Made a mistake

Bought a 2015 Tundra Platinum with 186k miles. I was meant with the looks, sound, feel. I spent $20k on it which I realize is now overpaying. Also, realizing the 11mpg is not nearly as “no biggie” as I anticipated. It’s also lifted with big tires and it’s a bear to drive around. My wife doesn’t like driving it.

I feel stuck. Trade in values are 17,500-18,500. I can’t stomach a big loss (after factoring taxes paid).

I wish I’d gone with a newer 2.7 F-150 or possibly Tacoma. How do you deal with this?

Bought this 2015 Platinum today. The sole owner is also the owner of the Lexus/Toyota specialty mechanic shop in town. 180k miles with pages of service (diffs every 20k, 5k oil intervals, trans fluid, spark plugs, water pump, starter, new shocks, reseal timing cover, etc). Market here is a little wacky but I still think I got a decent deal. May have paid a premium for all the service but I prefer that over having to do a bunch of work.
