But fret not, there are certainly alternative automobiles that newly minted troops can finance \u2014 terribly \u2014 when eager to blow that first paycheck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Toyota Tundra<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-3.40.26-PM.png.png\")
(Image via Toyota)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis behemoth of a truck is exactly what you need if you\u2019re looking for a pickup that says, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome for my service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It even comes in a color called \u201cLunar Rock,\u201d which, in case you\u2019re wondering, is a shade somewhere between Navy ship grey and Humvee tan \u2014 an added layer of military appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Ford Mustang<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-4.17.36-PM.png.png\")
(Image via Ford)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOld reliable. The Ford Mustang is a mainstay for military members whose favorite movie is probably \u201cTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the perfect car if you like to be a blur of flashy, loud color while making donuts in an off-post Denny\u2019s parking lot at 2 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Tesla<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-4.06.00-PM.png.png\")
(Image via Tesla)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere is a growing number of men who worship at the altar of Elon Musk, including, we assume, military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teslas are flashy and largely unaffordable to the junior enlisted, which makes them absolutely perfect for the fresh-out-of-basic E-1 looking to impress high school buddies back on the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Toyota Tacoma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-3.43.40-PM.png.png\")
(Image via Toyota)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA little smaller and more agile than the Tundra, the Taco is great for those wanting to feel like a G.I. Joe while taking the kids to soccer practice or making runs to Home Depot for some tasteful kitchen backsplash tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, it comes in \u201cArmy Green,\u201d so it\u2019s practically begging to be driven on or near a base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This behemoth of a truck is exactly what you need if you\u2019re looking for a pickup that says, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome for my service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It even comes in a color called \u201cLunar Rock,\u201d which, in case you\u2019re wondering, is a shade somewhere between Navy ship grey and Humvee tan \u2014 an added layer of military appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Ford Mustang<\/h4>\n\n\n\n(Image via Ford)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOld reliable. The Ford Mustang is a mainstay for military members whose favorite movie is probably \u201cTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the perfect car if you like to be a blur of flashy, loud color while making donuts in an off-post Denny\u2019s parking lot at 2 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Tesla<\/h4>\n\n\n\n(Image via Tesla)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere is a growing number of men who worship at the altar of Elon Musk, including, we assume, military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teslas are flashy and largely unaffordable to the junior enlisted, which makes them absolutely perfect for the fresh-out-of-basic E-1 looking to impress high school buddies back on the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Toyota Tacoma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n(Image via Toyota)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA little smaller and more agile than the Tundra, the Taco is great for those wanting to feel like a G.I. Joe while taking the kids to soccer practice or making runs to Home Depot for some tasteful kitchen backsplash tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, it comes in \u201cArmy Green,\u201d so it\u2019s practically begging to be driven on or near a base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Old reliable. The Ford Mustang is a mainstay for military members whose favorite movie is probably \u201cTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the perfect car if you like to be a blur of flashy, loud color while making donuts in an off-post Denny\u2019s parking lot at 2 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Tesla<\/h4>\n\n\n\n(Image via Tesla)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere is a growing number of men who worship at the altar of Elon Musk, including, we assume, military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teslas are flashy and largely unaffordable to the junior enlisted, which makes them absolutely perfect for the fresh-out-of-basic E-1 looking to impress high school buddies back on the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Toyota Tacoma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n(Image via Toyota)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA little smaller and more agile than the Tundra, the Taco is great for those wanting to feel like a G.I. Joe while taking the kids to soccer practice or making runs to Home Depot for some tasteful kitchen backsplash tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, it comes in \u201cArmy Green,\u201d so it\u2019s practically begging to be driven on or near a base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
