8. Toyota 4Runner

The days when SUV manufacturers built vehicles based off their existing truck models is pretty much over. As tends to be the case when the primary market doesn’t produce a lot of a particular type of ride any more, the 4Runner does very well with used vehicle buyers. By most measures, the 4Runner holds onto between 66 and 72 percent of its initial sale price if sold after three years of ownership.

It’s actually a cousin of the Toyota Hilux Surf, which you may recall from TV footage of such third-world hells as Somalia and Afghanistan. Toyota simply put a different fiberglass shell on the Hilux, and away the 4Runner went. That said, the 4Runner’s pedigree means that it’s tough, powerful and durable. It lacks the ideal fuel economy of other Toyota models, but its four-wheel drive capacity is awesome.
