This price range reflects the Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value for all trim levels, but not necessarily all available options.
The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value represents the amount an auto dealer might ask for a specific vehicle; the actual sale price will vary. A vehicle's popularity, condition, warranty, color and local market conditions are factors involved in determining a final price. The retail value is not a trade-in or private party value.
The Suggested Retail value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history. The Suggested Retail value also allows for advertising, sales commissions, insurance and other costs of doing business as a dealer. Most vehicles offered at this price have passed an inspection, and some may carry a warranty. Vehicle mileage is assumed to be normal or below normal.
Why have pickups sold so well? Because they've become so much fun to drive. The super or extended cab concept also makes trucks far more practical by adding a seating area in back for a couple of kids or a storage area for groceries that you don't want
exposed in the truck bed.
But when popularity goes up, so does the price. The STX package adds $3,351 to the Ranger and includes a color-keyed cargo cover, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, power windows/locks/mirrors, premium AM/FM stereo
with cassette and clock, speed control, tilt steering, cast aluminum wheels, rear jump seats and fog lamps. Add $179 for an engine upgrade to the 4-liter, 160-h.p., V-6 (rated at 16 m.p.g. city/22 highway), a mind-boggling $1,045 for 4-speed
automatic with overdrive, $110 for upgraded all-terrain tires, $252 for a limited slip rear axle, $49 for pivoting side quarter windows, $113 for a rear slide open window, $209 for a power driver's seat and $444 for a compact disc changer. With $470
in freight, the $18,428 base price tops $24,600. Good looks, good performance, good four-wheel-drive security, but good heavens what a price tag!
