Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Which Ford Ranger trim should I buy?

The 2024 Ford Ranger offers these trims:

• XL: The entry trim starts at $32,720 and gives you the Ranger’s core capability in a straightforward package.

• Lariat: This trim adds a short, widened gear selector, push-button start, automatic parallel and perpendicular parking, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, a 12.4-inch instrument panel, a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo, and 360-degree cameras.

What Ford Ranger do most buyers choose?

The Ford Ranger years with the most listings are 2020, 2021, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection at prices that still sit below newer model years. That combination makes it easier to compare trims, mileage, and condition while staying within a more approachable budget.

What is the Ford Ranger's resale value?

Most Ranger model years are down year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the older and mid-cycle years, while the newest examples are falling more slowly. That pattern gives you more room to find value without giving up the Ranger’s core capability.

The 2025, 2023, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Ford Ranger now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.08% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.74%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,062. The Ford Ranger offers strong towing capability, practical utility, and a versatile character that works well for both daily driving and weekend projects.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The standard 2.3-liter turbo inline-four and 10-speed automatic transmission are carryover, and they're more than sufficient at providing swift and smooth acceleration at any speed; the engine makes 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet on regular-grade fuel.
• Tech: A 10-inch portrait touchscreen is standard on the XL and a 12-inch comes on all other trims, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are thoughtfully resized to take up the majority of the display instead of a small square.
• Safety: The base XL trim does not come with any driver assists, but the XLT and above trims have standard forward and reverse emergency braking, auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, front cross-traffic braking, and evasive steering assist.
• Starting price: The 2024 Ford Ranger starts at $32,720 for the XL with RWD.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
