I'm looking for some guidance on a new or possibly used vehicle purchase towards the end of this year/beginning of next year.
My wife and I are expecting our second kid in march. We're currently in a 08 Accord (150k mi) and a 06 Sierra (200k mi). The wife stays at home with the kid so she doesn't drive much. She currently gets around town in the Accord and I make a 60mi round trip commute in the truck.
We go on a monthly road trip from Houston to Rockport and have to be able to tow a 5000lb boat short distances.
What would you do if you were in my shoes? We're open to trading either vehicle in. We've been leaning towards getting rid of the truck and moving to a large SUV like the 18 Expy or 18 Tahoe/Suburban and then I would commute in the Accord and hopefully save $100/mo in gas.
The wildcard here is that I have the option to trade a family member straight up the 2006 1/2 ton Sierra for a 2011 3/4 ton Sierra with 130k mi.
What's the best play here?
Thanks in advance.
