If u gonna finance a truck and lease on just go brand new and get rid of the headaches..
financing a used truck is the easiest way to lose all your money.. you got a payment plus however much the truck is going to nickle and dime you when u putnit to work .especially an older one like that, that u have no knowledge of the history ofFullMetalJacket, cke, Sirscrapntruckalot and 4 others Thank this. -
Yeah Landstar accepts 2000 and newer. Aside from a little dirt and normal wear on the truck this elderly man took really good care of it. It has a rebuilt transmission and engine about 50k miles ago. He had all receipts of maintenance and overhaul. I’ve driven many trucks and this is one the best pulling and shiftingNumb Thanks this.

What if an asteroid falls from the sky? Simple things I can change on my own like brake chambers, fuel filters, turbo, bearings…oil etc. As long as nothing catastrophic happens then I should be fine!

I do have knowledge of the history of it! The old selling it had the receipts and an actual log of everything he’s done to it! I’ve already driven the truck and it’s solid and probably more dependable than this newer crap
