I definitely don't agree with the brutal depreciation. I bought a 2012 Ram 2500 Tradesman brand new in 2012 for 39,000. Bought that model because it was in my budget. Paid it off in 48 months. I got the itch for a new truck in April of 2018, 6 years later and traded it in for 33,000 and bought a 2500 Laramie. 6 years use 50k miles and only lost 6k. Thousand a year depreciation isn't bad. Diesels hold their value.
Of course you could have gotten perhaps $10,000 off in a straight sale, so you actually lost $16,000. Still not a bad deal, and probably better trade in than a gas truck.
