The term "bad credit" can feel intimidating, but it is simply a label for a range of credit scores that lenders may view as higher risk. Typically, FICO scores below 620 are considered subprime. This can be the result of several factors, and understanding them is the first step toward rebuilding. Common causes for a lower credit score include:
If any of these situations sound familiar, do not be discouraged. Our dealership has specific programs and lending partners designed to work with these exact circumstances. In fact, securing a manageable auto loan and making consistent, on time payments is one of the most effective ways to improve your credit score over time. Every payment you make is a positive step toward a healthier financial future.
We have stripped away the complexity and uncertainty often associated with bad credit financing. Our process is designed to be straightforward and respectful of your time. Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
We also encourage you to see what your current vehicle might be worth by using our value my trade tool. A trade-in can significantly lower your loan amount and monthly payments, making your new truck even more affordable.

Not all dealerships are equipped with the experience, resources, or dedication to handle subprime financing effectively.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to secure a truck loan even with a past bankruptcy. Many of our lending partners specialize in post-bankruptcy financing. Lenders will often look for a stable income and a reasonable time since the bankruptcy was discharged. We can guide you through the specific requirements and help you present your application in the best possible light.
While there is no single definitive number, credit scores below 620 are generally considered to be in the subprime category by most auto lenders. However, we work with a wide spectrum of credit scores. We encourage you to apply regardless of your score, as we focus on your overall financial picture, including income and job stability, not just the number.
A down payment is highly recommended as it reduces the loan amount and can improve your chances of approval. While the exact amount varies, lenders typically like to see 10 to 20 percent of the vehicle's price. We can work with you to find a truck and loan structure that aligns with the down payment you have available. Trading in a vehicle can also serve as a substantial down payment.
When you first submit an application, we can often proceed with a "soft pull" which does not impact your credit score. Once we identify a suitable lender and you wish to proceed, a "hard inquiry" will be necessary. While a hard inquiry can have a small, temporary impact on your score, the long term benefits of obtaining a loan and making on time payments to rebuild your credit history typically far outweigh this minor effect.
To help expedite your loan approval, it is a good idea to bring a few key documents with you. These typically include a valid driver's license, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs), proof of residence (like a utility bill in your name), and a list of personal references. Our team will provide you with a specific list of what is needed when you apply.
