    Kinda like choosing a new S&W or Ruger .22 over Jennings .22.

    Keep It. You should get at least 300k out of it. I'm a mechanic and work on a lot of Toyotas, many of them with 250-300k miles on them and still running strong. Save your $, the future looks kinda dim!

    I've been running this same exercise in my head with my 2005 Frontier. It's been paid off for awhile and I love the truck but wish it were 4wd. I decided to wait another year to see how things look then. YMMV.

    Keep it. Spend some money buying some cool accessories for it, slap new tires, put 100$ on a saving account each month in case of a mechanical problem, and live happy!

    F150 ecoboost...double the room. Double the power, double the tow rating. Same or better MPG.

    Or keep it and bask in the glow of no debt.

    Cash is going to be king for the foreseeable future. I'd keep what you've got and pile the cash up for a rainy day because 40 days and 40 nights of rain is nothing compared to Obama's economic policy.

Coming up on the 100k service mark though...
    The belt and pump will cost ya some but it'll be worth it. Keep it. Buy prep stuff with the payment you're saving.

    Keep it and drive it. My 07 silverado has 111k on it and like everyone else has said keep taking care of it and enjoy not having a payment.
