How Much Is the King Ranch Worth? 7 Verified Prices for 2026
A new 2026 Ford F-150 King Ranch starts at $65,825, and a used one is worth $3,500 to $44,200 depending on model year and condition. The 4×4 version of the new truck starts at $69,625, and a well equipped PowerBoost model can pass $81,000 before tax. This guide covers the Ford King Ranch truck trim, not the King Ranch cattle ranch in Texas. If you are buying new, buying used, or pricing a truck you already own, the tables below give you the exact figures to work with.
New 2026 King Ranch Prices by Model
King Ranch is a trim level, not a separate model. Ford offers it on the F-150, the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, and the Expedition.
The 2026 F-150 King Ranch starts at $65,825 for a SuperCrew 4×2 and $69,625 for a SuperCrew 4×4. That is about $9,080 less than the 2025 starting price of $74,905, because Ford made 2WD standard and 4×4 now costs $3,800 extra. The base group is leaner: multicontour Active Motion seats are now a $2,065 option. Pickup Truck Talk reports the full 2026 pricing breakdown from Ford build and price data, and dealer pages from Bommarito Ford, Lakeland Ford, and Group 1 Ford of Pensacola agree. None of these prices include the $2,595 destination charge, tax, or fees.
Do not stop at the starting price. A real King Ranch on a dealer lot carries options, and they add up fast. A 2026 King Ranch PowerBoost 4×4 reviewed by CarPro reached $81,115 after $8,895 in options and the $2,595 destination charge. The options included the twin panel moonroof at $1,495, the PowerBoost hybrid at $1,340, Star White paint at $995, and the 7.2 kilowatt Pro Power Onboard system at $850. Read the window sticker on the exact truck, because two trucks with the same badge can sit $10,000 apart.
| Model | Starting MSRP | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 F-150 King Ranch 4×2 | $65,825 | SuperCrew, 5.5 or 6.5 ft bed, 3.5L EcoBoost |
| 2026 F-150 King Ranch 4×4 | $69,625 | $3,800 for 4×4; PowerBoost available |
| 2026 F-250 Super Duty King Ranch | $72,870 to $102,645 | Observed window stickers; diesel and options add cost |
| 2026 Expedition MAX King Ranch 4×4 | $87,060 | As tested $99,350 with options |
The Super Duty King Ranch has no single published starting price, so we report the observed range instead. Dealer window stickers for 2026 F-250 King Ranch trucks show MSRPs from $72,870 for a gas Crew Cab to $102,645 for a loaded High Output diesel. Dealer listings show the same spread: one truck stickers at $94,860 with a dealer price of $85,424. ccarprice lists $77,770 as the starting figure, but treat that as an estimate. The 2022 F-250 King Ranch interior guide shows the Super Duty interior, with the same Java leather and wood trim as the F-150.
The Expedition King Ranch starts higher than the F-150. TX Garage tested a 2026 Expedition MAX King Ranch 4×4 that starts at $87,060 and reached $99,350 with $9,695 in options including destination. The EPA rates it at 15 mpg city, 22 highway, and 18 combined.
The 2026 F-150 King Ranch runs the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 as standard equipment, rated at 400 hp and 500 lb-ft, with the 430 hp PowerBoost hybrid as the upgrade. The 3.5L EcoBoost 4×4 tows up to 13,500 lbs when properly equipped, so check the Ford F-150 towing capacity chart for your trailer.
What a Used King Ranch Is Worth by Year
The table below uses Kelley Blue Book figures observed on November 12, 2026, for F-150 King Ranch SuperCrew models. Resale value is the typical private party figure, and trade in value is the dealer offer.
| Model Year | Fair Purchase Price | Resale Value | Trade In Value | 3 Year Drop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 SuperCrew 5.5 ft | $46,470 | $44,200 | $38,000 | 28% |
| 2023 SuperCrew 6.5 ft | $41,100 | $39,100 | $35,200 | 36% |
| 2022 SuperCrew 6.5 ft | $38,090 | $36,100 | $32,900 | 33% |
| 2020 SuperCrew 5.5 ft | $33,240 | $31,100 | $27,400 | 25% |
| 2018 SuperCrew 5.5 ft | $28,500 | $26,600 | $21,800 | 18% |
| 2018 SuperCrew 6.5 ft | $23,920 | $22,200 | $18,900 | 27% |
| 2017 SuperCrew 6.5 ft | $23,430 | $21,500 | $18,450 | 26% |
| 2015 SuperCrew 5.5 ft | $21,760 | $19,700 | $14,850 | 19% |
| 2013 SuperCrew 6.5 ft | $14,280 | $12,600 | $9,600 | 14% |
| 2002 Super Cab short bed | $4,100 | $3,500 | $2,500 | 34% |
The 3 Year Drop column is KBB’s depreciation over the last three years, not the drop since the truck was new.
