Shawna, If I wasn't clear I already have quotes from Toyota. My major question is how can the Toyota lease package which includes full maintenance (based on 2,000 hours) be less than their competitors truck only price? My concern is "Fair Market Value" lease. Since it appears you work for Toyota Corp. can you tell me who determines the FMV at the end of the lease? More importantly short of my operators doing any type of serious abuse to the trucks, do I have any exposure at the end of the lease or does Toyota gurantee the value at the end of the lease? I have asked for a copy of the lease contract (even a blank one) from my salesperson before we make our decision, hope to see it soon.
