Default To trade or not to trade?
Hey there folks
I have an 07 tundra DC 4.7 4x4 TRD and Im really wanting that 5.7 now. Im leasing the truck (due to tier 1+ money factor) and am 8 payments in to a 36 month lease. The super low money factor plus the fact that I'm scheduled to deploy with my guard unit in 18 months where the reasons why I chose to lease and not buy.

Of course i'll get hammered at the dealer on trade in, but I want to keep the tundra forever and dont want to pay off a truck that im not 100% about. My buddy says to lease another tundra and get the best deal possible without 'muddying the water' by having negative equity. That would then leave me paying for 2 trucks while trying to get rid of the first one!

Sorry to ramble, i'm just kicking myself for going with a truck that is so basic on options. I really want the 5.7, jbl with leather wheel etc.. I feel like I want the new truck so badly that I'm not thinking clearly - which is where you guys come in! Any thoughts, advice would be great!!

Thanks
