Trade in or keep?

[Realstudent368]

it's a 4.6L V8, suppose to be one of the better motors ford has made from what i hear, but I could be wrong.

100% correct... There's a delivery guy that comes to my work with over 600,000 original engine..

Unless you have a need for a new vehicle, keep the truck!! Once you get i paid off - instant pay raise!

^^^^^^^^^^^^DING DING DING DING^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sometimes i just cant put it into words....

Also i paid mine off last month and it feels amazing knowing for the first time in 5 years i don't have a payment this month.

Only 26, if i tried i could maybe pay off the truck in 2 yrs or the car in little over 3 yrs, but life does seem to happen sometimes so those numbers could become a little longer.

At least your truck runs on 87. Mine "recommends" 89. I also get better mileage and the engine runs smoother hence the reason Ram recommends 89. Just sucks paying for it. I've put serious thought into trading for a Nissan Frontier crew cab V6 but mileage is only +2 or 3 better than my Ram and is worth less than the 2 year old truck I have right now. I could probably trade and not really add any extra debt but would be getting a lesser truck with a lesser value. I've even thought about another SUV but I hate cleaning deer outta the back. I'll most likely keep my Ram. It's been a perfect truck mechanically, just chitty mileage but what can you expect from an engine that makes almost 400hp.

How old are you? Trust me man keep the truck you will be glad you did in few years. How many miles do you put on it in a day?

Don't know, bought it with 66k and has a little over 90k, november will be 2 yrs I've had it. I'm already a month/month&half a head, might ot seem like much but to me it is a lot.

I put mid grade in mine, seems like it runs better or smoother, maybe its all in my head, but i do have a few aftermarket parts on it though.

It's all in your head. Lol. What mods have you done?

Waste of money lol. air intake, jet performance module (not a chip, maybe one day.) throttle body spacer, 2 1/2 in. leveling kit and exhaust (comes out the side in front of tire). Might as well throw tint in there too. Guess i have some investment in the truck.

 

[Mr. Goodbar]

My insurance dropped $50 a month, maybe i should put some of that towards paying off the truck.
