Not going to lie. I'm struggling with it being gone.
I traded in my '07 TRX for us to get our current '17 BigHorn. It was paid off, looked great, ran like a bull and I loved the sh#t out of it. I had the salesman take a few shots of me with it before we signed the paperwork and drove off in the new wheels.
(Sorry if this is TMI)....My first wife died in June of 2004. I had an '97 Dakota at the time. We did everything in that truck - rafting, skiing, trips to canyonlands and Utah, camping. I bought it used, the front end was never right (the prior owner beat the crap out of it), but we loved it.
I was a wreck for many months - I traded it in for a lease on an '05 Dakota about 9 months later. What a mistake - just as I was getting my brain back together, I unloaded the truck and immediately fell apart again. The '05 Dak was a hard plastic, soulless machine.
I met a woman later that year, we got together and she came with me when I bought the '07 - actually encouraged the purchase. We drove to our wedding together in that '07. Rebuilt my life around her and the TRX. And after years of financial stress, I actually paid the thing off early. It was symbol of my recovery.
Then I traded it in for the '17. Which I still have, still paying for, and yeah, I like it. But damn if I didn't go thru all that new-car-buyer's-remorse/goodbye-old-friend stuff again. Dude, don't feel bad about getting emotional about letting the old truck go. Been there....twice.
I just hope this '17 outlives me. Can't go through all that again.
