New Car Deals for April 2010: Pickup Trucks

It’s difficult to find a pickup truck that doesn’t carry a sales incentive of some kind for April. Though sales are beginning an upward tick, this segment has been in a five-year sales swoon and it’ll require a robust economy and a healthy housing/construction market in particular to bring pickups back to pre-2005 popularity. Thus two of America’s top-three-selling vehicles, the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, carry big cash-back offers. Some incentives on our list are now at all-time highs. And one economic axiom suggests that the construction market tends to trail the overall economy by about a year, so truck buyers should expect to find great deals for some time to come.
