My Plans Have Been Wrecked

Have you looked into compensation for loss of use from the other party’s insurance?
Idk how that works with a lease but have to believe you can continue your current plan without re signing for another 2-3 years on the same car. Assuming you were not at fault.
If you’re after a truck for a trailer, it’s only 8 months, what’s the big deal? Get one and drive it. Probabaly be a nicer experience than a little car anyways.

To the rest of your questions, sounds like you’re not decided on what type of rv setup you want anyway, so.....
Given the tone of your posts, it sounds like you do not have a lot of mechanical aptitude with vehicles, so I’d stay lower miles with whatever you get, but you’ll never (almost never) come out ahead on buying new vs buying used, financially.
Also, I cannot imagine the lease payments on a $50k truck. Big trucks hold value, run the numbers before deciding.
Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you weren’t injured.

Lease payments on an F-250 run about $620 per month for 39 months (probably similar to a $50K car). That's $620 with $0 down or taking this Dallas dealer's deal and spreading the downpayment over 39 months:

If you buy the same truck on 39 month term it would be around $900 per month (with the downpayment spread over that period). You can finance for 7 years and then it's in the range of $550 per month - for 7 long years.
