Is it possible to lease a HD truck?
I've been looking at used HD Trucks from 1999-2005 and find that the prices are pretty crazy. I think it may be better to just buy a new truck for a little more $. For example, I've seen 2005 Ram 35...

As a whole the people who buy new diesel pickups get taken for a ride and pay way too much for their trucks. It is almost a point of pride to talk about their $60,000 truck. As a result when it comes time to sell the truck they often still owe $35,000 to the bank and that amount becomes their bottom line for the sale.
I was looking for a 3-year old diesel pickup with less than 60,000 miles on the odometer in 2011 and all were selling for $35,000 to $45,000. I gave up on buying a used truck at a reasonable price and started looking for a good deal on a new diesel truck instead.
After a couple months of searching I found a brand new 2011 2500HD Duramax LT extended cab 4WD truck with the tow package, entertainment package, rear camera, and other goodies including GM tow mirrors, GM bed liner, GM chrome side steps, GM diamond plate aluminum tool box, and paid $41,700. It did take a lot of searching and the truck was at a Chevy dealer some 110 miles from my house, but it was worth the effort. I found a comparable 2011 3500HD for $46,000 but it had the crew cab which I did not want and for the $4,000 difference in price I could easily afford to spend $445 on a set of SuperSprings for the 2500HD.
