Default Should I?

This may be the wrong forum, If so i'm sorry, but this is the one that made sense to me... But I am wondering, I have a 2005 Ford F150 supercrew XLT 5.4.. I was in process of selling it and getting a Ws6 or a SS and then I kind of got the should I sell it or should I keep it.. I love having a truck, tow stuff, off roading and stuff, but I love cars I mean fast and such. What would you do? Thanks

save up and buy a cheaper fast car. late 90's t/a or z28...maybe even an lt1 and put some goodies on it. but id definitely keep the truck. i got a truck now along with my car after driving cars for 3 years....i couldnt go back to just having a car, im with ya on the loving the perks of the truck. id say keep it and save for another car.

Yeah, I want to work and go to school, but I'm in my Junior year, and I have more homework and stuff than I know what to do with

I wish I had a truck but I wouldn't sell my car for one.

Definatley keep the truck (especially a brand new one) I have a newer pickup as a Daily Driver and wouldn't sell it for anything. The versatility and safety of driving a big vehicle everyday can't be matched by an f-body. Save your $$$ and then you can have the best of both worlds.

Well it depends on how much you depend on your truck. Do you have a boat or something that you are hauling around all the time? Do you have to go off roading to get to school? Are you constantly hitting curbs and other ****?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, keep the truck. Otherwise, get an F-body, they are fast, fun, look awesome, and besides, it sounds like that is what you really want.

I have four wheelers and stuff to tow around, but my dad also has a truck. But he was thinking of selling his truck so we didn't have to gas guzzling trucks. I don't go off road to get to school, but I like to go muddin' and stuff. And yes I go go off road sometimes getting off a road to get onto another road to go home.

For now your best bet is to keep the truck. You don't know if you need something til it's gone, just save up for your car and get it later.

Dumbest thing I did was sell my Ford ranger that I had. Traded it in for a car, when I could have just bought the car...Ya know?

If I had known better, I would have kept the paid for truck, and then got the car.

In that case, I would keep the truck.....but I would also save every penny so that I could get an F-body in the near future

I was gonna do that and get an older truck and a car, but my dad said that was out of the question because it would be insurance on two cars and gas on two cars..
