Can't imagine this would happen too often but I also agree with Franco.

If I had up to $60k to spend I would at least look at new gen ranger, even if it's a lesser model.

Base model means a lot less these days than what it used to. Once upon a time you had to get the upper models to get all the features but not any more. Base model has pretty much everything you need and most things you want.

I would definitely at least give it a look.

When we bought our Escape (base model) we also looked at the previous model (used) in top level spec, and still bought the new one. It missed out on nothing the old car had.

New gen Ranger deserves a look at least.
