Trading in a truck-how does it work?

I'm just curious about how trading in my truck would work..?
My truck is an 04 FX4 Scab but i just bought it last year and i still owe about 18,000...say i wanted to trade it in for a newer FX4 Screw...how does that work?
not that i'm going to do it but i'm just wondering

you go in there with some KY Jelly

Bend over...and take it like a man....wait, you're a chick aren't you? well you get the idea.

with the KY jelly, you might get $12k trade-in...and then you'll be about $6k upside down on another truck. best to just cut your losses and pay-off what you've got

sad thing is that you can 06 Screws with under 45,000 miles for about the $17-18k area right now

Sad to say it works just like tylus said....when you go to trade you get raped. You can try to sell it yourself but with how things are today good luck with that, especially trying to get what you owe on it... When I got my 06 I still owed 9k on my 02 I traded in.....that was more then I got my brand new 06 FOR

Sorry for the negativity:o
