For the past few months my wife and I have been considering replacing our 2011 Nissan titan 4x4 for a new one. There is nothing wrong with our current truck other than age . The reason we thought about replacing it is due to me looking to retire in a year or so and I dont want any payments. So it is kinda now or never. After looking at a size to size new buy we were floored by the prices that all manufactures wanted for them and considered a small 4x4 and asked for some advice on another forum, since we do use the truck for towing. Well after a lot of research we have made our decision. We have decided to keep the old Titan, It only has just over 80k on the clock and will take a lot of years to wear it out. So we will spend a few bucks to refreshing the whole truck and replace the sun damaged bed liner, other sun damaged items and just keep it. In its life it has taken us off roading all over the western U.S., pulled my tilt bed car trailer, my 24 foot RV, bacame our off road tent camper and has hauled dirt, gravel and a host of trash runs. It was use to move my youngest daughter and stuff to Montana to pursue her Masters and next month it will be used to return her and stuff. It will also be used by her as she heads out across the Cali Desert and mountains to explore Geo sites so she can finish her field work in plate tectonics (needed for her field work for her Phd). I cant think of a better veh she should use then the truck she grew up with and used that got her interested in Geology in the first place. I may not be driving the coolest truck around but I will have cash in my pocket and memories in my head. Live long old friend.
yeah I have been looking at trucks for over a year now, and just can't bring myself to pay the prices these days .... looked at used too and they are crazy also, I can't see paying over $20K for a basic truck with over $100K miles and a lot of rust ... so I'm still truckless for now, still hoping this bubble will burst but it looks like it's going to be a while longer
I'd say the Titan is a keeper, as long as it isn't giving you any major trouble
The prices are mind boggling to me when thinking about what they cost not so long ago. Cousin bought a 22 super duty and I almost passed out when the sticker was $104k

I thought my 2013 FX2 F150 being 52,500 Canadian when new in 2013 was nuts.
The Company I work for just paid 90K for a F550 SCab to pull a 36' Gooseneck.

It's crazy. I can't even imagine what it would be like to see that 10-15 years ago. Granted, its loaded and has some kind of aftermarket package from new, Rocky Ridge or something, don't know much about trucks. But still 104k for a dang truck that he uses for a work truck is insane to me. Of course he probably thinks it's insane to buy a 22 gt500 that only comes out for fun when it's perfect weather, lol

Very nice looking truck, but I think I would rather have your car than this for the money!
And yes you are right both are too much money for me...
