2021 Ford Ranger XLT
Verdict #1191 · 108,156 miles · VIN 1FTER4EH7MLD07350 · Stock #N/A BUY
“2021 Ranger XLT 4×2 at $17,699 — thousands under 4×4 comps; the 2WD discount is working for you.”
Pros
- $17,699 is thousands under comparable 2021 Ranger XLTs (108k-mi 4×4 examples list at $21k-$23k)
- 2.3L EcoBoost + 10-speed: 270 hp, up to 7,500 lbs towing, ~22 MPG combined
- Midsize footprint — easy to park, cheap to feed, still a real truck bed
- One of the newest vehicles on this lot for the money
Cons
- 4×2, not 4×4 — fine for commuting and light work, not for winter off-roading or deep snow
- 108,156 miles on a 2021 means hard use — inspect for fleet/rental history
- No history report on the listing — run your own before signing
Analysis
The Ranger came back in 2019 and immediately became the midsize truck to beat: 270-hp 2.3L EcoBoost, 10-speed automatic, 7,500-lb tow rating, and real-world mileage in the low 20s. A 2021 XLT SuperCrew at this price is unusual — and the reason is the drivetrain.
This is a 4×2, and the market prices 2WD trucks like it: comparable 2021 XLT 4x4s with ~108k miles list at $21,000-$23,000, so $17,699 is a genuine 2WD discount — roughly $3,500-$5,000 under the 4×4 comp set. If you don’t need four-wheel drive (commuting, hauling, winter plowed roads), you’re buying the same truck for thousands less. The caveat: 108k miles on a 5-year-old truck suggests fleet or highway use — pull a history report, check for rental/fleet branding, and get the 10-speed’s service history. The dealer doesn’t publish one, so that $40 report is on you.
