    That really is an awesome thing for a loan company to do. They could tell you to stick it and pay up. You never know what you can get unless you call and ask!

    Yeah but when the engine goes in less than 11 months thenyou're on your own. The truck was a piece of junk. I put thousands into a truck that had issues from day one. Stay away from lonely mountain. R.I.P off lease trucks!

    Yes it does! I don't think you would ever see a bank do that!.

    These trucks that you buy from Lone Mountain are used company trucks! Newsflash! You are going to have breakdowns and parts failures. If you think that all you need is enough money to cover the down payment and go into business, you are sadly mistaken! There should be enough money in the bank to cover needed repairs and breakdowns. Remember, a good business man prepares for success! If you are unprepared then how is that Lone Mountains fault?

    well said fireba 11
    all the trucks they sell have a powertrain warranty and you can buy extra out to as much as 250,000 miles, so if something major goes bad in 11 months and your not covered.... well then maybe YOU shouldn't have been so cheap

    Because you have to blame someone other than yourself!
    No matter where you buy a truck it could be as great truck, an OK truck, or a real lemon. None of these used truck lots or lease Co look past getting DOT sticker. It's up to you as a buyer to look real good or take it to someone for evaluation.

    A common complaint of company drivers is they spend too much time in the shop. They then become owner operators and expect things to suddenly be different......
