Discover the Ford Ranger—a rugged midsize pickup that first rolled off Australian assembly lines in 1998. When you hear the phrase “Ford Ranger price,” you’re likely wondering about today's cost, the 2006 model’s market value, and how a used Ford Ranger price compares to newer trims. Let’s break down what a 2006 Ford Ranger costs now, how it depreciates, and why it remains a popular choice in the pickup segment.

What is a 2006 Ford Ranger worth? It’s a question that shines a spotlight on depreciation trends, condition variations, and market demand. In general, a 2006 model in good shape with moderate mileage might command a price that also reflects the ups and downs of the used‑car market. Of course, “what is a 2006 Ford Ranger worth” varies from one state to another, depending on local supply and demand, but we’ll give you the general framework so you can make an informed ask.

• Engine: 2.5‑litre 4-cylinder EcoBoost turbo‑charged, producing 250 hp and 350 lb‑ft torque—perfect for off‑road and towing.
• Transmission: 6‑speed automatic or 5‑speed manual (optional).
• Fuel type: Gasoline (regular premium) with 9.0 L/100 km consumption.
• Dimensions: Overall Length: 4,940 mm; Width: 1,765 mm; Height: 1,781 mm.
• Curb weight: 1,915 kg (standard), 1,760 kg (light‑weight variant).
• Drive layout: 4‑wheel drive (standard) with front wheel‑drive as an option.
• Tires: 255/65R16 on all models; 19‑inch alloy wheels for higher trims.

Now that we’re familiar with the hardware, let’s talk about the Ford Ranger depreciation curve. Purchasers should be prepared for a normal depreciation process; the price of a Ford Ranger typically drops in a predictable pattern:

• Year 0–1: 15–20% loss in value. The first year is where most depreciation happens, especially if the vehicle still has original paint and no service records.
• Year 1–3: 10–12% per year. Once past the first year, the wagon slows down; the steep drop becomes less severe.
• Year 3–5: 8–10% per year. At this point, the price stabilizes to a more gradual reduction.
• Year 6+: 4–6% per year. After six years, wear and tear become the primary cost considerations.

Here’s a quick depreciation conversion: a 2006 Ranger that began out on the road at $20,000 would not be worth more than about $12,000 after five years in a mild‑weather market with moderate mileage. Remember these numbers vary and are simply guidelines—a good VIN check can reveal whether the stranger’s past has been as pristine as the headline promises.

Comparison context. Compared to similar models—van’s trimmed 4 × 18‑spatling with a 4,800 mm body—Ranger’s are hugely similar in size and power. But year‑over‑year price comparisons show that a 2006 Ranger consistently outperforms closely ranked Toyota Hilux rims at comparable years.

Key point: Ford Ranger price varies between $15,000 and $25,000 for well‑maintained units on the Australian used‑car market in good condition. The differences hinge upon the condition, mileage and whether it’s a short‑wheelbase or full‑size trim. A used Ford Ranger price goes up or down based on the same factors that affect other pickup models—plus brand traits, the engine’s sporty turbo boost potential, and the high quality of the internal controls.

It’s also interesting to note that the
