Looks like a lot of you have got champagne tastes for a first truck - LOL. I don't mind admitting that my first truck was a C/O Farmall. Four years old, low miles, fleet-maintained, new paint - all for $15K. Paid off in less than a year.

I moved up to 359's after that one, but if I had it all to do over again, I'd still start out on the cheap. Prestige is nice, but building up some money in a reserve when you're just starting out is a lot nicer.
