Best New Car Lease Deals for April 2024: Body-on-Frame Trucks and SUVs
April's solar eclipse had a totality that lasted as long as four minutes and 28 seconds. Nearly everyone in the U.S. could see it, unless you had clouds in the sky or were locked into a conference call. The next chance to witness this astronomical syzygy across the U.S. will be 2044, or 2033 if you’re willing to travel to Alaska.
Sometimes the stars align to put you in a new truck, especially when that truck has a great engine that's being retired or is a model that until recently never gave out discounts. At this very moment in the universe, they're more within reach than ever before.

Make sure you first read our leasing guide. We've covered everything that may get glossed over in the showroom: advertising fees, money factors, residuals, legal implications, and all the other fine print that could cost you thousands more than you'd expect. When comparing similar cars, be aware that a lower monthly price often demands more money up front. As with any national lease special, enter your ZIP code on an automaker's website to check if these deals apply to your area. Prices do not include taxes or fees and may be higher or lower depending on your location. Research is always your friend.
2024 Toyota 4Runner
$439 per month/$3299 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
A new 4Runner only comes once every 15 years, and while the 2025 model qualifies as a cosmic event, the last 2024s with the 4.0-liter V-6 and five-speed automatic will cement their place in SUV history. This lease is even more of a deal because it's for the SR5 Premium 4WD, which includes niceties like heated power mirrors and front seats. A noisy engine and flimsy plastic trim are also part of the package—as is unbeatable reliability.
2024 Ram 1500
$479 per month/$4879 at signing
42 months/35,000 miles
For 2025, Ram is dropping the Hemi V-8 for the Hurricane I-6 across its light-duty trucks. Early impressions are positive, but the 5.7’s grumble is deeply satisfying and its pushrod, naturally-aspirated design has proven to be robust. This lease is for a Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab with a V-6, so you'll have to add $3045 for the V-8, which includes a 48-volt hybrid setup with cylinder deactivation.
2024 Infiniti QX80
$719 per month/$6250 at signing
18 months/15,000 miles
Infiniti must want shoppers to only get a taste of the outgoing QX80 before swiftly returning to the dealership for a 2025 model, which is the brand’s most comprehensively redesigned product in a decade. For a year and a half, you can enjoy a burly 5.6-liter V-8 that powered Infiniti's finest products (like the M56 sedan and the FX50 crossover coupe). It's a gutsy engine that thrusts this three-ton SUV into traffic with alarming ease. The infotainment is old, but this is a tough 4x4 with tried-and-true bones and lavishly padded front seats. Dip into the throttle and enjoy.
2024 Ford Expedition
$769 per month/$6521 at signing
39 months/34,125 miles
Large SUVs with two rows of seats instead of three are as uncommon a sight as a mint K5 Chevy Blazer. The Expedition XL STX on this lease deletes the third row and is the entry ticket for Ford's full-sizer. While the measured cargo space is the same 58 cubic feet behind the rear seats, there is extra space under the floor where the third row would ordinarily fold. Don't expect major amenities other than a 12.0-inch touchscreen. The STX is a fat-sidewalled, cloth-trimmed, two-wheel-drive base model.
2024 Ford Bronco
$660 per month/$5705 at signing
48 months/42,000 miles
Now that Bronco waiting lists are a headache of the past, Ford offers deals on every trim. Splurging on the Raptor is a $1200 monthly spend for a truck that barely fits in a lane. Instead, our pick for maximum style and value is the Heritage Edition on this lease (pictured above). This one has the Sasquatch package, white steel wheels with 35-inch mud tires, plaid cloth seats, and the seven-speed manual transmission. Plus, as a two-door with a white roof and retro grille, this Bronco arguably has more style than the widebody Raptor.
2024 Chevrolet Suburban
$879 per month/$9069 at signing
39 months/32,500 miles
Chevrolet doesn't offer big discounts on its hot-selling large SUVs, so this lease special requires a hefty down payment for a 4WD LT. In return, you get a glorified bus with 145 cubic feet of cargo space. Next year is the Suburban's 90th birthday—it's the longest-running American nameplate—and the 2025 model brings all-new tech with a new dashboard. This current-model-year version (or any year, really) gets you a smooth ride, a four-ton tow rating, and room for the whole crew.
2024 Jeep Wrangler
$319 per month/$3979 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
The plug-in-hybrid Wrangler 4xe keeps dropping in price, to the point where it's now just as affordable to lease as a lower-end Honda Accord. A federal $7500 tax credit for leased PHEVs is a significant chunk of the savings. And its more economical to drive this Willys 4xe, with its 25-mile estimated electric range, larger 33-inch tires, and locking rear diff, than the base gas-only Sport. New for 2024 are side curtain airbags and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This deal, however, is only for returning Stellantis/FCA lessees.
2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup
$899 per month/$4499 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
GMC says the electric Hummer is a hybrid—not its 625-hp dual-motor powertrain, but the manner in which the frame and body are mechanically linked to the Corolla-sized battery in the floor. Regardless of how you name the structure, a Hummer is not some crossover weakling. It's just shy of 10,000 pounds and $100,000 to start. That's what makes this lease very appealing. GMC hasn't been able to sell more than a few thousand Hummers last year after moving fewer than 900 in 2022. With such a low signing payment on this base 2X trim, a Hummer this affordable should give you pause if you're shopping a Sierra 2500.
