Over in the truck segment, subcompact crossovers and small pickups had the best week, as the average wholesale value for the vehicle segments improved 0.15% and 0.13%, respectively. Meanwhile, compact vans and full-size pickups saw the steepest depreciation among truck segment vehicles, depreciating 0.79% and 0.54, respectively, through the week.
