Is it worth doing?

I drove a 6.7 yesterday and fell in love with it (should have never drove it). Anyway now i am wanting one cause i am sick of shifting...Auto would be nice....

Now the question is, is it worth doing....Here is my situation...

I have an 06 (in the sig) and i am kinda tired of shifting and that new auto/motor i thought was very nice....

I owe 29k on my current truck at 1.9% interest for 60 months and i 45 months left til its mine

....They can get me into that new truck for the same payment as i have now but of course i will be oweing a little bit more and i will have a little bit higher of an interest rate and i would be starting over as far as the term goes......Would it be worth getting the new truck or staying with what i have?

Its kinda hard to let go that 1.9% (thats basically free money)....Just wondering what to do here as i really like that new auto....