A three year old King Ranch keeps roughly two thirds of its value, while a ten year old truck settles near $12,000 to $20,000 and an early 2000s truck is worth $3,500 or less. The 2015 and 2018 trucks are the value picks under $30,000.
Condition moves the number more than most sellers expect. For a 2023 SuperCrew 5.5 ft, Kelley Blue Book lists trade in value from $35,610 in Fair condition to $39,510 in Excellent condition, and private party value from $41,470 to $45,870 across the same range. That is a $3,900 trade in gap and a $4,400 private party gap, decided by paint, leather, tires, and service records. A truck with worn Java leather prices like a Fair truck even if the engine runs perfectly.
Edmunds runs a little higher. Edmunds values a 2023 King Ranch SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft with the 5.0L V8, priced for ZIP code 78701 in Austin, Texas, at $44,837 for trade in, $48,103 private party, and $51,502 dealer retail in Outstanding condition, and $42,418, $45,507, and $48,723 in Average condition. The gap comes from configuration and value type: Edmunds prices a 4WD V8 truck at dealer retail, while KBB resale is a typical private party number. Edmunds values are ZIP code dependent, so reprice with your own ZIP code before you buy or sell. Use both sources as a range. If a seller asks above the Edmunds dealer retail figure for a private sale, the truck is overpriced.
Used King Ranch Resale Value by Year
Kelley Blue Book resale values, F-150 King Ranch SuperCrew, observed November 12, 2026.
A three year old truck keeps about two thirds of its value. The steepest drop happens in the first three years, then the curve flattens.
Values are typical private party resale figures for SuperCrew 5.5 ft models unless noted. KBB values are ZIP code dependent and move weekly.
King Ranch vs Lariat vs Platinum in 2026
The King Ranch sits in the middle of a short luxury ladder: the Lariat starts at $59,560, the King Ranch at $65,825, and the Platinum at $68,800. The gap from Lariat to King Ranch is $6,265, and the gap from King Ranch to Platinum is only $2,975.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Engines | What Sets It Apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lariat | $59,560 | 2.7L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, 3.5L EcoBoost, PowerBoost | Leather, 12 inch screen, most cab and bed options |
| King Ranch | $65,825 | 3.5L EcoBoost, PowerBoost | Java leather, wood trim, two tone paint, western badging |
| Platinum | $68,800 | 3.5L EcoBoost, PowerBoost | Blacked out styling, massaging seats as an option, premium audio |
The King Ranch and the Platinum share the same engines, the same SuperCrew only body, and nearly the same price. The King Ranch leans western, with Java leather, wood trim, and two tone paint. The Platinum leans modern, with blacked out trim and multicontour Active Motion seats available as a $2,065 option. For the 2024 model year the two trims even carried the same $73,485 MSRP. Neither one tows more or hauls more than the other.
The Lariat is the smarter comparison, because the $6,265 gap buys real trade offs. The Lariat keeps the 5.0L V8 option, the 8 ft bed, and the SuperCab body, and it costs less. The King Ranch takes those choices away and adds the Java leather interior, two tone paint, and western trim as standard. The twin panel moonroof, head up display, 14 speaker Bang and Olufsen Unleashed audio, and multicontour Active Motion seats are options, not standard equipment: the $2,065 601A High equipment group adds the Active Motion seats and the 14 speaker B&O Unleashed system, while the twin panel moonroof and the head up display are separate options, the moonroof priced at $1,495 on the CarPro test truck above. The base King Ranch 600A group carries the 8 speaker B&O sound system as standard. Bommarito Ford puts it plainly: the step up is worth it only if the interior and styling are why you are buying, because the money buys appointments, not capability. The top PowerBoost output of 430 hp is identical across all three trims.
Our verdict is simple. Buy the King Ranch if you use the truck every day and want the western interior enough to pay $6,265 over a Lariat and give up the V8 and the 8 ft bed. Buy the Lariat if you tow heavy, need the long bed, or want the V8 sound, because you get most of the luxury for less. Buy the Platinum only if the blacked out look matters more than the badge, adding the massaging seats through the $2,065 Active Motion option if you want them, since the gap is under $3,000. If you only drive the truck on weekends, a used 2023 King Ranch at $44,200 gives you the same cabin for about $20,000 less than new.
4 Factors That Move a King Ranch Value
Two King Ranch trucks with the same badge and year can sit $5,000 apart. These four factors decide where yours lands.
