Why are used trucks so expensive?
Why do used trucks still cost so much? I thought that used vehicles were supposed to be cheaper than new ones, but used trucks are still so expensive and I don’t get why.

You’re right that used
trucks
tend to be pricier than used cars. One reason that used trucks are so expensive is that, on average, trucks are more reliable over time.

Used trucks are often more difficult to find on the market than used cars because of their low depreciation rate. As such, sellers can hike up the prices without worrying about their competition.
