Got a new SUV

[CDA]

It has a 3500 rating and the trailer weighs ~2000, which leaves me with 1500 for bikes, gear, and people.

So you will be maxing that out on occasion.

Most likely, but not to often.

would it not have been better if you kept the truck and bought the $800 Nissan P.O.S that got 50 mpg for running back and forth to work?... at 3500 tow capacity...
trailer= 2,000lbs
3 ppl =450lbs
3 bikes= 600lbs
10 gals of fuel= 70+lbs
gear =50 lbs
tool box 20lbs
misc wt 20 lbs.

That was my original plan, however I was also trying to eliminate my loan. I almost have enough equity in the truck to pay off the SUV.

You know trucks are expensive when ppl use terms like equity when referring to the amount of money they paid already

If I ever have another car/truck loan I will throw myself off the lowest bridge I can find..

Drop the 1 off the front and I'll be interested.

Just seems amazing to me that an eight year old truck can be worth $14k, but it is.
