How Long do you plan on Keeping your Tacoma?

until i graduate and can afford a new one..around then is when ill be paying it off

 

Until it either

1) It no longer meets our needs (towing)
2) Repair costs exceed value

So, hopefully a very long time! So far it has 60k on it already and the only issue being the infuriating blower tick! But, we got the "new" blower motor and so far so good!

 

Same here. I got 12 years out of my last truck (Mazda B-3000), and fully expect to get the same or more out of this one.

forever no reason w/proper care it should last me my lifetime unless i get a bug up my ass & drive out to cali would like to chill w/of of them

 

why?

 

At least 10 years. Possibly longer.

 

I'll sell mine and get a 3rd gen once it's into the 2nd or 3rd year of production.....give them time to work any bugs out.

 

Until it becomes a "Classic". I just bought my '04 Tacoma and it had 119K miles on it. So prolly for until it dies or I do.

 

???? fact. buy back?????

 

Until i get my next one. I like to buy the last production before next generation. They have taking that as far as they can.

 

Frame rust issues.

1 would hope the 3rd genny would be awsome but who knows....i know even w/gas prices im seeing a shitload more jacked up on the shit trks then when i was young

 

O ive had an 87 96 &07 they just keep getting better although my 96 was the sheeeeeeit

 

At least until: it's paid off, AND: I have a reason to need a full back seat, or I really want 4wd.

 

haha ill keep it till the wheels fall off, then fix it and drive it some more

 

...until its paid off and then a couple more years... unless the 3rd gen comes with a manual trans that has a longer sixth gear and shifts more smoothly.

(I still miss my 02 regular cab 2.7 with the 5 speed--best vehicle I've ever owned, even compared to my old 85 4-runner.

 

i’d say 5 to 10+ years. unless i crash it. witch at the rate i’m going will be along time. i have gone 4 years with no wrecks or tickets! if i do wreck i may get an FJ.

edit: i’ll have it 1 YEAR on the 14th of this month.

 

I have had mine for about 4 1/2 years now but will keep it for many more years unless it gets totaled in an accident or starts having freakishly expensive repair bills happen to it on a regular basis. But I only put on the truck about 6k a year in miles so I doubt any of that will happen. The truck is babied and is taken care of very well. When my youngest son who turns 9 next week gets his drivers license, I will probably give him this truck or at the very least let him use it. I will then possibly look at getting myself something else then. Our daughter will also get her license in about 5 more years so she will probably get the wifes car and the wife will get something new then. I'm hoping by then my house should be paid off and new vehicles won't be a lot more expensive than they are right now. My house was only 83k but the prices of vehicles is getting quite ridiculous now! Used cars look better and better each day.

 

Im keeping my 05 until i literally cant drive it any more. Bought it with 43k on it in 2010, now has just over 78k due to military moves, but still runs and looks great, absolutely love my truck

 

A couple years, then I'll probably get a new one. although I had my 89 v6 5sp until 245k miles. So I might keep this one that long too.
