Anyone shopping for a truck lately knows they aren’t cheap. Whether you are looking for a used vehicle or a new one, the choices are limited if you’re on a budget. The good news is there are still affordable full-size pickup trucks on the market, even if they don’t offer all the bells and whistles you might find in a luxury car.

Here are the most affordable full-size pickup trucks available to truck buyers in 2023.
