The 2024 ZDX A-Spec with rear-wheel drive (RWD) is our recommended trim for its value and features, but the 500-horsepower Type S is considerably more fun if you can swing it.

A member of the perennially best-selling F-series trucks, the 2025 Ford F-150 is a byword for pickup truck performance and capability. The whole F-150 lineup qualifies for this deal, but the SuperCrew STX 4×2 offers a lot of value, with LED fog lights, 20-inch wheels, special graphics, and a fully carpeted interior, as well as a 2.7-liter V6 and rear-wheel drive.

A pickup that does everything differently but still does it very well, the 2025 Honda Ridgeline is great for those who need the utility of a pickup but want the comfort and ease of use of a car or crossover. This finance deal covers all trims, but we’ve found the RTL to be the sweet spot of the Ridgeline range.

With ground clearance that rivals most SUVs and outclasses many, the 2025 Subaru Outback might technically be a wagon, but it’s a do-it-all wagon that’s also a real value. The base model in this month’s deal comes nicely equipped with standard AWD, LED headlights and fog lights, automatic high beams, and a durable cloth interior, and it only gets better equipped from there.
