Super Duty Leases?

I see that F-150 leases are pretty nice and lots of guys go that route. But I never EVER see leases advertised on Super Duty. Why is that?

I'm sure someone has an official answer, but think

1 - it's because the banks know it's going to get worked.
2 - most buyers are a type of business and take advantage of the tax deductions/depreciation for HD trucks.

Exactly. Trying to amatorize a Super Duty would be a nightmare based on their purpose.

At least in my area they do not offer leases on super duties. Not sure if that's nationwide.

I don't get this either both ram and gm offer leases on all their HD trucks. We lease all our vehicles but had to purchase my new SD.

I was offered a lease when I bought my F350. I didn’t take the lease or pay much attention to the details other than it was available. Might be a good option for those that don’t put a lot of miles on and baby trucks.

I know at least thru our local dealer you can lease super duties and raptors thru an outside lender but never trusted that. We lease our other vehicles thru ford and Bmw and have never once had a single issue at lease end

I can just see all that fine print.... no towing, no 4 wheeling, no more then 10,000 miles, no getting the bed dirty....

personally I think leasing is a waste of money since you still have to pay ta es (+ excise tax here) and the payments are about the same. You get nothing in the end... as in no equity to recoup for a trade in or something.

Buy your vehicle and do what you want with it.

I would never buy a leased truck that was given back as I'm sure it's beaten

Yeah you may need to lease through another company that specializes in that. They can get pretty competitive.



Anyway I bought a super duty that was owned by a leasing company. Needed shocks but was just fine.

(Leaving SD out of this) Leases in general are fine if you normally get a new vehicle every 3 years. Payments are not even close to the same as a buy and you only pay taxes on the lease payment not the entire vehicle. (You still negotiate the price before calc the lease.) I should say payment are no where close IF you compare apples to apples. (zero down, since it makes no sense to put money down on a lease, your only pre-paying your lease to bring down your monthly payment.)

Well none of this is reality. I lease almost all of my trucks and Jeeps. I do whatever I want with them, drive them as many miles as I want, and even mod them a little if I want. When it comes time to trade in, it works EXACTLY like a "buy" would...there's a payoff amount and once that's satisfied I'm in the new ride. It's also false that you have no equity. Leasing is NOT renting. When you lease, every payment you make decreases the principle on the loan and gets you one payment closer to ownership. At the end of lease, you can then buy the truck for whatever you haven't already paid down if you want....but I usually trade before that since I get bored easily. Leasing also keeps the payment way down.

From this thread, sounds like leases are rare for Super Duty though, so I might have to shop around some more. Hmm... I really like the idea of that F-250 Tremor with the 7.3L gas though. I think that might be a truck I'd keep long term. Maybe.

No Lease

Ford policy is no non commercial leases on Superduty trucks.
My local dealer tried a leasing program with a 3rd party finance company but it only lasted a short time.
The lease payments were only slightly less than a purchase, and my friend at the dealership at the time told me the finance company bailed because they were making very little profit off the leases.
They finance company was hoping for a large volume of lease contracts but very few people were interested.

I'd be curious to know where some of you are buying off lease SDs from. I'll be in the market for a 350, probably a dually, in a couple years. A nice deal on a couple year old truck would be ideal...

Blast from the past. I ended up buying a used 2019 since leasing back when the '19 was new wasn't an option. As somebody noted, Ram and GM lease HD trucks and they've done well with it. Not sure why Ford won't. Maybe because of all their fleet agreements. I guess the money doesn't work out for Ford.

Having said that, you'll easily find 2 or 3 year old SD trucks on lots. Lots of people buy them and realize they don't like driving these every day. The one I bought was turned in by a guy who "didn't like the ride quality" according to the salesman. So that guy bought a F-150 and I got a steal on this F-250. Just shop around.
