Downpayment for a used truck?

I am wondering how much downpayment do I have to have for a used truck in the $10,000 to $16,000 range? I thinking $2500 to $3500. I gross $1564 at month and my fico credit scores are 702, 710, 716.

Chase Slate Credit Card $1500 credit limit Best Buy Credit
Card $2000 credit limit Amazon Store Card $2100 credit limit .

My Fico scores: Experian 710, Equifax, 702, Transunion 716.

Downpayment is negotiable, so its really up to you and your creditor to decide what works.  A 20% downpayment might help lower your interest rate, but with your good FICO scores it may not be necessary.
