Why Residual Value Matters to Work Truck Fleets
Residual value isn’t just a number, it’s the cornerstone of managing long-term vehicle costs. For fleets, a truck or van that holds its value better means reduced depreciation and lower total ownership costs. And for everyday buyers, it’s a way to maximize the return when it’s time to sell or trade in.
This year’s winners show why value retention matters, especially in today’s competitive market.
As Danny Battaglia, managing director of ALG customer success at J.D. Power, explains, “Top brands consistently employ a balanced strategy with regard to trim levels, powertrains, and pricing, which helps bolster residual performance and long-term value for consumers shopping in a highly competitive market.”
From the work-ready GMC Sierra 3500 HD to the versatile Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, this year’s top trucks and vans deliver big when it comes to performance and value.
