If the budget allows. Debating the same question now. Thinking of selling my two old and getting one new/newer.

Trying to decide this same thing myself. Not sure if I want to sell my car and get a truck to do everything, or keep my car and buy a cheaper hunting truck or SUV. I would go cheaper truck and put an aggressive tire on it. The car will be cheaper to operate, cheaper consumables and going to assume a nicer ride. I kinda had a similar realization myself, the BMW isn't going anywhere and I don't want to spend truck money so I will be towing an ATV with whatever vehicle I go with.

The 33mpg is nice, and it hasn't given me any trouble yet (83k) miles. I'm leaning towards cheaper hunting truck, but I don't want to pay insurance on two vehicles. You priced newer nicer used trucks...insurance on a $5K truck is CHEAP compared to a car note on a newer truck. An older hunting truck will have pretty well fully depreciated so insurance should be very cheap.

Yep, a backup vehicle doesn't have to be a Maybach. Something like the Honda Pilot the guy has in Classifieds is fine. Well kept, inexpensive, and reliable.
You never know when your new vehicle is gonna start crapping up these days with the lack of craftmanship and low-bidder parts they put in them. You might be down multiple times for weeks while the dealership gives you the runaround.
We keep two daily drivers and two backups.

I'm without an extra right now and hate it. Won't be much longer until we are back to having an extra.
