IntelliChoice recently announced its best deals for trucks and SUVs for the month of November, which concluded without a shadow of a doubt that the auto market remains a buyer's market. Continuing where October left off, manufacturers have continued to pile on the rebates and incentives, which have helped vehicles such as the Kia Sorento and Subaru Tribeca establish themselves as better values over more common brands such as Toyota and Hummer.
The best deals of the month are determined by best ownership cost values for each respective vehicle class. Including passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs, there are 33 different classes. The selections are based on current vehicle prices, market conditions, and the lowest national manufacturer consumer new-car rebate. IntelliChoice uses ownership data such as what it costs to buy, own, and operate each new car model-year trim line over a span of five years to determine the best values.
The list of truck and SUV winners can be found below.
