The typical 2008 Ford Ranger in Canada sits at $8,150. That's your anchor. Most of what's out there lands between $5,500 and $14,290, so anything near the bottom of that band is worth a hard look, and anything pushing past $14,000 needs a real reason to justify the ask.
The median truck has 202,000 km on it. At that reading, you're buying a well-used work truck, and the median price already reflects that. A Ranger asking $12,000 or more should either be showing far fewer kilometres or carrying something extra to earn the premium over $8,150.
What to actually pay
The spread here is wide, roughly $8,800 from floor to ceiling. That width tells you condition and history are driving price more than any single factor. Two trucks at 202,000 km can sit thousands apart depending on how they were treated. Use the $8,150 median as your gut check and let the specific truck's shape argue it up or down.
