    why trade it? If it’s paid off which I’m assuming it is, then why go get yourself another payment? Or is it out of boredom as you want something new/different. My 2015 has 106k on it. I have replaced the brakes, changed all of the fluids, changed the serpentine belt, spark plugs and filters. The truck runs great and I honestly expect to get another 100k without any issues. But honestly it’s up to you it’s your money, but I do know one thing, buying vehicles is never a winning game. Except for the occasional COVID deal I suppose!

    Keep it. Unless you like nannyware, you likely won't like the 2022!

    And as the other's have said, have the transmission fluid changed. A drain/refill is something, but I would go for a proper change at a dealer. Just query them first to find out what they do. The right way is to use the tranny's pump to cycle out the old fluid while new fluid is added. The wrong and dangerous way is using an external pump.

    I'm one that will keep a vehicle until it'll no longer serve the purpose I bought it for. Until I hit the point that I'm having to pay for a lot of repairs, I've found it cost less and less for each year of ownership. I no longer put a lot of miles on cars, though. I just sold a 2003 Tundra at 18 years and 120,000 miles. There's no way I would have sold it if I hadn't needed a larger truck to pull the travel trailer we just bought.

    One bit of advice from reading some of the above posts, though. Don't get all wrapped up in what you got for a used car on trade in. Dealers will juggle the numbers to make you feel like you're getting more than you actually did. I've sold my last few cars outright and gotten a cash deal on the car I bought.
