How long do you keep your tacoma?

imma drive mine untill i decide to make a rock crawler outta it

 

My plan when I bought this truck is that this will be the last personal vehicle for me. My last car was a 1984 Volvo 245, I tweaked the suspension with springs, sway-bars and tower braces, I added Volvo GT factory gauges, tach, oil pressure, amps and fuel economy gauge (vacuum gauge), car handled like a go-cart on steroids. I had 265,000 miles on the original motor and transmission, I gave it to a friend of the family, still running like a Swedish watch. My plan for the truck is the same. I'm 53 years old, if I can get the same out of my taco that I did my brick, this is it, I'm done. Now my wife's car, I will replace every seven years or so, Just makes me feel a little better knowing she is in a newer lower mileage car. Right now she has a 05 Camry V6 SE, this thing will lay rubber for a block.

 

Until it won't drive anymore, and because its a Toyota, that should be atleast 4-5 hundred thousand km from now. If not more.

 

I'm gonna keep my 2008 until TOYOTA BUYS IT BACK.

They already tried to buy my other truck back...

 

hey dude u should do a build thread of that 84 hilux
or at least put up sum pics of it

 

My wife has a Land Cruiser with 109,000 and still going fine....I was gonna replace it but she said no, so I got my Tacoma....had my last F-250 for 8 years

 

Im goin to keep mine forever, When its paid off its goin to be 100% trail rig

 

what they said..

 

My last car ( 98 accord manual transmission), I was the original owner & sold it at 220,000 miles with original everything including clutch.. I plan on keeping my Tacoma for as long as it runs

 

5 years or so.
Probably only have about 40K miles on her.
I usually get tired of the same vehicle.
Though,I may keep the Tacoma longer.It depends on the next generation look and options.

 

Damn!!!! I am just now approaching 56k on my 05.

 

my 96 had close to 200,000 when i had to get rid of it becuase of the frame recall but it still ran like a champ. my uncle has a 91 with just over 300,000 and he still drives it everyday, never did any engine work to it.

 

imma drive mine untill its unreconizable that it is a tacoma and then some

 

May of posted here before, but to lazy to read back through. Got the down in the dumps now, mines been paid off for awhile, and thinking about letting her go.
got that "ready for a change" feeling.

 

think I am gonna need some more slaps across the back of the head. Wife is already about to flip.

 

I never did post how long I was going to try and keep my Tacoma. I am hoping to keep her until 200k miles. That should put me at about 15 years of ownership. Only time will tell. I do live in a state with nasty weather and roads in the winter time. If I do keep until 200k it would be a first I usually get a new vehicle every 3 years or so. I am 31 and on my 7th vehicle.
