I’ve never thought that it would happen

I've been eyeing a 19 Lariat crew 6.5' bed 5.0 4x4 3.73 502a package. The price is a bit painful though.

That was a great gesture from your wife. I’d keep my truck I was perfectly happy with and take her on vacation.. somewhere you can get a little fishing in wouldn’t hurt either

I window shopped a couple of trucks today and those Lariat models were in the mid to upper $50’s.... I just can’t get excited enough about it at all.

It’s a setup. Lol. Wife told me I should go look for a new truck. Picked one out and brought her home. 2 days later her, also new one, was delivered to the house

[Bsktball55]

I don't see any reason to buy a new truck just because. Then again, I keep my trucks for 10-11 years and around 200,000 miles before trading. My truck is 2.5 years old and I'm just getting it to where I want with accessories and stuff. Couldn't imagine trading it in as soon as I get it the way I like it.

[black dallas]

does she tell you what to wear every day too?

[enforcer410]

it's an XL, Pass.......

Explain why spending more is better?

My wife told me yesterday that I should start looking at trading on a new truck and I just don’t have the urge to do it. I currently have a 2015 F150 XLT supercrew sport edition with the 5.0 in 2 wd with less than 24000 miles. She doesn’t want me to switch to another brand either. Other than getting into a 4x4 nothing really excites me about trading. https://www.fairwayford.com/new-Gree...EW1E5XKFA28094 the truck in this link has some appeal to me but it isn’t at my local dealer. Maybe I should take a road trip and see it in person and see if I get excited enough to want trade.

Told my wife same thing. Have enough trucks and a new boat is the same price and u cant have too many boats !

[Fishfinger]

Maybe she’s dating the guy that owns the dealership and she’s just trying to get him some more business....just kidding.

[ksubasser24]

You said she wants you to get a 4x4. Maybe she needs you to get a 4x4 so she can find you more attractive than her boyfriend. Maybe she wants to go out and get a little mud on the tires. Just kidding of course. Why does she want you to get a 4x4.

So what ever happened to just keeping it and being happy with what you have?
-
I have a 12 year old truck I bought new; been paid off for years. Since I’m not making payments on it, I see it as it’s just making me money everyday!
-
It’s a truck, it still does truck stuff, no clue why I would lighten my wallet for something new for no reason.......unless I’m missing something here.

I also have a 12 year old truck (07 F 150 CC XLT 151k miles) that I really love driving it everyday but it's to the age to were do I keep putting money into repairs (tranny only major one others minor) or sell it why there is still value in the truck? I keep the truck in very good condition and have all records on every single thing that was done to it. Probably can sell it for about $9-10k according to KBB and NADA values.
The wife thinks it's time for a newer truck which is surprising but a part of me wants to drive it into the dirt to see how long it will go before it can't go no more.

Why listen to what the wife wants or doesn’t want

Explain why spending more is better?

Because if I'm going to spend that kind of change I want to be able to adjust the front seat into a comfortable position. Just one of the things I dont like about the XL.

This setup was 62K. Think the dealer was offering 2K off.

[Bassman Ia.]

50% hers in the divorce

[jlperkins]

Tell her ok, and trade her car in ? Then she will have what she wants, and you will still have your truck you like.

[n2ratfishin]

Your house, your finances, your buisness. If you normally take your truck on family vacations and its four years old with 24K miles it sounds like you need more vacations.
