How much did a 1999 Ford Ranger cost new?
A 1999 Ford Ranger typically started in the low-teens of thousands of dollars when new. Base XL models were commonly priced around $11,000–$12,000, while higher trims and configurations pushed into the mid-teens or higher.
Prices varied by engine choice (2.3-liter four-cylinder or 3.0-liter V6), cab style (Regular Cab vs. SuperCab), drivetrain (2WD vs. 4x4), bed length, and added options. Ford offered several configurations, so the sticker price depended on the exact setup a buyer selected.

Additional context
For buyers today, those early Ranger prices provide a baseline for how much a new-then truck would have cost and how much value a well-preserved 1999 Ranger might offer now, depending on condition and mileage. The market for classic pickups is also influenced by collector interest and restoration status, which can affect current pricing beyond simple inflation-adjusted figures.

The 1999 Ford Ranger's new-price varied by trim and configuration. Base XL models started in the low-to-mid-teens of thousands, while XLT and 4x4 variants moved into the mid-teens or higher, depending on engine, cab style, and options.
