which truck would you sell?
 
The time has come for me to make a decision on which truck to keep and which to sell. What would you do?

Both are 99 extended cab 4x4's with 10.50 bfg at's

Truck #1-(body swap)
Black with 01 front end, actually an xlt
under 80,000 miles
4.0
5r55e
Most options
electric windows, locks, mirrors, remote entry, sliding window, cd, a/c, tilt, cruise
3:73L (rear)

Truck#2
Red
151,000 miles
3.0 FF
M5od 5 speed
few options
cd & a/c
3:73 open rear

Both trucks run good and have only minor things that need attention. Both trucks have good bodies. Either truck will need a little paint work before I sell. The red truck gets alot better mileage although I haven't actually checked it.

Keep the red one... just cause it's red.

Ranger_Guy15 03-27-2008 06:39 PM

I say sell the red one because it has more miles, and the black truck is more loaded.

Keep Black, Sell Red..

I voted red but thought it was for which to sell!

REUBER 03-27-2008 06:51 PM

keep black sell red..to me...

jtslmn720 03-27-2008 06:54 PM

i said sell the black because youll get the more for it and the red is still a nice truck

fifthranger 03-27-2008 06:56 PM

Sell red because it has higher miles and is a 3.0 liter. I can't believe the 4.0 gets much worse gas mileage, but keep the black one.

racsan 03-27-2008 07:05 PM

id keep the red just for the manual trans. or swap a manual in the black truck and sell the red.

4.0L OHV get **** for MPG. always has..

3.0L manual you can pull a good 19mpg out of a 4x4. Justins truck is that way.


personally keep the 4.0L

Keep the black 4.0 sell the red 3.0!

Pretty even split so far. The black truck is definatly more powerful and easier to drive because you don't have to shift. Sometimes shifting a manual is a pita. There is alot of hills in my area so I end up downshifting a good but in the red truck. The black truck is definatley a nicer truck and would bring more $ although maximum cash is not my motivation.

i voted wrong, i clicked red lol. anyway keep the black one!

04blackedge 03-27-2008 08:55 PM

Well it depends why your selling them, if you want money sell the black since you'll get more for it and the red gets better mileage. If that doesn't matter keep the black, everyone knows blacks the best color anyway.

sambob117 03-27-2008 09:01 PM

keep black, sell red

zabeard 03-27-2008 09:03 PM

keep the black one. Lower miles, better power. Might be harder to sell with the converted front clip.

vansnxtweek 03-27-2008 09:24 PM

Keep the black one (paint it all one color)...and sell the red one

Sonic04Edge 03-28-2008 03:30 AM

black stays red goes

WowMike2001 03-28-2008 03:48 AM

For sure.. keep the black one, better engine, lots of options.. much much much more creature comforts in it... Sell the red one, use the cash to help the black one out a bit.. and call it a day! :-D

mossyoak03 03-28-2008 04:51 AM

keep the black one let the red one live on is someone elses hands

JordanD 03-28-2008 07:11 AM

the black one is going to be impossible to sell, keep it and fix that one up. the red one will go easier.

01xltranger4x4 03-28-2008 11:43 AM

I accidentally voted red.

Keep the black one.

wvcat 03-28-2008 12:15 PM

Well I think you guys convinced me, I am probably going to keep the black one. I just have to finish up some things on the red one sshe will be for sale.
