Trade Truck?

Does anyone have any opinions? I have a 2004.5 2500 Short bed, extended cab with a six inch lift and 37" toyo mt's, and a auto tranny, and a pretty nice stereo, (all new speakers, two 10" subs in a custum box, amps, and head unit.) I have 16000 miles on the odo.
I have a buddy that has a 2005 3500 that is essentially the same truck only it is stock and has a manual trans, he wants the auto and i wanted the stick, he has 13000 miles on his, what do you guys think should we trade straight across?
any suggusetions would be appricated grately thanks.

hmm sounds rather fair I suppose, given his is a year newer dually manual and yours has those addons that should pretty much make up for the price difference. I wonder if yours might be worth more

3500s hold there value better. plus around here the lift would kill you in a trade.

I agree with that! Lift scream; "I look at me I've been beat!"

That is a good trade for you IMHO, Go for it.

It's hard to face the fact that not all 3rd gen 3500's are DRW's...

Sounds like a fair deal to me, and you're both going to end up saving a pile of money doing it that way than any other.

In the open market all of your mods are a minus. I would trade him. Even if you did not beat it, the general public will look at it and say it has been beat.
