Truth. You'd make it up in the difference in finance rates between new and used. A $30K loan at 3% will cost you $2300 in interest over 5 years. I haven't paid a dime in interest on a vehicle in many years. 0% on new vehicles is the only way to go.

I won't even consider a used truck nowadays. Way too small of a gap between what you can buy a used one for and what you can buy a new one for...and you don't have to worry about how a new one was treated before you got it.
