ORdering the truck-- Did you put a deposit on the order??? If so...
the way it goes.. you can decline the truck when/if it arrives. So,
theoritically, the dealership has nothing to do with your ability to
finance a vehicle on order... They will sell the truck regardless;
if you don't buy it, someone else will.
The cutoff date would be the reason it was declined. Wait 30 days,
and reorder...
