In the Mainstream tier, the Ranger is projected to keep about 70% of its value after three years — the point where many owners look to trade or settle. A bigger deposit and a small (or no) balloon keep you in positive equity sooner. Model your own deal in the equity calculator.

How is this future value estimated?
We apply a make-and-body depreciation curve to a representative new price. Real resale prices vary with condition, mileage, spec and the market — treat these as estimates, not a quote.
