How long do you keep your truck?
Seems to me most people around this site think that 100,000 miles and 10 years is an old truck. Just wanted to get a feel if that is correct or not? I'll start. First truck I owned was a 196...

I never buy new, I buy them when you guys think they are too old.
I have four 7.3 Powerstrokes and just fix the little things that people are afraid to touch....

I'm with jasult. I buy all my cars, RV's and toads that way. Buy them 'right', use them. And when I am done with them I sell all of them for MORE than I paid for them. Most of the ones I buy don't even need work. Yup, which means I drive my vehicles for free!
I USED to buy a new truck every other year. Paid cash.
Now, I refuse to pay $68,000 for a vehicle, that is just ludicrous. IMHO there is not a truck on the road worth that much money. And of course buying new you NEVER get back what you paid for it.
I most certainly can afford to pay cash for one but what a waste to tie up that much money in a truck. :R
I can invest that money and get it back three fold.
If I really like the truck I have, and I always keep them in mint condition so they always brand look new no matter what year they are.... if the motor goes I just drop in another box motor.
Couple of days in the shop and a couple thousand out of my pocket and I am back on the road with a truck that looks like new and will go another 100,000 or more.
