Any Benefit to a Newer Work truck vs Buying an Older one?

I'm looking for testimonials here. Was it worth buying a 2020+ vehicle when trucks from the early 2000s still hold strong? I feel like with the money Id save on a 2500 Ford or RAM, I could use that...

I think the bigger question is what the truck allows the business to do financially. If an older reliable truck gets the job done, the money saved can go toward equipment that creates additional revenue instead of another monthly payment.

Newer may make sense when reliability and downtime become a bigger risk, but I like the idea of buying what the business needs now and upgrading when the numbers support it.
