What the numbers say

A 2021 Chevrolet Silverado still asks 57% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 19 pickups we price, that ranks #10, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 8 (−21.5%), after which losses ease to about 8.5% a year. Mileage costs it 41%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 8,467 listings.
