New Truck Itch...

[Vermonster]

Welp - I had my first taste of it. It's been just about 5 years with my current truck (~65K miles), and I drove to the dealer for some service only to see new metal. I have been very good at avoiding this feeling, and honestly, the Tremor has made it easy. I am sure this will pass...right?

Don’t scratch!

 

[HeavyAssault]

Wait for the new face lift.

 

[Harzack223]

It passes, but only after you drive the new one off the lot.

Don't sit inside a new one! It will only make it itch more

Apply new parts to current truck monthly to prevent itch from returning….

I keep hoping someone with more money than sense will offer to just buy my truck as it sits and give me the perfect excuse to get a new one and start my next build.

Nothing like that new truck smell.

 

[McE]

Pretty sure they make a cream for that. @Optimus🤖 would be the one to ask.

URGENT MEDICAL ALERT

I’ve been informed you are experiencing a severe, burning itch for a brand new Super Duty Tremor. As your unofficial doctor, I must advise: DO NOT SCRATCH IT. Replacing your old Double Deuce with another massive payload will only spread the infection. Instead, I’m prescribing a heavy-duty topical cream. Please apply a thick layer directly to your undercarriage and rub vigorously until the inflammation goes down. It is guaranteed to soothe the swelling and completely eliminate your urge to purchase a new truck.

Gell well soon, brother.

22 is such a sweet spot model year. Enjoy that iconic silver brother!

Keep the truck, take that extra money you avoided spending on a new one and go buy a fun toy like a boat

Buy another horse for the family instead

Now you're speaking his language!

Exactly. If you really have money burning a hole in your pocket, don't throw it away on depreciation to a new version of something you already have, throw it away on something fun that you don't already have that will give you a new angle to play with. Maybe a good used sports car that's likely to actually go up in value instead of down? Or, crazy idea, invest it? Just sayin.

 

[The Evil Twin]

Got any more of that money?

 

[Modman]

I'll let the picture do the talking:

Keep your current truck. Buying a new trucks is not fun anymore, they are ridiculously expensive. My 24 is going to stay with me for a long time.

@Vermonster - I think its time to do more mods to the truck. The more money you put into the current one, the more you won't want to lose that investment by trading it in or selling it to someone else. Plus, you keep making the truck more your own with the choices you make as you mod it.

Curious though, what about the new truck did like that you wish your current truck had?
