My 2017 F250 KR KBB average trade-in value is the same price I paid for it ... $64K with 20,800 miles (MSRP was $72K on the window sticker when new). I found double-counting some options was not an issue because I could turn off a couple things I don't have, such as the premium package (didn't want the sunroof) and the adaptive cruise control. I entered condition as "very good" even though it still looks like new.

Slightly off-topic, but still Ford...
My daughter will be moving out of the country on a job assignment if the Scamdemic ever ends. In the mean-time, she is working from home and hasn’t needed her car for months. It is a 2006 Focus. She decided she’d like to sell it, so I looked it up. The KBB value was $2400, private sale, less for wholesale. She thought that she might get about $1800 for it. The AC didn’t work and it had just over 100,000 miles on it.
We have a CarSense nearby, so I stopped by to see what they might offer. They looked it up and wrote up a 7-day offer for $2400. Wondering what the local Ford dealer might offer, I thought that I’d give them a chance. They came up with $1800. I showed him the offer for $2400 and, with just a little negotiation, he came up to $2500. Sold. I have a very happy daughter. Just wacky.

Very true. Sales people are counting on the customer looking at only one side of the sale. Trade-in has always worked this way. That's why the best advice is to negotiate only one part of the sale at a time; Negotiate the trade in value first and once you have that hammered out, negotiate the new vehicle sale price.

I traded in my 17 6.7L Platinum Ultimate with 75k miles on it in December for $55k. Got me a 21 Tremor at a great price. Just got back from picking up my plates and they had my old one priced at $60,888 on the used lot. Also used a PCO of 2.5k so a massive upgrade for not much.
