Dont do it. Find you a nice used 04, 05, or 06 and buy it out right. I have leased quite a few in the past and you never come out all right. I got lucky this time and got out of mine and bought an 04 Lariat with 12,000 miles for 21 grand.

aside from those who constantly change vehicles, whats the benefit of leasing? at least by owning i can sell it when i want. id assume the decresed value at end of lease buying option? the fact you don't really have to pay for damages? i've never asked, so help would be nice.

well, one thing you can get into a nicer truck for cheaper....after 3 years i'm ready for something different anyway....you can still buy it out if you want unless the truck is worth less than you owe....then hand them the keys and get a new one...if it's worth more than you owe then buy it out and sell if you don't want and make a few bucks then go get another one....your vehicles are always under warrenty and it seames like they work with you a little more if you lease it...just my opinion but it works well for me....i've always bought my trucks and now i can spend 45 bucks more per month and have a brand new super cab, auto, 5.4 3.73's, 18" chrome wheels....all around very nice truck so it's a very good deal...
