That's not to bad then. Are they both paid off? If so and your parents want the cash. You could always take a loan out on one and build your credit up.

Do you really wanna spend all the money modding this one now that you are pretty much finished with the ranger? i wouldn't. Then again I just hate chevys.

yup both are paid off. cash i get for my ranger would buy me the hoe, probably would end up making payments to them for the rest of the value.

You should try and keep both and lower the ranger and lift the tahoe and make the ranger your dd. My 98 runs a tired 3.0/5spd and I avg low 20's with a heavy pedal. Plus lowered rangers are a blast.

Morgan doesn't strike me as someone who would drive a lowered truck.

How many miles on the tahoe?

I would put a list together on both trucks on the pros and cons and make a proper decision that way.

Part of the reason I let my dads f150 go is because right now I dont need a truck that big. Do you really NEED a tahoe? I wouldn't mind one, but I dont need one right now. If you aren't having kids any time soon I wouldn't trade the ranger for it. Not to mention they are dime a dozen if you want one just buy one later on and keep the ranger for work duties.
Its all relative. Do you really NEED three vehicles?

Its all about what YOU want Morgan. IMO, even with the work you've done to your Ranger, it isn't as nice as that Tahoe. Those lifted ones you posted are badass. I love my Ranger...but I understand there are better vehicles out there. Vehicles that will suit my needs better. Thats why I've been debating what I should do with mine.

There are many people on here who have upgraded from a Ranger to a fullsize...and haven't looked back. Sure, you'll miss your Ranger...but you'll be happier with a fullsize that seats 6 comfortably, has more power, cleaner, 4wd, exc.

Not sure if the 3 vehicle comment was for me or not, but if it was you must not know that I am married and the wife has to drive something lol. She's driving the mazda for now until we start having kids. Then we will be upgraded to something with more room.

Make sure you take your time and make the right decision.
