Finding a full-size truck that balances cost, reliability, and durability can be a challenge.

Thankfully, new research from iSeeCars, which analyzed prices and life expectancy of over 3.8 million new cars, has identified the full-size trucks that provide the best price per year of expected lifespan.

Whether you’re looking to purchase a truck for the first time or are just considering a switch, you’ll want to see how the options rank against each other.

1. Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra tops the list as the best-value full-size truck. With an average price of $61,794 and an expected lifespan of 15.6 years, it costs just $3,966 per year to own.

4. GMC Sierra 1500

GMC’s Sierra 1500 lands in fourth place with a price per year of $5,178. It costs more upfront at $65,909 but is expected to last 12.7 years. That puts it just above the segment average in terms of long-term value.

The Ford F-150, America’s best-selling truck, ranks fifth. Despite a relatively affordable list price of $59,584, its 11-year lifespan results in a price per year of $5,398, making it one of the pricier options when considering long-term value.

6. Ram 1500

Finally, the Ram 1500 takes the last spot on the list. With a price of $62,080 and a lifespan of 11.4 years, its price per year reaches $5,468—the highest among the six models. While it remains a popular option, it offers less value per year compared to its competitors.

Final thoughts

Full-size trucks remain a popular choice for buyers who need durability, towing capacity, and long-term reliability. The Toyota Tundra leads the pack with the lowest cost per year of ownership, while the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Nissan Titan offer lower average list prices compared to other options in the list.

Meanwhile, Ford and Ram’s strong brand appeal might not be enough to offset their higher costs over time. With careful research, truck buyers can find a model that delivers the best balance of cost, performance, and dependability for years to come.
