Correct. It assumes equal depreciation rates to the Tacoma, so anyone looking to sell after 5 years and get the "latest and greatest" may not be at that much of a loss. Just more up front costs. For those of us planning to hold for the long haul, 10 years is near break even point. After that, it's savings.The best "value" will vary from person to person... But if I'm reading your numbers, correctly, the difference in monthly cost between a Tacoma and R1T is only $334 a month over 5 years or $63 a month over 10 years... For me, the R1T delivers SO MUCH MORE than the Tacoma, that I would gladly pay a $334 premium... And keeping the truck for 10 years the $63 premium is a no-brainer.
It's the same logic for going solar, up front investments for longer term returns, a concept understandably hard for most Americans to swallow. "It's my money and I need it now!"
