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 be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price, mileage, and condition mix. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop when you want a broad selection of trims and deal quality.

What is the Ford Ranger's resale value?

The table shows broad price softening across the lineup, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the older and mid-cycle years, while the newest model years are also moving down but by smaller percentages. That makes the current market more favorable for buyers than it would be if prices were flat or rising.

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