Most of the loss lands early: the Ranger Z521L DC sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $92,220 it falls to around $76,634 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,586, about $8.54 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Ranger Z521L DC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
