The fact that you bought your 2000 new makes it yours and yours alone. You would own this other vehicle yes, but would it really feel like yours? Hopefully that made sense to someone other than me.
I agree with GAROUTTE78, and that's what I plan to do.....but not as radical. Mine just needs to be taller. | Makes sense. Yeah, GAROUTTE78 has a nice truck but not my style as well.

I have a 2000 XLT 4x4 that I have driven since it had 6 miles on the odometer. Now it is at 225900 and still going strong. I have been the only driver and could never find anything to complain about. We all get the urge for something different, but cooler heads will stop and consider what the disadvantages are with a trade. I expect I will drive mine to 400,000 miles. Right now, it is getting 23 mpg so I really cannot find a better vehicle to replace it for what it does. | Dang, thats alot of miles. What repairs have you done if any?
