Which truck should I sell?

[Hanover Fiste]

I've been thinking about selling one of my trucks. I don't really need two, plus the wife has her car which she barely drives.

2005 SLT Quad cab: Pros: No cylinder deactivation, less complexity, easier to work on. Cons: Mileage (176k), age (>20 years), parts availability, not worth as much.

2018 Sport Crew cab: Pros: Newer, less mileage (<55k), roomier back seat, navigation, worth a lot more. Cons: Cylinder deactivation, more technology, more complexity.

How much you want for that 2018?

If you have a commute I would sell the old one. If you are retired or something sell the one that has more value.

If you change the SLT letters to SRT, there’s a post about a 20 yr old SRT selling for over $39k!
Keep the 18.

Sell the '05.

I had an '02 SLT RC with a 4.7 and 218k miles that I recently totaled. Ins. valued at $3800.

I'm thinking yours is worth a fair bit north of that.

Keep the '18.. more potential longevity and even though more "complex" the repairs should be cheaper as parts aren't as scarce.

Thanks all for the replies. The wife told me to sell the '18 and keep the '05. The only reason I bought the '18 was when the '05 eventually quits, I'll have the '18 as a back-up. I honestly didn't think the '05 would last this long, but I take good care of it.

No way I would sell the 18. Way better truck than the 05. Better motor, trans, hp/tq, ride etc.

My Wife tells me stuff all the time, I just don't listen!

Kinda sounds like you made your mind up already. Why sell the one you got as a replacement for the one you thought would not have lasted already.
