I have been contemplating selling the Titan and getting something different. Primarily due to gas mileage, but also because of the short bed on the crew cab. I have to have the crew cab, but really need at least a 6.5' bed. That need really limits my options to a 3/4 ton truck, which is fine, or the Titan long bed (getting a little too long in my opinion). The engine choices in the 3/4 ton really suck for economy or price (economy = gas, price = diesel).

My other option is to keep the Titan since I really haven't had any major issues yet. My issue is my $600/month payment. I have 2 yrs left at $600 with a 6% int. rate. I can refi at about 3.5-4% for 4 years and cut about $250/mnth out of that payment. I am about to get another vehicle to use as a daily driver, so the T won't be getting the miles cranked up on it any more. It will primarily be my weekend hunting/fishing/trailer pulling vehicle.

Opinions. I can't figure out what route to take

TIA

After looking at my available interest rates, I don't think I will go that route. The rates have come up since the last time I checked. As far as the diesel, it would be a used 06-07 Duramax or Cummins before the emissions crap. I know several people that drive them daily and get 20-22 hwy and 16-18 cty. I can't break 15 hwy in the Titan My other daily driver is going to be a freebie (grandmothers car) with only liability needed. I don't think it will take much to be beneficial when I drive 75-80 miles a day.
