possible new truck advice

so heres the deal...

my parents have made it clear that they would like for me to trade in my truck for a new 2010, basically the same truck, just brand new... great... new truck, start fresh........

my issue is that i have put a lot of aftermarket accessories and parts into this truck, and a lot of my time and effort... its true i can take off most, but not all of the things i have done... i will keep the tires, radio, light bar, tonneau cover, amp, sub, etc... mostly anything i can take off, i will keep... but its the effort to take them off... and reinstall some or all of them into the new truck... that would make it seem not worth it...

can i get some advice please?

thanks to all

 

You won't get much, if anything, in trade in value for after-market accessories but I guarantee you'd pay just as much to buy them all over again. If you want to mix it up, take what you have off and sell what you don't want... use that cash for some choice mods and live a happy life.

 

If they are giving you a brand new truck why would you complain about doing a little work to get off your aftermarket parts. Just take the time and take them off.

Sry, but you are about to get flamed big time..

 

the basic question is, to go new or stay old and get a 48000/4yr comprehensive warranty...

 

sorry no advice but are your parents looking to adopt anytime soon so we can trade in my old '05 for a brand spanking new '10

 

take it all off and trade

 

you're so lucky

 

Why are they wanting you to get a new truck?

 

because of repairs and warranty

 

You have an '06 and the repair bills are racking up? WTH did you do to it???

 

Strip it and trade it.

 

replaced front and rear shocks cause of too soft of a ride, repair (warranty) timing chain cover gasket, repair-not warrantied-idler pulley, spark plugs, yada yada, my parents dont understand that it is maintenance on any vehicle

 

need to replace leaf springs cause they are flat... had the whole front diff replaced under warranty, had front rotors and pads replaced soon after buying in may... so just a lot of headaches
