The new truck will cost you a LOT more than the old truck. No savings to be had.
ON top of the much higher cost, You have sales and excise tax plus an insurance hike.
Or are you taking used, but new to you?
Your post reads like you don't like your current truck anymore. Maybe get the rear spring services and
a good tune up. But I would guess that 4 banger and a 4AT is a soggy combo.
Taco are almost tolerable with a MT but not with an AT.
Whacha haulin in that thing, by the way ?
I know when I put a load in my old ranger, that was it for the rear springs after just one dump run.
and it wasn't a killer load either. Garbage springs from the factory.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
