2021 F-150 Raptor lease deals look even better than the RAM TRX.
"According to the publication, which says it obtained dealer lease bulletins, the 2021 TRX has a 56-percent residual value for a 36-month, 15,000-mile-per-year lease. A vehicle’s residual value helps determine its lease payment, as a lower residual value often means the vehicle will have a higher monthly lease payment and vice versa. Residual values help financiers determine the monthly payment by divvying up a vehicle’s expected depreciation and other incidental costs over the lease agreement. Dealers still have to turn a profit when they get the vehicle back.
The TRX’s residual value increases to 58 percent for a 12,000-mile-per-year lease and to 59 percent for 10,000 miles a year. Comparatively, the Raptor fares better with a 63-percent residual value for 15,000 miles. That jumps to 65 percent for 12,000-mile-per-year leases and 68 percent for 10,500 miles a year. These numbers could change, though. A V8 variant will arrive in 2022 to better compete against the TRX, and Ford still has yet to release the performance specs for the standard 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the pickup."
