Top 10 Lifted Trucks That Hold Their Value the Best
When you're investing in a lifted truck, you're not just buying a vehicle—you're buying power, presence, and long-term potential. But let’s face it: not every truck holds value like a champ. If you want the kind of ride that turns heads today and gets you top dollar tomorrow, you’ve come to the right place.
At Lifted Trucks, we don’t just build trucks—we study them. We track resale trends, buyer demand, auction values, and real-world trade-ins every day. And after analyzing 30 years of market data (and selling thousands of custom rides), we’re laying out the top 10 lifted trucks that hold their value the best.
1. Ford F-150 Raptor
This beast practically prints money in resale. Thanks to its off-road pedigree, high-output twin-turbo V6 or 6.2L V8 (Gen 1), and cult-like fan base, lifted Raptors retain value like few others.
Bonus: Custom mods like beadlocks, chase racks, and coilover lifts only increase the demand.
2. Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
The Taco is small but mighty when it comes to resale. Add a tasteful lift, aggressive tires, and a roof rack, and you’ve got a mid-size monster that buyers can’t get enough of—especially in the off-road community.
Why it holds value: Legendary reliability + limited TRD Pro trims.
3. Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 / Trail Boss
Silverados come in many trims, but the Trail Boss and ZR2 with lifts retain value the best. Their factory off-road bones, when paired with pro-level aftermarket upgrades, make them irresistible on resale lots.
Hot Tip: Blacked-out builds move the fastest.
4. Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel
If you want diesel torque and resale swagger, the Ram 2500 is your move. Lift it right, and you'll attract ranchers, overlanders, and business buyers alike.
High resale appeal: Tow capacity + engine longevity + badass looks = top-tier value retention.
5. Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
Half pickup, half Jeep, fully badass. The Gladiator Rubicon—especially lifted—is wildly popular among adventure seekers and weekend warriors.
Lifted resale fact: Trail-rated capability + mod-ready platform + high social media presence = strong resale.
6. GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
This luxury-meets-lifted truck wins over buyers who want rugged capability without giving up comfort. When equipped with a tasteful lift and premium wheels, the Sierra AT4 becomes a top resale contender.
7. Ford Super Duty (F-250/F-350)
Super Duty trucks don’t just hold value—they command it. Lifted versions are in constant demand with contractors, RVers, and big rig enthusiasts.
Diesel-powered versions with low miles can fetch resale numbers that’ll blow your boots off.
8. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
The OG off-roader. While not technically a “truck,” lifted 4-door Rubicons with aftermarket bumpers, wheels, and suspension resell like hotcakes.
Bonus: Many buyers already expect them to be modified, so value-adds are easy to justify.
9. Ram 1500 Rebel
When lifted right, the Rebel delivers a mean, functional stance that buyers love.
Value key: Air ride suspension from the factory doesn’t mix well with extreme lifts, so we do it the smart way—boosting long-term reliability and resale.
10. Chevy Colorado ZR2
This mid-size trail machine may surprise you, but it’s got a loyal following. Lifted ZR2s with tasteful mods hold value incredibly well among outdoorsy buyers and Overlanding fans.
Pro tip: Add a tent rack or light bar for extra curb (and trail) appeal.
What Makes a Lifted Truck Hold Its Value?
Here’s the not-so-secret sauce:
-
Strong OEM foundation: Trucks that start off desirable (Raptor, Rubicon, TRD Pro) hold value better.
-
Professional modifications: Lifted Trucks ensures every upgrade is installed by pros, with top-shelf parts.
-
Low miles, clean CarFax: Buyers want a truck with a story—not a headache.
-
Tasteful customization: No clown lifts or 40" mud tires on stock gears. We build it right for the next buyer.
