Yes, wife will be getting a used SUV at some point. That part of the deal is happening.
Backstory on the truck: I bought an f250 out of college in '03 and loved it. Took a job in '10 that provide a nice vehicle allowance but required a vehicle to be less than 4 years old. Foolishly I decided to sell the truck I had wanted since I was a kid for the f150 that I have now. If I wouldn't have needed a newer truck, I'd still be in my f250 today.
Anyway, after 6-8 months, I grew to hate the job and left.
So, it's not that I "don't like" the f150, it's more that I want to take the money that's in the truck and convert it to an SUV that my wife will use. We've got a lot of money tied up in it and I'd rather use it to get an SUV than take on another $500+/60 month note.

well here is the best advice you could ever get.
create a account on copart. its a online car auction.
you can bid on any car at locations all over. they have 3 yards in louisiana alone.
they auction off wrecked cars and trucks and motorcycles. you dont need a dealers license at all.
most of the autos will have a salvage title because the ins company totaled them.
i bought a 2007 4door honda accord with 106k miles for 2500. i spent 1k in parts and have a perfectly running car.
my friend just recently bought a 99f250 4door 4x4 with the 7.3 for $2200 bucks. it also had a brand new garrett turbo installed before he bought it. he drove it from jackson ms. all it needed was a bed because it was beat up. that was only 800 dollars. he came ahead like a champ.
see where im going here? tons of cars and trucks for a fraction of the price of something not wrecked.i make a living doing this. very easy living. your welcome.
