questions (FAQ)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\nOver the past few weeks, it\u2019s been hard to miss: every time I browse the web, pickup ads seem to be everywhere. Deep discounts, reduced financing rates, more attractive lease programs \u2014 everything points to this being an excellent time to buy a truck. But when you look closer, one detail shows up in almost every promotion: they mainly target non-current models \u2014 in other words, pickups from the previous model year, often 2025 units.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, 2026 models have started arriving at dealerships \u2014 or are about to \u2014 triggering a well-known cycle in the automotive industry. To free up lot space and keep inventory moving at a healthy pace, manufacturers and dealers ramp up efforts to clear remaining units. The result? More aggressive financial incentives and a very real temptation for buyers.\r\n\r\nAfter all, why pay more for a current-year pickup if a nearly identical truck is available for several thousand dollars less?\r\n\r\nYet behind these often-compelling offers lies a more nuanced reality. Choosing between a non-current model and a current-year truck should never be based solely on the sticker price. Your expected ownership period, whether you plan to finance, pay cash, or lease, the projected resale value, and even your driver profile can turn what looks like a great deal into either a smart strategic move\u2026 or a costly miscalculation.\r\n\r\nThe goal of this article is to demystify a situation many buyers are facing right now. When does it truly make sense to choose a non-current model? And conversely, when is it wiser to invest in the current model year?\r\n\r\nBecause in the end, buying smart isn\u2019t just about chasing a discount \u2014 it\u2019s about selecting a vehicle that aligns with your reality, your needs, and your ownership horizon.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s a clear guide to help you make a confident decision before signing on the dotted line.\r\n\r\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58371\" src=\"https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM.webp\" alt=\"Non-current model or current model year\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM.webp 1600w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RAM-1320x880.webp 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_What_a_Non-Current_Model_Really_Is\"><\/span>Understanding What a Non-Current Model Really Is<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nA non-current model is not an outdated vehicle. In most cases, it\u2019s simply a truck whose model year has changed while the vast majority of features and specifications remain the same.\r\n\r\nIn the automotive world, product cycles often last six to eight years, with major updates typically arriving midway through that cycle. When no significant redesign is introduced, the differences between two model years may be limited to:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>a new colour option<\/li>\r\n \t<li>an available package<\/li>\r\n \t<li>a software update<\/li>\r\n \t<li>minor equipment adjustments<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIn other words \u2014 the pickup is essentially unchanged.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s precisely what allows manufacturers to offer substantial discounts: they need to clear inventory.\r\n\r\nAccording to multiple North American market analyses, incentives on outgoing models can reach several thousand dollars, particularly in competitive segments like full-size pickups.\r\n\r\nHowever, a lower price does not automatically mean a better decision \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what this article aims to highlight.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58365\" src=\"https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado.webp\" alt=\"Non-current model or current model year\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado.webp 1600w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado-1536x768.webp 1536w, https:\/\/yourpickup.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Corolado-1320x660.webp 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purchase_Price_and_Incentives_A_Clear_Edge_for_Non-Current_Models%E2%80%A6_But_Not_Always\"><\/span>Purchase Price and Incentives: A Clear Edge for Non-Current Models\u2026 But Not Always<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9C%94_Advantages_%E2%80%94_Non-current_model_2025_at_the_time_of_writing\"><\/span>\u2714 Advantages \u2014 Non-current model <em>(2025 at the time of writing)<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe main appeal is financial.\r\n\r\nManufacturers rely on several levers:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>direct rebates<\/li>\r\n \t<li>subsidized financing rates<\/li>\r\n \t<li>loyalty programs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>trade-in bonuses<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe result? Monthly payments can sometimes drop significantly.\r\n\r\nAnother often-overlooked advantage: part of the initial depreciation has already been absorbed through the discount.

Yet for many owners, the real financial win is frequently found among non-current models.\r\n\r\nFor many people, a pickup is first and foremost a tool \u2014 and sometimes even a work partner. What matters isn\u2019t just the model year, but how well it fits into your daily reality.\r\n\r\nBuying smart doesn\u2019t mean following the manufacturers\u2019 calendar.\r\n\r\nIt means aligning your vehicle with your needs, your ownership timeline, and your financial strategy.\r\n\r\nAnd sometimes, that means seriously considering a brand-new truck\u2026 that the industry already considers last year\u2019s model.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foire_aux_questions_FAQ\"><\/span>Foire aux questions (FAQ)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-ttb7huuy\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I buy a 2025 or 2026 pickup truck in Canada?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on what changed between model years. If the 2026 brings a new generation or major powertrain updates, it may be worth the premium. If it&rsquo;s a minor update year, buying a 2025 at a discount (typically 5\u201312% off MSRP) can be a smarter financial move.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-8otaze9v\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How much can I save buying a non-current 2025 pickup?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Non-current model year trucks often come with manufacturer cash incentives of $2,000\u2013$8,000 CAD, plus dealers may offer additional discounts to clear inventory. Total savings can reach $5,000\u2013$15,000 on a $60,000\u2013$80,000 truck.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-85o8wpmj\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does buying a 2025 truck in 2026 affect the warranty?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Truck warranties start from the date of purchase, not the model year. A 2025 pickup bought brand new in 2026 receives the full factory warranty (typically 3 years\/60,000 km bumper-to-bumper; 5 years\/100,000 km powertrain).<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-q5hzd5b1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will a 2025 truck hold its value as well as a 2026?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Generally, a 2026 model will hold its value slightly better during the first 1\u20133 years since it&rsquo;s one model year closer to &lsquo;current.&rsquo; However, the initial purchase price discount on a 2025 model often outweighs the small resale value difference over a 3\u20135 year ownership period.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-xin3lcti\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I look for when shopping non-current trucks at Canadian dealerships?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Check the build date (not just model year), inspect for any dealer lot damage, confirm all factory incentives still apply, and verify that the warranty start date is your purchase date. Research if significant changes were made in the new model year that would affect your decision.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few weeks, it\u2019s been hard to miss: every time I browse the web, pickup ads seem to be everywhere.
