. “Manufacturers release vehicles around October for the new year model. Those have the least rebates to lower the cost.”

Pyle also recommended purchasing a truck that matches your needs. “If you plan to use the truck for

Want something rugged yet still comfortable?

, an independent automotive service center. “Ford is also known for making cars that are high-quality and durable, making this truck perfect for retirees on a budget who don’t want to be saddled with costly repairs.”

According to Gelfand, the truck also has a user-friendly cabin and advanced driver-assist features that help make driving much safer for retirees.

Plus, retirees could find a good deal on an F-150. “Buying this truck before the holidays means you can take advantage of year-end sales that can net you significant discounts,” he said.

A new 2024 F-150 starts at $39,060.

Ford F-150 Lightning

Pyle recommended the Ford F-150 Lighting if you want something lighter.

“The F-150 Lightning electric model is also doing well. The interior is basically the same as the gas model,” Pyle said. “Basically all trucks are going to struggle with hauling and towing in the distance area. If you are needing a light-duty truck for local driving, this electric model will be a good one.”

A new 2024 F-150 Lightning starts at $57,090.

Ford Maverick

The Ford Maverick is compact and Ford’s smallest truck. It’s an affordable option for retirees who don’t need to do much heavy hauling.

“The Ford Maverick does dip into that area of ‘I like a truck and need to haul trash but not haul and tow a lot,’” Pyle said. “They are small, cheap and are doing very well in the reliability reports.”

A new 2024 Maverick starts at $25,515.

Toyota Tacoma

Gelfand also recommended the Toyota Tacoma for retirees. “Retirees who want a reliable truck choose Tacomas,” he explained. “These trucks are known to not break down often.”

It also has a comfortable interior, and Gelfand pointed out that it works well for retirees who want to run daily errands, drive family around or even go on long road trips.

“Most Toyota dealerships offer holiday promotions, and purchasing ahead of the holiday would mean that you won’t have to face issues with availability,” he explained.

A new 2024 Tacoma starts at $32,995.
