    I work local in the city. I had a 07 truck sold it last year.. new company doesn't mind if I have an older truck. My 2012 is running great. Def deleted after I bought it. Alot of these older guys are saying sell and buy a cheaper truck. Would you A just keep going with the more expensive truck or cash out and get an older truck that will most diff need some work done?

    Why would you want to sell a good running truck and buy an unknown truck just to get some cash out? You will spend the cash to fix the unknown truck then you end up with an older truck or even worse.

    Is your truck paid off? And how many miles on it?
