Would it be worth it to trade??
Ok, currently I'm pulling a TT that loaded is about 8,000 lbs.
My Current truck is a 2002 Chevy 1500HD LT with the 6.0 gasser with 207,000 miles. I bought the truck new, and it pulls the camper decently, but at times it would be nice to have a few more ponies, and or another couple of gears.
There is a 2003 Chevy 2500HD LS Dura/Ally for sale down the street from my office. It has 167,000 miles. Condition wise they are pretty similar, and are actually the same color. I've replaced the A/c compressor and fuel pump in the last year, and it runs fine.
I could probably get it for about $7,000 more than I can sell my truck for. Would it be worth the $7k to have 40,000 less miles, and gain the Dura/Ally combo?
I'd planned on keeping the current truck, and passing it to my son that turns 16 in 18 months, then spending about $30k on a 3-5 year old truck for me, probably another gasser.
If I did the deal I'd find my son something, and drive the 03 Dura/Ally for 4-5 years.
Should I pursue making the trade??
