What would you do?

My experience with the 567 is I always liked the look of them on the outside . Pretty sharp rides as far as aero trucks go, but the same as you I couldnt stand the interior of the truck. The dash layout sucks. The gauges on the right side I find they are laid out in such a weird way it kept me from looking at them. The digital dash is ugly as hell. I also didn't like the shifter having that weird bend in it. I ground more gears in that truck then any truck I ever drove. And yes it does become a rattle trap. Although most of the rattles I had, seemed to come from the bunk , so maybe in a daycab you won't have that... me personally I'd like to stay in the glider... but if it's that big a deal and the money's the same either way, I guess a guy could find a different hill to die on. Trucks just a tool to do the job at the end of the day

 

It may sound silly to some, but I understand the dilemma. It doesn't matter what kind of truck it is, when you put hundreds of thousands of miles on it, it's hard to let it go. It's like it becomes a part of you.

At my last job, I drove a 2017 Prostar. Nothing special, had a Cummins and a 13 speed. It had about 200k on it when I got it, it was filthy and neglected. I got all the issues fixed and cleaned it up like new. I spent the next four years in that truck, took good care of it and kept it nice and clean. Had a couple opportunities in that time to move into a new truck, but declined every time.

I had too much sweat and blood put into that truck... I knew every quirk, every squeak and rattle. I didn't have the heart to let her go. LOL.... plus it would have made my blood boil to watch some new guy get into my old truck and tear it up after I worked so hard to keep it nice.

On the other hand, if you pass on the new truck then you might have to watch it go to someone less deserving, and they will probably just trash it. So that kinda sucks too.

 

I'd keep the status quo. Not enough positives to move to a "new" truck.

 

Keep the older truck that's the best engine ever made. It's got instant power on tap and can pass everything on the highway except a fuel stop, but that's not your problem the boss will take care of it. New trucks with DEF, EGR etc can't pull a greasy string out of a hog's ###. Downshifting going uphills empty, ridiculous. Regens...

 

If grandma was here, she'd slap you upside the head, wasamatteryou? You didn't say if the Star was paid for, that should settle this toot sweet. Are you reading the news?This is no time to be buying a truck, we in for a heap o' trouble, and the very absolute LAST thing you need is a new truck payment. What are we talkin' here, $2,,$300grand? Please, reconsider this, we think of you as one of our "buds", and we hate to see you regret this. Keep the old gal, remember, "it's cheaper to keep her",,,

 

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thank the boss for offering you a new sled and stay in the Star car.
