3 Trucks To Avoid Buying in 2025

You can’t beat a truck when it comes to functionality and versatility. From day-to-day use to towing a boat or camper to tailgating before the big game, trucks can do it all. Plus, they always come in handy when moving. But not all trucks are created equally.

The average car costs around $900 a year to maintain, per Consumer Affairs, but some could put a ******* dent in your

, but it doesn’t offer impressive towing or off-roading capabilities. It also falls short with its 21 mpg fuel economy and overall value for the sticker price.

The Honda Ridgeline is ideal for consumers who don’t need to haul and are happy with a truck that drives more like an SUV, but it’s not for everyone.

“Despite its solid performance, the Honda Ridgeline is on the verge of being discontinued due to declining sales, especially with the rise of competitors like the Ford Maverick,” Rob Dillan, automotive expert and founder of

In addition, the Nissan Frontier faces stiff competition from the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz, which could be better options depending on consumers’ needs.

“The Nissan Frontier relies on older battery technology and offers limited range compared to newer competitors,” Dillan said. “Its aging design and technology may not appeal to consumers looking for modern features.”

, but things are off to a shaky start. There have been reports of serious safety issues, resulting in a recall.

“Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, is recalling approximately 33,777 Ram 1500 pickup trucks in the U.S. due to concerns with damaged front wheel bearing encoder rings that may affect and disable the electronic stability control system,” Dillan said.

Maintenance and repairs will cost $18,469 during the first 10 years of service, per

, which is $8,364 more than the industry average. However, Dillan warned that buying a new model could cost even more. “The issue could pose safety risks and lead to potential repair costs,” he said.

While the 2025 Honda Ridgeline, Nissan Frontier and Ram 1500 have positive aspects, experts and reviews cautioned that they could cause years of financial woes and regret.
