Questions to Ask Before Purchasing a Truck

Good questions protect you from surprises. Ask them before you pay, and ask for the answers in writing where you can.
About the truck
- Is this the exact model and specification I was quoted?
- What are the payload and weight ratings of this configuration?
- What body and equipment are included?
- Is the truck new, and what is its history?
About the price and payment
- Is the price final, and what is not included?
- What deposit is required, and when is the balance due?
- Will I receive a written quotation or invoice naming the truck?
- Can I ask about financing options?
About delivery and support
- When will the truck be available, and how will it be delivered?
- What does the warranty cover, for how long, and where are claims handled?
- Where can the truck be serviced, and what servicing does it need?
About the paperwork
- Which documents will I receive, and when?
- In whose name will the truck be registered?
If you are still comparing options, start with the Truck Buying Guide and the list of what to check before buying.
