Toyota Tundra Hammers The Ford F-150 In One Crucial Area

The outgoingToyota Tundrahad been surpassed by newer rivals from Ford and Ram as it soldiered on with a dated cabin, poor handling, and disappointing gas mileage. However, one area in which the Tundra remained one of the best was its ability to retain a high percentage of its value. Together with its bulletproof reliability, that made it a smart financial decision. Now that theall-new Tundrais here, should we expect the same? The answer is yes - at least, that's according to the results of the J.D. Power 2022 US ALG Residual Value Awards as well as an analysis byCarsDirect.

In the critical full-size pickup segment, the 2022 Toyota Tundra has been projected to have the best resale value by J.D. Power, outperforming rivals like theFord F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It's not only in the full-size segment that Toyota dominates, though. In the mid-size category, the 2022 Toyota Tacoma also bagged a win. According toCarsDirect, it's a similar story when it comes to the Tundra's residual values. The base Tundra SR CrewMax has the best residual value of 85% based on a 24-month lease and 12,000 miles per year, dropping to 79% with a 36-month lease. By comparison, the best that the Ford F-150 can do is 73% with a 24-month lease, but that only applies to the expensive PowerBoost hybrids.
