The Ford Ranger is one of the most common sights on local roads and with so many variants having been available in the previous and current generations, determining what your Ranger is worth can be a challenge. We have several ways in which you can determine what your Ranger is worth, so let's get into it!
How do I find out how much my used car is worth?
Here at AutoTrader, we have handy online resources such as our free valuation tool. This online tool is not only free of charge but is also obligation free.
Alternatively, you can contact your insurance to see what your vehicle is insured for, or by having the vehicle assessed by a dealership or third party that will include the external factors that affect your vehicle's value in their report.

What affects the value of your Ford Ranger?
The value of your Ford Ranger can be adversely affected by numerous external factors. The overall condition of the car is often the place that counts against it the most. Accident damage, dents, scratches and poor maintenance decrease the value of the vehicle. Used and worn-out components indicate a lack of proper ownership practices and suggest that the vehicle was possibly not maintained to the best standards. Badly worn tyresare another aspect of your vehicle that can negatively affect value!

Do Ford Rangers hold their value?
The current generation Ford Ranger was launched late in 2022, but let's look at a host of selected models and compare what they sold for new and what they are valued at now.
| Model | Price when new (2022) | Price now |
| Ford Ranger 2.0 SiT Base 4x2 6MT | R528 600 | From R449 950 |
| Ford Ranger 2.0 SiT XLT 4x2 6AT | R592 700 | From R529 900 |
| Ford Ranger 2.0 BiTurbo XLT 4x4 (Double cab) | R782 100 | From R639 900 |
| Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 Wildtrak 4WD 10AT (Double cab) | R953 500 | From R996 500 |
We can see that the Ford Ranger, in most instances, has lost some value since new, with the Wildtrak models being the only variants commanding a premium if we do not count the recently launched Raptor model.
How to increase the value of your Ford Ranger
You can increase the value of your Ford Ranger by making sure that it's in the best condition possible for sale. This includes addressing the faults such as scratches, dents and worn-out components. A full valet or detail will help make return the vehicle to a like-new condition and make it as attractive to the new buyer as possible.
Gather all the necessary documentation together, including any receipts that you may have that show what money has been spent on the car. Having the vehicle serviced isn't necessary if you've remained up to date with the service schedule and don't forget to include the service history.
