Drove it for 3 years and 45k miles and got 41k in trade. They sold it for $46k. More than I paid in 2019. That was during the crazy times. I paid MSRP for my 2023 PRO. $56k. Even in normal times, a PRO wouldn't depreciate that much. $44k trade value is low for a PRO.

The only way you're going to know for sure what your trade might be worth in the real world is to play the game and get an estimate at a dealer when you're ready to purchase. The fact is though that times aren't good now to be a seller of a used automobile. The shortage of car/trucks, even desirable ones, is more or less over. Dealer markups and other bs are also very much curtailed, if not gone altogether.
You could also go to Carmax and they'll give you an offer that you can take or leave, good for seven days I believe. Those will give you the actual value in today's market from those that are buying at wholesale, e.g. taking a vehicle as a trade. KBB is a crapshoot at best.
