My truck loan after down payment was about $30,000 and I did a 72 month loan because at my interest rate, it was a difference of a few hundred dollars over the life of the loan. (assuming I take the full loan term to pay it off, which is atypical) It makes me a lot more flexible with my money.

Agreed. I did the 72 month term on my F80 in 2016 and the interest rate was 1.9% as well with a good down payment. The intent was always to pay the loan off early and will be done right around the 40 month mark in my case.
