Valuation pitfalls

  • Trim coding errors between XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum — each adds $3,000–$8,000 in MSRP
  • EcoBoost vs naturally-aspirated V6 vs 5.0L V8 — software sometimes treats them as interchangeable
  • SuperCab vs SuperCrew cab style — adjusters frequently miscode this
  • Bed length (5.5' vs 6.5' vs 8') affects ACV by $800–$1,500 and is often defaulted
