Retail Loan
This is a simple-interest, fixed payment program that locks in an interest rate.
Customers can rely on a stable monthly payment for the term of the loan and own the vehicle outright at payoff.
TRAC Lease
Our Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause (TRAC) lease allows customers to establish the residual value of the vehicle at the beginning of the term.
At lease end, customers may purchase the truck for its pre-determined TRAC value or return it to ECF. If returned, and the equipment exceeds the pre-determined residual value, ECF will return the net proceeds to the customer. If the value is less, the customer is responsible for the difference. TRAC leases usually offer lower payments than retail finance structures and may have tax benefits as well.
Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease
The FMV lease is one of our most flexible finance products.
At the end of the lease term, customers have the option to purchase the equipment for its current Fair Market Value (plus other amounts or fees that may be due under the lease) or simply return the equipment, subject to inspection and certain return conditions and usage restrictions. It typically requires a lower initial cash outlay and lower monthly payments than through a traditional loan.
