Depends on your needs and you willingness to shell out the money.
Somebody will find value in your old truck and buy it. They will determine that yours has more value than thiers and the cycle begins.
That choice is up to you.
I think you should make the VW 4wd!
Have not seen one of those things in years. That one looks clean.

Your truck still looks nice. If you still enjoy it and it's in reasonable shape, I would keep it and save the money. You can do a lot of repairs for the $700 plus that people are paying a month on a new one. Not to mention, I would stay away from the 6.4 until they work some things out.

its my work truck and she's done me right for many years.i'm leaning towards fixing her up. new paint, interior, suspension motor work.
I have the airraid intake and a borla exhaust. my 4 wheel only works if i manualy lock them. needs new tires. dents and dings all over. luckily i can do body work and paint. i've had ball joints with grease zerks installed. new calipers, disc's and pads last year. new discs and pads ready to go on again whem i get new tires.

VW Caddys. In Europe the rabbit is the Golf So they got the nickname caddy cause its a golf with a bed.
