I got $30,000 on my 2019 XLT trade-in with less than 19,000 miles on it. To be fair I left about $2,000 in various doo-dads on it, but the dealership gave me that same face value back on them. So 0% loss on after-market parts (kind of odd really). So I guess really the trade in was about $28,000.
Very nice!Well guys I bid you farewell. My son is away on business and left his 2022 hybrid maverick with me and I fell in love with it. So much so that I couldn’t pass up the gas mileage and ride quality. So after an exhausting search and a 250 mile round trip I’m now the proud owner of a new 2023 XLT Maverick Hybrid as well. Got it at msrp (a small miracle) and they gave me 27k for my 2021 2wd ranger xlt.
You guys have been a big help while I was a Ranger owner but all good things come to an end. Have fun boys and girls.
Have to agree with OFC Ranger.I traded in my Ranger today too, a well-equipped model that looked good IMHO... but what a saga. After six weeks for sale with zero inquiries, I had to consider a trade-in. Worked with several dealers, but most would only offer low 20's or flat-out declined to take it. Found one willing to take it as equipped with racks and awning (the buyer was into camping etc) but six hours away. I departed immediately and left with a Tacoma, my fifth. Farewell to transmission roulette, non-functioning climate control, an engine that sounds like a lawn mower, and a comm system that refused to recognize my iPhone daily. I know all cars are a depreciating asset, but the bottom really fell out on this one.
Sounds like you put a lot of money into something you didn't really like. Good luck with your new money pit.I traded in my Ranger today too, a well-equipped model that looked good IMHO... but what a saga.

Maverick is an ECVT, completely different, the design is very simple and reliable.
Trucks are holding value. My 2019 Ranger XLT 4X4 brought $24K at an off-brand dealership on Friday.
I can relate to the transmission issue. Mine was clunking and jerking pretty badly at lower speeds. That's the main reason I traded mine in on Friday. Wanted to get rid of it before then powertrain warranty ran out in February.
Check out Weber Automotive Institute, they have a Youtube channel, its a school and they did a teardown of both the Toyota and Ford ECVT drive trains. I didn't realize that Ford has been doing this since 2005 ish! Toyota and Ford's ECVT''s are extremely similar because they used basically the same unit that came from Isin, not sure if that is spelled right. Because you are using an electric motor to start the car from a stop you don't need a regular tranny because of the torque the electric motor has. I'm getting too wordy here. Check out their videos on this, its very interesting.
So true, I have a Ranger and my wife does in fact drive a, yup you guessed it a Taco!I test drove several Taco's before I bought the Ranger. I thought the Taco's where crap no power at all. I would hate having to tow with one. Maybe the new ones if they put a turbo charged engine in them they would be ok. Like I said If I did not need a truck I would have bought another Rav4 Hybrid.
I remember looking at alot of utube vids of the different smaller trucks and recall a comment of a lady saying she loved her Taco. LOL I could not stop laughing. You can't make this stuff up.
