Which Ford Ranger trim should I buy?

The 2024 Ford Ranger offers these trims:

• XL: The entry trim keeps the Ranger focused on value and work-truck basics, and it suits you if you want the lowest starting point.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim, adding the equipment balance most shoppers will want, along with the safety suite on this trim and above.
• Lariat: This trim adds a more upscale feel with 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.
• Raptor: This is the off-road-focused trim, bringing a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6, 2.5-inch Fox shocks, 10.7-inch ground clearance, and front and rear locking differentials.

What Ford Ranger do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. More listings also make it easier for you to compare condition and find a truck that fits your budget.

What is the Ford Ranger's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Ranger lineup, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The largest drops are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while newer models are declining 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.
