But it was a dog before you dumped about 7 grand into it.

And yet it's still cheaper and more powerful than a Gen 2 truck.

How many grands have you dumped into your current ride? I mean, does that really matter when people paid well over $70K for a truck with a turbo V6? Even the most highly loaded 2014 model with $10K in performance upgrades is cheaper and way more powerful than a Gen 2 truck.

I bought the cheap plain jane model for $53K. No performance mods but about $2k in wheels and tires.

And what can you sell your truck for right now? 2017s private party in the right part of the country are selling for more than $60k. I'm still miles ahead of you in terms of equity vs money spent. I've seen Gen1 selling for the low teens. Not holding their value so well anymore.
