Odds are, you aren't going to drive that new car forever.

When you do decide to sell it, whether it's a few years from now or a decade, your overall ownership cost can directly benefit from the money you recoup.

That's why choosing a long-serving set of wheels based solely on the best loan rate or the biggest incentives isn't enough to guarantee you'll get the most out of your vehicle.

But keeping resale value in mind is one of the best ways to ease the sting of depreciation if you plan on buying a new car.

And the process doesn't have to involve guesswork and witchcraft.

Average vehicles will be worth 33 percent of their original price after 60 months, according to Kelley Blue Book, while the 10 vehicles on this year's annual list of 2018 models will return an average of 51 percent to their owner's pockets.

This year, trucks and SUVs dominated the top of the resale value charts as Americans continue the trend of buying roomier rides. The Subaru WRX was the lone vehicle, ranking in at number 10 in 2018.

The vehicles are:

1. Toyota Tacoma

2. Toyota Tundra

3. Toyota 4Runner

4. Jeep Wrangler

5. GMC Sierra

6. Chevrolet Silverado

7. Ford F-Series

8. Chevrolet Colorado

9. Honda Ridgeline

10. Subaru WRX

Each of the cars on the list holds its value better than 95 percent of the new vehicles available that year.
