My 805 credit score could only manage a 4.3% at my local credit union
3.49% / 3.59% on my usual sites - Navy Federal and Pentagon Federal. A 60 month is just a little more per month than Ford Credit's 72 month rate. $49k financed. I have about 13-14 months left of my wife's 3-yr Rubicon loan, and about 3.5 left on my Shelby loan. I'll double up payments when the Jeep is paid off and pay the S/D off in about 3 years. Or sell the Shelby and pay it off in 2.
1.6%APR for 36 months after $51K down payment. Will pay it off after 18 months. My retirement income from our company's previous owner (Tenneco, same company that owns Rancho) covers the monthly payment, so there was zero impact on my take home pay. First new truck I've bought since 1986.
Lucky I had a paid off '13 F150 Platinum as a trade in. Ended up financing a little over 20K and notes are $420 @ month. The 150 Ecoboost couldn't quite handle the 5th wheel!!
My first new truck the 15' at 22yrs old I put down 4K and it was 40xxx$ after TT so I finance 36xxx$ at 4.25% payment was 586$ for 72months
my 17 was 59xxx$ after TT , Truck was rebated down 10k So went to 49xxx$ and than the dealer gave me 6500$ trade in on what I owed on my 15 so final loan amount was 43xxx$ And I pay 683$ For 72month at 3.50%
I'm happy I traded my 15' in for the 17+ trucks are so much nicer in every aspect and plus I got to try out the diesel for only 100$ more a month can't complain love it so far
Ordered a 2019 Base XLT, just the options I would use or may use in the future. This kept the price down so I paid cash, because I could. My other truck, a F350 is 12 years old. I tend to take care of and keep my Trucks a long while. Previous 1999 F250 I had for 8 years. I guess it is nice to trade every couple years, like a lot of the Guys on this Forum, but seems an awful waste of $.
Bought it last year & traded in my paid off 2013 F150 and put some cash down as well. 3.9% apr initially through Ford so I could get an additional discount. Made a couple payments and then refinanced through my bank at 2.39%. In the end my payment is under $400 for 36 months.
In reality, there are tons of variables that play into monthly payments. I never tell a dealership what I am willing to pay per month. It's always about the bottom line for me.
I started out with Ford financing @ 6% and I refinanced with my CU @ 2.74% over 72 months a month later (did this to get the bonus cash for using Ford financing). I think I put $5K when purchased and another $5K down when refinancing. Would have done more but at 2.74% it does not make sense when mortgage is a higher rate and investments are averaging more than 2.74%. Annoys me to have a an auto loan (haven't had one in 10 years or so. If everything were at the same rate I would payoff the auto loan tomorrow. Monthly it's high $700's but I pay extra so pay it off in 5 years or less.
Putting cash into a vehicle in this investment market makes no sense to me. I financed it all (less TT&L) at 3.35% and left the down payment cash invested where its making 28%/yr. No brainer.

To a point you are totally correct, I’ve been going back and forth on this as well, market has been great and have basically made my down payment in the last couple weeks. But we like to keep our month to month bills low so we’ll put a sizeable chunk down so we only have to pay around $200 a month. There are many ways to skin a cat and investments are separate from regular cash to cover bills. I don’t want to have to pull money once a month to pay a huge truck bill.
Side note, super excited since today is the day my Magma F-250 Larait 6.7L order should have been submitted. Dream truck for as long as I can remember. Trading in a ‘12 F-150 Platinum with 97K that has treated me really well. Really looking to improve on my MPG from my current 6.2L!
