So looked at a 2006 Tacoma over the weekend. It had 87,000 original owner miles on it and had never been wrecked. Some quick research showed it retailed for $26,000 in 2006 with what it had on it.
Truck was listed at $20,500 on craigslist. I thought it looked clean but just couldn't spend that much. Guy in line behind me paid the full $20,500.
For all out resale value, I can't think of a truck that beats a Toyota Tacoma. Maybe it is just a Colorado thing, but they are the best I have seen.

What does www.KBB.com show for fair market value in your zip code? Toyotas, in general, tend to have high resale prices around here. I've seen some older Sequoias seller for nearly double what I would have paid for them.

That resale value holds true here as well. I know two guys that bought new Toyota Tacomas because anything 2 yrs. old was so close in price. But the all time winner are the cummins engined Dodge Rams. I bought mine in 2006 and paid a little over $26,000 for it. Get this. I can get about that much for it now..... E

I bought a brand new 2008 3/4 ton Ram, Bighorn edition in November, 2008 for $29,000.00. I drove it for 4 years/63,000 miles and got $27,000.00 out of it when I bought a new 2012 Ram in January 2013...

I lost almost as much as Shrapnel's $27,000 sale on the combined sales of two Dodge Ram trucks. One a year old and the other 25 months old.
On the other hand my Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is worth 5 times what I paid for it 19 years ago.

Considering the amount of salt that highway departments spread on the roads in much of New England, I'm surprised that there is any original ferric metal on a 19 year old vehicle.

The brine liquid they dump now is like a deep sea salt bath. New isn't even considered unless you can swap every 2 or 3 years..

Originally titled in 1979, this 37 year old FJ40's never been in New England. I keep it at the farm in PA. The original owner got sick in 1981. His family rolled the Land Cruiser into a PA barn and there it sat until 1997. It has the original spare tire on the back. Aside from Highway Department Winter salt and liquid snow melt application, costal New England has salt air/fog blown in from the Atlantic.

Shrapnel, If you ever get testicular cancer, have no fear. I know a few people who would give their left nut for that car.

I still beat myself up over passing a CHERRY 79 FJ40 with an engine knock for $2500 about 10 years ago
