Wading into VERY unknown territory here. I've been wanting to purchase a truck for some time now and I think I'm at the point that I really want to pull the trigger.

I've only dealt with a dealership once in my life and that was on a used vehicle. No idea if I got a reasonable deal then or not but since I'm looking at buying new, I'd love to hear some advice/tips on those that have done it successfully here.

I hoping now is the perfect time. New year, Economy not doing great. I have almost perfect credit and no debt outside my mortgage.

I've been looking at used for some time but seems like people that buy trucks roll off the lot and proceed to start doing laps around the planet. Mileage is incredibly high on so many of the used trucks, even the newer ones.

Any tips/info/suggestions you guys have would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Vehicle in question is an F150 BTW.
