Ford F150 - 58%
Silverado - 51%
GMC - 51%
Ram - 46%
Nissan - 42%
These are 2015 numbers ,looks like the alloy F150 is not a dumb move .Nissan was a surprise to me.

If those were the only problems I had. Those plus tons more. Traded after 1 year and 19,000 miles. Lucky to walk away unhurt from that truck after brakes failed.
Yes I suspect brake failure isn't any fun!

I think it reasonable to assume the numbers used are far more reliable and accurate than anecdotal experiences related on a public Forum.
That is funny. I was thinking maybe they were using the leasing arms residual values. But it is the other way around. I only leased two vehicles in my lifetime but in both cases the residual ended up being very close to the market value at lease turn in. If this is the case I would be comfortable using their figures. Thank you for the update.
By far, the majority of leasing in the U.S. is through the captive finance arms of the manufacturer...Chrysler Credit, Ford Motor Credit, Mercedes Credit, etc. These lenders, for the most part, base their residuals on ALG Guides. In some isolated cases they will use slightly higher residuals on certain models using manufacturer subsidies for competitive purposes.
Is the ALG Leasing Guide available to the general public online?
There are numerous sites on-line that use ALG numbers but I have never seen a site that uses the actual ALG formatting.

Those are exactly what I would had thought. I'm surprised Nissan was as high at it was with the unreliable Titan and other substantial problems Nissan has. I learned my lesson with Nissan.
Rear end failure? Dashboard rattle galore?

For 1/2 tons this may be true. But I can tell you that in this neck of the woods Ram with the Cummins diesel has the best resale value in the HD class. They are a very desirable truck that do not last long when listed.
I purchased a 05 Dodge 2500 cummins before it was even detailed and put on the lot for a very cheap price, but I believe part of that was because it had a manual tranny that many don't really want anymore.

This is insanity to me. I would never pay 4 k less than it would cost me to buy brand new with a full warranty.
This reminds me of when my mother was vehicle shopping, I found a used Ford Escape at carmax with a no haggle price of ~250 dollars more than a brand new Escape at the Ford dealer down the street.
I completely agree. They had a 2014 used with the 5.7 hemi and a few more options than the 1 I bought for 3000 less than the new one I bought. I would take new. But when they offered me 4000 less and good rebates and price on the new one I couldn't resist. I did buy the other one for a real good price when I bought it.
