Default Would the upgrade be worth it?

hi all, currently have a 2011 supercrew lariat 5.0 love the truck bought it In July with 60k miles currently has 63k. While I love the truck I've always wante one of the newer body style 15- and up but at the time couldnt afford it. Was wondering if it would be worth trading in for a 15? I found a 15 with 15k miles, same truck as mine pretty much but a 15. Probaly will get screws on tradein and it will be wayy more than I can afford. But the dealers 3 mins way fron my work maybe stop by and check the truck out and go from there

All depends on the price, trade in and your budget. That's for you to decide if it's worth it or not.

If you do do decide to do it I wouldn't get anything below a 502A package lariat.

If you own your truck outright... I dont think it would be worth it.

The window sticker it says included in this group 501a and then lists options. What's not included in the 501 vs the 502? Honestly the way my current truck is speced out is alreay more then enough for my needs

502 has Sony stereo, power steering wheel adjust, heated steering, heated rear seats, LED headlights, auto high beams, auto wipers, navigation. I'm happy with the 501 package but I did add navigation and Sony stereo. Navigation was free with the moonroof at the time and I always get the moonroof. I upgraded the lights to anzos with HID lighting, which is better than the stock LED lighting that gets bad reviews.

Might want to find a '16 instead of the '15. The 15 being the first year and the sync mft radio are the two negatives.

a lot of trucks that I'm looking at are 501a, my current truck doesent have half that stuff and I'm fine, the issue is going to be finding a low mile 502a truck that will fit in my budget
