy needed to warm/cool the cabin, as well as increase the solar heat adding into the vehicle. Visibility What we mean by visibility is the driver's visibility behind him or her while on the road. A hatchback offers a larger range of sight for the driver. Since the back of the vehicle is more vertical, the window provides more area to see in the rear view mirror. Hatchbacks are still on the up and up, and are not as available as sedans are. There are few models that offer a hatchback and a sedan options i.e. Mitsubishi Mirage (G4), Kia Forte(5), and Honda Civic. There are also many great only-hatchback options in the market like the Kia Soul and Kia Stinger. Which features fits your lifestyle?
