The Least Expensive New Diesel Trucks You Can Buy In 2025

New diesel trucks are so dang expensive, right? Massaging seats. Hands-free driving technology. Premium leather that’s still mooing. Real wood that’s still dripping sap. Yes—top-trim diesel trucks are expensive. But that’s not the whole story. If one end of the spectrum consists of the most expensive diesel units, the other end contains the cheapest diesel trucks you can buy. These bare-bones, utilitarian, get-it-done, base-trim diesel trucks make steelies, plastic, and vinyl look fit for royalty. Deep down inside, everyone has a soft spot for the base truck. It’s affordable, enjoyable, and totally rad—and usually a regular (single) cab truck, which has made a comeback lately. Best of all, its pedestrian demeanor makes it a great sleeper truck should you decide to tinker with the internals.

Below, we have compiled a list of the least expensive diesel trucks you can buy in 2025. It’s an oxymoron to use “diesel” and “least expensive” in the same sentence, but this is Diesel Army, so we drive diesels regardless of the premium. All of today’s new base-trim heavy-duty trucks can be optioned with diesels, which makes us happy. The next time someone complains about heavy-duty diesel truck prices, remind him or her that you can get a new one for under $60,000. Today’s affordable base trucks are more equipped than ever before—that’s not really the issue. The biggest problem is actually getting ahold of one.

Which truck would you choose?
