Truck owners?

[MVP]

What are the deals? Seems like Chevy and Dodge always have the better deals. They always have rebates and discounts while Ford often does not.

Remember, I am in Canada, it's called employee pricing so depending on the model it may be 5-10k off. I am actually looking to lease it and it comes to 139 canadian $ bi-weekly for 3 years. So about 100 USD bi-weekly to lease a new truck for 3 years.

What years have you had?

I had an 06 Dodge before. I didnt have any problems with it falling apart.

07 and 08. Multiple interior and power train issues.

Thanks for all replies. I am looking into Ford because they have great deals now and since I have been driving Fords for pretty much last 15 years now....I was thinking Explorer first but price difference is such that it just makes no sense now.... and apparently F-150 with 2.7 Eco boost engine gets better fuel economy than Explorer anyway. Plus you still can tow 7500lbs so seems like no brainer for me.

Do you need a truck for some reason? I know why RfR and BigB do but unless you do, I see spending money on a truck like that as a waste of money unless there are practical reasons for buying it. Or you have the money to piss away which is none of my business.

FWIW, I’d like one too. Feel like it would add about 3/4 of an inch to my ****.

How much down? Putting money down on a lease is foolish.

That said, that price does seem to good to pass up. $200 a month?

Well I like to go fishing and camping and was planning to buy a boat soon as well. So my new car needed to have decent towing capability... and as I mentioned I was looking into Explorer or other similar car and not really thinking about the truck until they discussed all the reasons to go with it at dealership. I am still researching cons and pros and will test drive one on Saturday to see how it feels. Maybe I will hate it lol.

I agree, that's one negative. They are asking for 1k down.

Tell them $0. It should only add $30 a month to your payments.

Buying a boat def changes things.

Generally, from my experience when they see that you are not convinced or say that you going to test drive some competitors they do all they can to make sure you stay with them. I will see if $0 down will work lol.

It has in my experience. The monthly amount just changes to compensate.
