    Would really recommend buying cash. A truck 2003 or earlier will have no emmisions to wrestle with. With that being said I got my first truck through Lone Mountain in Tifton,Ga. Just beeeeeee careful. I put probably $20k into my 09' the first year or so alone. Your going to get a fleet truck throw away... Basically

    So if it's a 2009 or newer expect DPF issues right from the start. If you were to really do your research you will see.
    Compare and contrast motors and see which one you feel the best about and are willing to learn further.

    LONE MOUNTAIN. Or any other dealer gets these fleet throw away trucks and do VERY LITTLE to get them ready to sell again. They clean em' up, change the oil, and clear the check engine lights and that's basically IT. So it may seem like u get shafted from any one of these places but remember, they gave you a chance when a traditional bank wouldn't.

    Both are crooks!! Arrow just slightly less of a crook than Lone Mountain. A better option is to call an equipment leasing company. They will take the same down payment, give you a better rate, and you can find your truck wherever you choose. Try these guys http://www.finpac.com/ .
