Should You Buy a Used Ford Ranger?
Thinking about a Ford Ranger? It's an early resale snapshot with too little model-year history for a long-term verdict. Favor the XL trim for the best resale, and always pull a vehicle-history report before buying.
Pros
- Proven longevity — examples regularly list past 150,000 miles and still sell for around $17,408.
- The XL trim holds its value best if resale matters to you.
Watch-outs
- The steepest single-year drop hits between 2020 and 2019 — buying brand-new costs you that loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ford Ranger trim holds its value best?
The XL retains the most value, depreciating about 13.1% on average across model years in our data. Trim choice can swing resale by thousands of dollars over a few years, because desirable trims stay in demand on the used market while stripped-down or niche trims sell at a discount. It's also worth comparing the trim premium new versus used — a pricier trim sometimes depreciates enough to become the smarter used buy. If you expect to resell, the XL is the safer bet; if you're keeping the car long-term, buy the trim with the features you actually want and worry less about resale.
Methodology
Depreciation is computed from 400 real used-car listings. Each listing's asking price is normalized to a standard 12,000 miles per year for the vehicle's age, adjusted by a 5% asking-to-sale estimate, and compared against the original base MSRP for that VIN's trim. Headline 1/3/5-year figures reflect a smoothed retention curve fitted across all model years (the typical trajectory); individual years in the table above can run above or below it with market conditions.
