Leaderboard FAQ
Answers use the same data and method as above.
How we rank (n ≥ 20, shrinkage, 5% trim)
- Real-world figures only with ≥ 20 cars, each with ≥ 3 months of data
- Scores pulled towards the segment average so thin samples can't jump to the top
- Top & bottom 5% dropped, anomalies filtered
- Not enough data: projected by the CarCost engine (1,500 km/month, cash, HCMC fees)
- No payment to add, hide or reorder anything

Which pickups hold their value best in 2026?
In the data updated Oct 12, 2026, Ford Ranger ranks first with 68%, followed by Ford Ranger Raptor (68%) and Isuzu D-Max (68%).
Why are some cars marked “Projected”?
When fewer than 20 cars of a model share data, CarCost estimates it with the engine on standard assumptions: 1,500 km/month, cash purchase, HCMC fees. The model switches to “Real-world” once there is enough data.
How is resale value computed?
Real resale prices (shared by owners when they sell) divided by the list price at purchase, after 3 years. Without enough data CarCost uses the segment's standard depreciation curve and labels it “Projected”.
Can car brands pay to rank higher?
No. CarCost does not sell positions and every board uses the same public method. A row under review may be hidden temporarily, which never changes the other cars' ranks.
