Start with your down payment check as you can include most information in it without using a journal entry. Numbers as an example.
Price = 30k with 3k down plus initial payments. Without knowing the actual terms of loan and simplifying it let's assume monthly payments of 500. Thus your check or checks up front total $4000 ( 3k down plus 2 payments). If one check or just a 3k check in the check detail lines will be +30k fixed asset for truck followed by -27k loan liability = 3k down payment.
The 1000 additional will include both principal and interest and you may want to wait for your first loan statement to adjust amounts and if the bank does not apply the "last" payment to the loan up front you will record it as a separate other asset type similar to a deposit held on utility accounts and only apply it to p&i at end of 5 years. But whatever the bank says it what you go by.
You can set up a recurring memorized transaction to automatically record the payment on the 25th of each month and then once you get the statement make adjustments to p & i portions.
The truck asset includes all taxes and title fees but you can direct expense the license plate charge and not have to depreciate it. Depreciation over time or accelerated write off is a question to be posed to your tax accountant
