I average 10-15 years per new vehicle, but for the Tacoma, until the frame rusts out

I kept my 2005 gen2 with 67,000 miles. If this 2016 proves to be as reliable and dependable as my 05 at least 10+ years I will keep it

Seems sarcastic remarks for some threads in the norm.
Sorry if I added to the list of off remarks.

imo,most buy a vehicle thinking they will keep it X years. Some like new vehicles sooner than later. Some keep vehicles for many years. How long someone keeps a vehicle depends on how dependable the vehicle is, financial situation, etc.

When I was younger I got rid of vehicles every 3-4 years and financed them. As I got older I paid off the vehicle, kept it long enough to make payments to myself. Now I pay cash for a new vehicle or 1 or 2 payments if financing gets a lower price for me. Bottom line I save so I can pay cash when I am ready. It makes little sense to me to pay interest on a depreciating asset.

So when I get a 2016 this year, I expect to keep it 8-10 years. That is if no major issues with the truck pops up.

I hope I grow up to be more like this

I bought mine with my daughter who is a Sophomore in H.S. in mind. I will be keeping this truck for 2 years and plan to give my daughter the truck her senior year as she gets ready to leave for college. This is my first Taco and I really do love it. I'll probably end up buying another one for myself in 3-4 years. I still have my 2002 Ford F150 Fx4 with 190k miles....hoping it lasts another 3-4 years as well.
