I have a 05 f150 xlt with 170k miles. Trying to decide if this truck is worth fixing and keeping for long term or start over. Has cloth interior with serious stains in carpet and seats. Outside is rough. Let my daughter help me clean my truck... i washed out bed after cutting some wood while she sprayed all clearcoat off my hood. Gas tank filler has rust from door hitting. Pass exhaust manifold is ticking pretty good. Rear end cluthplates need redoing. I like truck but dont love truck. Has gryphon tuner and brandnew tires. Everything else is stock. Runs good minus mechanical problems. Almost payed off even with value of truck so i dont know if its worth trade in either. whst do you guys think?

"New tires". The final investment on most vehicles before replacement

Not "busting chops". Just stating my opinion. The point is, if the OP wasn't still in debt for an old vehicle he wouldn't be asking if he should keep it or not. Simply giving what "I think" is good advice might keep him from making the same mistake in the future.

Just wondering but how is this something to learn from? At 24 years old i dont consider this an old truck. I cant say i know any people my age that own a nice truck without a helping hand from parents. I help my parents with there bills. So in long run i dont see this as a negative situation just wanted ideas as to whether this truck with its flaws is worth putting money into and keeping long term or trading for newer truck. If i would trade in i wount be able to get a truck with less then 60k miles. With equal payments. I dont have father figure so depending how you see it this is only place to get honest advice. Thank you to all for your advice.