Model Year and Mileage
Year sets the band and mileage sets the position inside it. A 2023 truck with 30,000 miles prices near the top of its band, while the same year with 90,000 miles prices near the bottom. KBB and Edmunds assume about 12,000 miles per year, so a truck that beats that average earns a premium and one that doubles it loses value fast.
Engine and Drivetrain
The 3.5L EcoBoost is standard, and the PowerBoost hybrid adds value for buyers who want the generator and the fuel economy. Four wheel drive adds about $3,800 to a new truck and holds a similar premium used, especially in snow states. The 3.5L EcoBoost cam phaser guide explains the one repair that worries buyers of older EcoBoost trucks, so a clean service history for that job protects your resale price.
Condition and Service History
Condition is the biggest lever a seller controls. Java leather that is cleaned and conditioned, wheels without curb rash, and a full dealer service history can move a truck up a whole condition grade. Keep every receipt, because a buyer who sees the records trusts the truck.
Options and Packages
Options hold value only when buyers want them. The twin panel moonroof, the Pro Power Onboard generator, the tow package, and the Active Motion seats help a used King Ranch stand out. Paint color matters too: the classic two tone bronze and white combination sells faster than an unusual color. Dealer installed accessories add a little, but they never return their full cost.
How to Price Your King Ranch in 5 Steps
- Identify the exact truck. Write down the year, cab, bed length, engine, drivetrain, and mileage. A 2023 SuperCrew 5.5 ft and a 6.5 ft price differently, so do not guess.
- Check KBB and Edmunds with your ZIP code. Run both tools with your real mileage and an honest condition grade, and note trade in, private party, and dealer retail from each.
- Grade the condition honestly. Walk the truck in daylight and grade the leather, paint, wheels, tires, and glass. Most owners grade one step too high, so compare against the guide photos before you pick a grade.
- Check real listings in your area. Search dealer and private listings within 100 miles for the same year and configuration. If three similar trucks sit at $42,000, your $48,000 price will not move.
- Set your price from the range, not from one number. Price a private sale near the KBB private party figure and expect a trade in offer near the KBB trade in figure.
If you are buying instead of selling, the same five steps protect you, and the certified pre owned F-150 buying guide explains when a Ford certified truck is worth the premium.
4 Mistakes That Cost King Ranch Sellers Money
- Pricing from the new MSRP instead of the used market. A 2023 truck that stickered near $75,000 is worth about $44,200 today, and a price anchored to the old sticker just wastes weeks.
- Grading the condition one step too high. Worn driver seat leather, a cracked windshield, and bald tires drop a truck a full grade, so fix the cheap items first.
- Trading in without a private party quote. The trade in figure on a 2023 truck runs about $6,200 below the private party figure, so get a real offer first, even if you trade in for the tax saving.
- Hiding the options list. A buyer cannot pay for the moonroof, the generator, or the tow package if your listing never mentions them, so photograph the window sticker and list every option.
5 Questions About King Ranch Value
How Much Is a 2026 King Ranch?
A 2026 F-150 King Ranch starts at $65,825 for 4×2 and $69,625 for 4×4, before the $2,595 destination charge. A well equipped PowerBoost 4×4 can reach $81,115.
Do King Ranch Trucks Hold Value?
A King Ranch holds value about as well as other luxury F-150 trims. KBB shows a 2023 SuperCrew 5.5 ft truck keeping about 72 percent of its value after three years, and the badge helps it sell faster than a plain XLT. Our guide to whether Ford Explorers hold their value shows the same pattern on the SUV side.
Is King Ranch Worth More Than Platinum?
New, the Platinum costs $2,975 more than the King Ranch. Used, the two trims trade within a few hundred dollars of each other, because buyers pay for condition and mileage first and the badge second.
What Is the Cheapest King Ranch Year?
The cheapest King Ranch trucks are the early 2000s models, worth about $3,500 in typical condition. Among trucks with modern tech and the current body style, a 2015 model near $19,700 is the lowest entry point.
Trade In or Sell Private Party?
Sell private party if you want the most money, because the gap runs about $6,200 on a 2023 truck. Trade in if you want speed and the sales tax saving, which can close part of that gap.
Your Next Step Before You Buy or Sell
A King Ranch is worth $65,825 new in 2026, $44,200 as a three year old truck, and $3,500 as an early 2000s classic, and the trim you pick matters less than the condition you buy. Run your exact truck through KBB and Edmunds with your ZIP code and compare it against three real listings nearby. If you are selling, clean the Java leather, photograph the window sticker, and price from the private party figure. Do the homework first, and you will get a fair deal on either side of the sale.
