    Keep it. Get some new rims and Wet Okole seat covers if you’re bored with it.

    I traded for a 2023 from a 2010 having similar miles to OP only because they gave me a stupid amount on the trade in. That won’t happen anymore. The transmission is sort of a downgrade too.

    Save 5-6k for AC/water pump and whatever else may pop up and put away the rest for a new one in 5 years.

    Keep it! The 2015 is the pinnacle of the 2nd gens!

    If anything happens to my 13, I'd try to find a 15 like yours!

    There's nothing better than zero car payments. I paid off my '93 truck in '97 and had no payments until I sold it in 2018 with 300K on the meter. Investing what would have been your car payment in the stock market is only good advice if you know what you're doing, and right now, the markets are at an all time record high with the indices at or near record highs and my favorite and best performing stocks, APPL and AVGO both hitting their record highs today, making buy low sell high more difficult at the moment. Not having loan payments frees you up for all sorts of goodies - tires, audio, sound insulation, lighting, and a million other things. You've got a lot of life left in your truck. I say go out and enjoy it.

    Thanks guys. I guess I'm keeping it
    She's pretty much stock with minor upgrades like Bilstein shocks and 265/70-17's. Maintenance is all current including diffs, trans, plugs, etc. Just need some new tires currently because the wildpeaks are toast. Not too happy with the wear on those things.

    I don't really want a new truck but was thinking lower miles and selling the 2015 would give me a nice chunk to put down so payments would be low. I don't mind the 3rd gens but the 4th Gen is fugly. Plus the libs running this state want all electric in a few years so finding something later on could be a challenge. Well my girl is getting some new shoes today so that will be nice and definitely will scratch that itch!

    Keep it and buy a new one! I still have my ‘06 PreRunner with 195k on it. I love that truck and still drive it to work two times a week. But I also really like my ‘22 Pro for other creature comforts and off roading.

    Keep it, I feel like there is a lot of creature comforts and aesthetic upgrades you can do to make it feel newer. Sound deadening, new speakers, nice new carplay head unit, some cool alpharex or motimoto headlights, shoot there's even some nice leather seat covers you could get. At that point it'll basically feel brand new!

    At least while you are thinking about it, you should start paying yourself the monthly payment amount and put it into an investment account, like others have said. Even thinking about it for a year, you'll have a nice chunk of change if you just invest in the S&P 500 or similar market index.
