Exactly. I put 10K down on my Platinum F350 and my payment is 979 a month for 60 months ahaha.
TrickTruck, that is a very nice Toyota! Very popular where I live. People would offer good money for those where I live!
I got the short end of the stick on this one :(

Front with 4.88 Gears and TrueTrac diff.
Mile Marker Lockout Hubs. CV boots in good shape. If you don’t run them, they don’t wear and it’s had the Lockouts forever.
Suspension

Full Unlimited Engineering custom kit, front bumper, rear bumper, side bars and a roll bar (not installed due to the cap, but will come with the package.) These are not cosmetic. The ‘91 took a full size chevy nearly head on and sent the driver to the hospital and the truck to the bone yard, we drove the toy went to dinner. It needed some repairs, but the bumper was straight and true. It made the migration to the ‘94 without issue. Very strong stuff yet not heavy at all. The ‘94 gained only 200lbs when I put all this on.
There is a skid plate, but it runs a little cooler and I think gets better mileage without it. The skid will be included.

This system keeps the alternator from being overloaded and works seamlessly with the stock headlight switch. This can be overridden by switches in the overhead consol.

I put down some, financed like $54k on my '15 tahoe, payment is just over $900 a month. Throw my 5.0 into the mix, and I have over $1500 a month between those two. Throw another...nevermind, I'll start getting depressed lol..

Make good money for sure- but save up for it and pay cash at least enough to only finance 10k or so. My truck payment is $237 a month lol paying 750+ a month for a vehicle with nothing but depreciation is nuts to me but ah well.

No way... if you have a wife that makes equal or more than saVing up 50k or so takes no time to buy one of these, or a vehicle with a high price tag

The company I contract my truck to makes the payments for me. I couldn't imagine paying for a Platinum F-350 out of my own pocket. With the extra money from that, I have wasted it all modifying the truck ahaha.

holy chit, you have done everything!! I hate Toyota but I'd say it's worth more then what you have been offered and understand why you won't take a hit on it.

That is one hell of a built Toyota TrickTruck has! From a guy that has owned all three domestic brand trucks and my last truck also being a Toyota, I have to say that aside from my F-350, my Toyota Tundra was the best truck I owned...

Toyota does make a damn nice truck for sure. I've always liked the Tundras.

I put $10k down on my 350 and have equity in it now, only 1 yr left.
My Toy is just that, a toy compared to what the 350 will do. Wifey has the 350 today and it's raining so I'm not going to work on the Toy. For some reason it has spark, but no fuel. Gotta figure that out... 6yrs now I go out, connect the battery and it fires right up, runs like a champ. Now that I need it, no fire.
That's life I suppose

As a business owner, paying cash is tough. You end up paying tax on the money you spent and only write off a portion of it. Taxes push me to finance as long and as cheap as I can so I get more wrote off than tax at the end of the year. It also rewards buying new vehicles more often, especially when I drive 70k mikes a year. Buying stuff is a complex decision.

I agree with you based on your business needs. When that stops payments immediately become inconvenient and poor choice. Even at 0%...

Can't argue with that. Warren Buffets number one rule of personal finance, don't spend money that's not yours.
