Whats my truck worth?

I am seriously thinking of selling my truck and was wondering what its worth it todays market. Its a 2002 Ranger XLT 4-Door, 5spd, 4.0, 4x4, offroad package with around 74,000 miles. There are a few reasons why I am contemplating selling it but the main reasons are it does not get great gas mileage and I really don't really use it like a truck to much(if that makes sense). Heres a few repairs/maintenance I have done on the truck

-belt and idler pulley replaced at 65k
-new OEM Ford Slave Cylinder around 67k
-installed a new clutch set and resurfaced the flywheel at the same time of the slave
-New Tranny Fluid at the time of the clutch job
-MAC Cold Air Intake System around 70k
-New fuel Filter around 2k ago
-Billet Grill and Clear Corners
-It will be getting new front pads and rotors as soon as I have time to do them


This truck has been pretty good to me. The only real issue I had with it was the slave cylinder going on me but ever since then its been awesome. It had BF Goodrich Mud Terrains on there when I bought the truck. They are still on there and have plenty of life left, I just had them rotated and aligned within the past 7k. The previous owner of the truck did construction for a living so there are some scratches on the side of the bed. I wanna sell it and get a 4 cylinder car. I would also like to add that I can get the buyer explorer seats and console for free and all they would have to do is trade the stock ranger setup for them. I work in the same building as a junkyard and talked to a guy that works there. I was hoping for around $8,000 for this truck, any ideas?
thanks Dan

Why a 4 cylinder car? For gas mileage?

Before you sell, do ALL the math. Figure out how much you spend on gas monthly with the truck, then figure out how much the new car is going to cost. Figure out how much gas you'll be buying with that, and compare the prices. Then add in insurance.

If you are going with a used older car, then you might come out ahead. If you are going with a newer gas sipper, you might either barely break even, or be spending more.

As far as how much it's worth, I'll give you $20.

I actually really like the SVT Focus and thats what I really want. I can probably find one for 9-10grand in awesome shape. I don't really trust Kbb.com they aren't always what you can get in the real world.
