Buyers remorse about a used truck
Hi all,
I just recently traded in a Camry for a ram 1500, low mileage truck and 2023 bighorn. Trucks drives smooth no major issues with it. Had a few scratches which the dealership agreed to buff them out (going today) I’ve boughten cars from this dealership many many times so I trust their cars. But this time around, I’ve felt sick for days, anxiety up the roof, wishing I had my Camry back. Seeing the difference and thinking why did I get a truck? It’s not like I needed it, I just wanted it. The finances aren’t a bid difference, only like 37 bucks more than I was paying for my Camry, insurance went up by like 19 bucks so not terrible overall. It’s a V6 so while it spends more gas than the Camry, it does less than if I got a V8.
It’s spacious for me and the kids and the kids really love it, even my wife does too lol but I just can’t get over the feeling of so many emotions. I been throwing almost daily since I got it on Sunday ,5 days now and while it’s getting better, the feeling still comes and I’m a mess. Only solution is to keep it, wait it out and trade it in for another car. Dealership is working on giving me numbers for me to rebuy my Camry but that might not be a good idea.
I’ve been in a bad mental shape these days affecting me to work, it’s better but once the thought comes again I get emotional.
Any advice?
*edit to add more details: got truck at 43k miles was a prior rental, ever owned a ram so anxiety can also be from thinking the truck is going to fail me, today I dropped my son off at school and left truck on in park with parking break on and when I tried to put to drive it locked and I turned it off and back on and back to normal so things like that make me even more anxious. Little clunks here and there which may be normal for a half ton truck. Truck was on their lot since October of 2025 so scares me
