Your post is missing critical information, unless I'm not understanding the saga.

You had a 2015, on which you owed money. Your traded it, and bought a 2018, and had $11,000 in negative equity, which is why your loan balance is so high. In looking for a way out, you're surprised that a new vehicle drops so much in value, and that with your $11,000 in negative equity, you're even further behind than you were when you traded?

I would suggest you seek out a financial counselor to help you figure things out. The reason I suggest this is not that you made one mistake, but that you didn't seem to understand the financial aspects of it, and your poll has "trade up" as one choice, which is quite insane.

private party shouldn't be less than dealer trade in, you must have those backwards......If you can't afford the payments, you're gonna have to sell it to someone outright, and take the hit.

Not backwards. 20-22k loss if dealer trade in. roughly 17-18k loss if private party sale.

Im sorry but did I post that "Im surprised" somewhere? I actually thought this forum could be used for such questions as it relates to newer F150's ..... but pardon me .... apparently even asking if anyone has encountered this before just means i must be ...... surprised by it.

also your facts are wrong. where'd you get -11,000 from? I rolled over -900 on to the 2018. Might want to be sure of your number before you come at me with sarcasm like, "so youre surprised at this?"

Or you could just, not reply. how about that?

But hey ...in the world of the internet .... its MUCH easier to be a keyboard warrior, distort facts and assume things than actually say .... "yeah i dont know" or "i would keep it" or whatever your advice is.

Or pay off over 6-7 years, while driving it for 10 years. During the last 3-4 years keep making equivalent payments into a savings account so you have some cash built up for purchasing next vehicle.

OP, i would keep it and pay it down more if you can. How long have you had the truck? You probably are only paying interest at this point and none on the principal

Agree, as long as you can afford the payments claw your way out from under even if it takes a while.
