    20-25% down
    anywhere 6 to 12% interest

    shop around
    if it is your first truck they will want more down and a higher interest %
    second truck if you are running a profitable business they will have check book open and offer lower rate off the bat. You eventually get to a point where you go into the bank telling them what you want and what you are offering THEM lol...

    If you buy new 1 truck- you buy a Glider.......And Buy it with Cash or 80% down- You don't want no Second Mortgage- Tax writeoff or not.

    Your tires n brakes are still going every 2 years......Why have a $2600 monthly to go with it, Plus your PH/D is gonna double or triple on new-

    If you want "Turn-key" Go buy new then- That's what Seatwarming buttocks drivers do
