Financing Questions

Do you offer 0% down financing on trucks?

+

Yes! We offer competitive 0% down financing options for qualified buyers. Our financing programs are designed to make it easy to get into your dream truck with minimal upfront costs. Approved customers can drive home the same day with minimal documentation. Visit our pre-approval page to check your eligibility.

Can I get approved with bad credit?

+

Absolutely! We work with specialized lenders who consider applicants with bad credit, previous bankruptcy, or foreclosure. Your credit score is just one factor in our approval process. We focus on your income and employment history. Apply online for a free pre-approval or call (813) 464-9023 to discuss your situation.

How long does the approval process take?

+

Most approvals take 5-15 minutes for our online pre-approval. Full financing approval typically takes 1-2 hours once you've selected your truck. We process applications during business hours (Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 9am-3pm, Sunday by appointment only). Some approvals can be completed same-day, allowing you to drive home that day.

What documents do I need to finance a truck?

+

Typically, you'll need:

  • Valid photo ID
  • Proof of income (recent pay stubs or tax returns)
  • Proof of residence (utility bill or bank statement)
  • Proof of employment (verification letter)

For self-employed individuals, we may request 2 years of tax returns. Having these documents ready speeds up the approval process significantly.

What are the typical financing terms and interest rates?

+

Our financing terms range from 36 to 84 months depending on your approval and preference. Interest rates vary based on credit score, down payment, loan term, and vehicle choice. Current rates are highly competitive. We recommend getting a pre-approval quote to see your specific rates and terms. Contact us at (813) 464-9023 for details.

Do you accept trade-ins?

+

Yes, we accept trade-ins on any vehicle make and model. We'll provide a fair market value estimate for your vehicle, which can be applied toward your new truck purchase. Bring your vehicle's title and keys for a quick appraisal. Trade-in value can be applied immediately to reduce your financing amount or as a down payment.

Do I need a cosigner to get approved?

+

Not necessarily. Many customers qualify on their own. A cosigner may help if you have limited credit history, low income, or poor credit. If a cosigner would strengthen your application, we can include them in the process. Call us to discuss whether a cosigner would help your specific situation at (813) 464-9023.

Is there a prepayment penalty?

+

No! Most of our financing options have zero prepayment penalties. You can pay off your loan early without any extra charges. This is a great way to save on interest if your financial situation improves. Ask your finance specialist about prepayment terms during your purchase.

Is insurance required for financed trucks?

+

Yes, comprehensive and collision insurance is required for all financed vehicles per lender requirements. We recommend maintaining full coverage to protect your investment. Insurance costs vary based on the truck model, your driving history, and chosen coverage levels. Insurance is typically not included in your monthly payment.

Inventory Questions

What's your current inventory of trucks?

+

We stock a wide selection of Ford F-250, F-350, Chevy 2500/3500, GMC 2500/3500, and RAM 2500/3500 trucks in various conditions and price ranges. Our inventory changes regularly as new trucks arrive. View our current inventory online or call (813) 464-9023. You can also request a specific truck and we'll help locate it.

Can you build a custom truck to my specifications?

+

Absolutely! We specialize in custom builds. Whether you want specific lift heights, wheel sizes, colors, or features, we can help. The process starts with a consultation where we understand your vision and budget. We'll source the truck and parts, then handle full installation. Custom builds typically take 2-6 weeks depending on parts availability and complexity.

How do I special order a truck?

+

Visit our inventory page or call (813) 464-9023 to discuss your requirements with our specialists. We'll locate the exact truck you want and can arrange delivery. Many special orders can be completed within 2-4 weeks. A deposit is typically required to secure a special order.

How often is your inventory updated?

+

Our inventory is updated daily as new trucks arrive and existing trucks sell. Check our website frequently or subscribe to inventory alerts to stay updated on new arrivals matching your preferences. New trucks typically arrive 3-5 times per week.

Do you only sell Ford trucks?

+

No! We specialize in all major superduty truck brands:

  • Ford F-Series (F-250, F-350)
  • Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500
  • GMC Sierra 2500/3500
  • RAM 2500/3500

Each brand has loyal customers and unique strengths. We can help you compare and choose the best fit for your needs.

Why are your prices different from other dealers?

+

Several factors affect truck pricing:

  • Condition and mileage
  • Included upgrades (wheels, lift kits, tires)
  • Market demand
  • Customization work already completed

We price competitively and our trucks are typically priced below market due to rebuilt titles. Third-party warranties are available for purchase if desired. Contact us for a price check on any truck you're interested in.

Are your trucks certified pre-owned?

+

Our trucks are inspected before sale, but most carry rebuilt titles as we source from auctions. Vehicles are sold as-is. We provide full transparency about each vehicle's history and condition. If you want warranty coverage, we can help you purchase one through a third-party provider. Call us at (813) 464-9023 to learn more about a specific truck.

Can I get a test drive?

+

Absolutely! We encourage test drives for all interested customers. You'll need a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Visit us during business hours or call (813) 464-9023 to schedule a test drive at your convenience. We also offer delivery tests and can accommodate same-day appointments.

Is wheel alignment included after lift kit installation?
