Trade my truck for a jeep

Should I trade my truck for a jeep

 

Mine is a 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3 V8 with 7 inch lift 35s dual exhaust and color matched front grille with 59000 miles on it.

His is an 07 with 91000 miles and a lot of upgrades.

I would say no. You'd be down grading for a smaller vehicle that isn't that practical with ugly rims and low pro off-road tires that too me doesn't make much sense. The LEDs around the rotors look cheezy to try to show off the rims even more. Personally the only thing I like on that Jeep is the front bumper with a Winch. Something tells me he's never used the Winch and might not even know how to use it. If a Jeep owner actually uses it off-road they wouldn't get those rims and low pro tires. Aftermarket stuff doesn't add value like some people think and hope they do. If you feel like you don't need a truck and would prefer a Jeep then buy a stock Jeep and do it up exactly how you'd want.

I was just going to say no.

 

Unless, like your buddy on the other forum said, you like guys.

[Zrodie21]

YIKES.

I wouldn't, but I've never been a Jeep guy myself.

Get whatever YOU want. Who cares what someone else thinks if you like it, you're the one living with it.

[BlackZ71Silverado]

NO! Absolutely not!

 

Jeeps are good to have as a second or third vehicle but not a primary in place of a truck, no way.

I actually just got rid of my 2015 Malibu and picked up a 2016 Wrangler Sport S. It's a nice little puddle jumper but really small inside and not really comfortable to be honest. The 6 speed is fun to drive and the little V6 is pretty impressive so far. I got it just because I guess, I had a Jeep CJ7 in high school and have been wanting another Jeep so I went for it. A lot of upgrades planned so it's going to be a money pit, just like my CJ was!

Sure if your buddy is kicking in another 10 grand or so to offset the values on both. Looks like Jeeps in the 07 year with near 100k on the od go anywhere from 15-20 grand dealer price. Your truck is anywhere from 25-30 grand dealer price imo depending on options.

 

IMO why? That Jeep no offense is hideous imo, your truck is twice the vehicle then that jeep will ever be no matter how much cash he sinks into it. My advice is hell no especially if you are talking even swap, I would question if that is actually a real friend if he thinks they are identical in value, only in a jeep lovers mind!

[Zrodie21]

I preciate the insight guys. I must've been drunk when I was even considering it. Lol

No. I own a 2 door and disagree that they're poor daily drivers but the 2007-2011s had the dog of a 3.8L V6. They were slow stock, never mind bigger tires and those terrible rims. 2011 got a much upgraded interior and 2012 got the much better 3.6L V6 and a better automatic transmission.

I find it amusing when people call a different brand a pos, know a couple guy who gut pretty good money for older jeeps. More than same year model ford or GM. When the last time anyone heard of a 1,000,000 mile GM or Ford p/u like the Tundra just bought back by Toyota. Nothing but regular mantiness.

[WilliamBos]

No. Youd be getting taken. Not a fair trade.

[KARNUT]

I'm not a small jeep person myself. I was just amazed on how popular they are. A brother of a long time employee has an old 2 door (C J ) I think, 15 years old lifted big tires soft or hard top beat on pretty good keeps on going. Depends on what you like, it's just not ones better than the other.

Jeeps can't be good off road. The one I was just behind slowed down To 15 mph to go over railroad tracks while The corolla~ in front of it went 40.
