I am looking for a half ton pickup to tow a travel trailer and boat. I'm not choosy, the Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota will all do just fine. What I am strating to notice is how well they retain their value (not a good thing when buying used). I am seeing 1-2 year old F150 XLTs selling for close to original price. With rebates, it is possible to pick one up for $23,000 to $24,000. I am seeing vehicles with 25,000 miles selling for $20,000. Seems crazy.
