Ford Ranger keeps 61% of its recent market value after 5 years — #195 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Ford Ranger retains 61% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #195 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Truck in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Ford Ranger sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $41,145 it falls to around $25,139 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,006, about $8.77 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Ford Ranger bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
