Things are going to be expensive for awhile.
I’d buy it. You have to make peace with yourself that it’s just a truck and if SHTF, you may have to let it go. But you have money today and likely you will have that money tomorrow. So I wouldn’t back out just yet because ordering may be more common, whether we like it or not. And with that, waits for new vehicles may get longer too.
If you are that concerned with a large downpayment then I wouldn’t make a large downpayment. Trucks tend to retain their value and loosing a drastic amount of value the instant you go off the lot seems like it’s becoming a thing of the past these days. So the advantage it seems may be in your favor to hold onto more cash and maybe just cover enough so you don’t have to carry gap insurance for example in my opinion.
