Only you can answer the question if you should swap. SLT's come stock with 17's single exhaust and no fog lights. I like mine that way, but if you're a guy that is going to want duals, 20's and fog lights then you might want to look around a bit.

Why would you consider swapping a truck with 63K miles for one with 100K miles anyways? At least on yours you know how the maint was done (I assume)

am thinking to swap coz its newer truck more power nice interior more comfort , i dont really care about rear dual but i was surprised coz all 2010 i saw with dual not single and with 20 inch rims , i asked for advice coz the 100k miles made me think twice n i want to know what is all the difference between my 06 and the new one

You already covered most of the differences.
2010 has more power and a nicer interior
2010 has a softer riding rear suspension

The 100K miles may or may not be an issue - no reason these trucks can't run for 300K if they have been cared for. Problem with buying a 2 year old truck with 100K miles on it is that you don't really know how it was maintained.

yes thats what make me worry , the showroom manager said he ll give me the car fax and says its clean truck in good condition with no recalls and only one owner , well from inside its really looks very new even the steering wheel so am confused , i saw a lot of 2010 trucks n when first look at steering wheel i notice its used a lot, so am really confused how its done 100k miles in two years !!

New steering wheel could indicate the airbag went off.

Check the car fax, I'm not sure if there is any way to request all dealer service records but they may show repairs not claimed through insurance.

Is this a straight swap or a trade with purchase?

i checked car fax nothing on it only service and one owner till it sold, and also i went to dealer and checked last maintenance in the US was October 2011 it was done 91k miles one recall was for the steering rods. its trade with purchase so i have to pay around 10,000 us dollars on top of mine ( trucks are very expensive in my country )

Well the 2010 is at least tune able, so if you like to mod your ride, go for it.
