The Great Dane Freedom LT is a trailers model built around a 13,500 lb operating weight; a full horsepower spec wasn't publicly available at the time this page was generated.
Priced at $52,000, the Freedom LT is modeled here as a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease at an estimated 8% APR — $1,070/mo, building to full ownership at term end. For financing at this level, a purchase price at this level is often financeable with minimal or no down payment for established businesses.
