What are your plans thus far for the 2017 tow rig?

I have a few options. I started a business last year after being laid off, and well, it could go a few ways. One possibility is that the business may have enough money to lease or buy me a fully capable 2017 F150. That's my #1 choice by a mile. #2 is a purchase of a 2-5 year old F150, but last time I checked, values were insane for those.
#3 is another short term tow rig for the summer of 2017. We shall see where my finances are when it comes time to pull the trigger.

Leasing works well for write offs here in the States rather than depreciating it on a purchase. Dealers use Black Book here too. At least in Michigan that is. Another one is Mannheim. It's a list of auction prices posted from the previous auction. Anyway you look at it, the price you paid is pretty good. I'm glad it worked out for ya!
