My boss is in a bit of a predicament. He currently has a 05’ Dodge Power Wagon, fully loaded. It is a big truck with some balls. The original sticker was ~55K. He has an opportunity to trade the truck straight up for a 05’ vette with exactly the same miles and also carrying a ~55K sticker. He has a Bike, a Fiero, and the truck. He is really contemplating trading the truck to the vette… What would you do? Vote now! I can provide more details if needed, but I wanted to get this up asap as he is getting close to a deadline on the deal. ---

Mileage on each? does he really need a truck or did he buy it as a status symbol? ---

He uses the truck to tow all of his toys, but he could easily pick up another van or something for that purpose. Both are 40K miles ---

Bluebook them. If he wants a vette, sell it and buy something cheaper to tow with. Me personally, I’d rather have the truck at this point, but I’m not him. ---

Condition of the Vette? Has he got the VIN? Carfax, etc? If he’s in a rush to trade - he shouldn’t trade. ---

I would get the Vette and pickup a different truck, powerwagon is ok but it really seems like its just a quad cab pickup also looks like it has decent ground clearance but yet tiny tires? ---

If a truck is 5 years old and in mint condition it isn’t getting used the way trucks are intended to be used. Tell him to get the vette. He doesn’t need a $55k daily, especially when it’s a truck that rides like shit. Plus he definitely doesn’t need a waste of money like that just to do a little towing. ---

Power wagon would be a sweet name if it was actually a wagon. Big horn is such a stupid name. The only people who would actually buy trucks named like that, have absolutely no need to drive a truck. ---

I would have recommended the vette as well, but he just picked up a fiero for fun, and he rides a lot during the summer. The truck is mostly just a winter / hauling stuff I think this is a hard decision based on the fact it is another toy and with a bike, fiero, and vette one will be neglected. Chances are the fiero will be neglected and it is so clean I would hate to see that. Maybe he will chime in at some point. ---

Vette all the way. If it were a GM or Ford truck I’d have to think about it. Because it’s a Dodge I’d go for the Vette all the way. ---

For 55k he could buy a whole IHOP and profit from it. But since he already has a job, vette. That truck looks gay. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2005-vette-vs-2005-power-wagon/152638.md?page=2)
