Anyone else plan on keeping their current Rig long term?

[CountryTremor]

2020 Tremor - delivered October 2020. I love my Tremor! Not a daily driver - primarily used for pulling a 35' Winnebago. I plan on keeping this vehicle until the doors fall off! Pulled it out of the garage today to get it ready for a road trip. We live in UPSTATE so we see 6-7 months of winter each year. Love this forum (although like many others on this site - it has cost me a ton of money by following).

My truck rolled by 13k mikes today on the way to work figure I got at least another 287K before I need to start looking for a new truck. I gonna drive it till the doors fall off...by then I should be half way decent at MIG welding so I will just weld them back on.

Nice looking truck!

I order with the intent to keep long term but my reality is that I likely wont keep my main truck long term. I drive a lot and I am not up for the out of warranty maintenance costs & hassle for the 6.7 (and drive too much for the 7.3 fuel mileage). I have 40,000 miles on my 2021 and have only had it 10 months.

I already have a 2022 ordered.

Also from Upstate NY; on the west side of the state.

You better put your order in if you only have 287,000 miles till you need a new one.

My Tremor will be one year old this Thursday. Talk to me in 2040 about if I plan on keeping it long term.

Baring a catastrophe it will be around then doing one thing or another.

Great looking truck. First time I've seen that color with a diamondback on it.

I plan on keeping mine for a long time as well. I had a 2004 Toyota Tundra that I traded off in 2019 because the frame was rusted out and the gas tank bands had rusted out and dropped the gas tank as I was going across a corn field.

Traded for a 2019 SuperCab F250 and when we ended up with another grandchild determined we needed more room so we sold it to buy a tremor, Crew Cab which should be here any day.

I absolutely intend on keeping the truck long-term. I drive around 10k annually and should get a good 10+ years out of this truck. Who knows, this might be my last gas truck. We'll see what the future holds for towing capability in 2032.

I’d like to think I’ll keep my truck 10+ years, but as someone mentioned on this thread before me, the reality is that I don’t often keep one more than 4-5 years. That said, I would like to keep the Tremor and eventually have something else as my daily driver. Time will tell. This is the first truck I’ve had where I’ve actually purchased several items as “mods” so along that line I’d like to keep the truck and continue enjoying those mods! I don’t drive an absolute ton - probably averaging 1700-1800 miles a month in the Tremor.

I’m going to try and get my moneys worth out of this million mile power train warranty!

I plan to keep my current one long-term. I have a black-on-black lariat ultimate 2021 7.3 liter F-350. I love it. I don't haul with it and it is my DD for oilfield work. I have a 2001 white 7.3 liter PowerStroke crew cab long bed for ranch hauling a 40ft cattle trailer, dump trailer etc. (has 250K miles) and it works perfectly. Then I have a 2019 white F-250 gas crewcab short bed XLT for ranch navel-gazing and just running around buying feed and cubes and such. Going to turn my current Tremor into what will affectionately be called the "Ranch Limo" and get another Tremor in all white once in the market.

 

[MTUcrash]

Planning to keep it as long as the body holds together (I can fix anything else needed in the meantime). Hoping that will be close to 20 years given it is aluminum.

 

[JakePs]

I'm keeping mine, long term. I only put 4000 miles on a year. Jeep and a Mustang get me through the summers.

 

[rublelvr]

I certainly need to keep mine long term due to how much they cost. I am now driving a Honda CRV as DD so hopefully the Tremor will last many years.

My exact thoughts. It’s my daily driver for now, and I love it. Have done a lot of mods, so I plan on keeping it indefinitely. But will probably get something different in a few years in addition to the tremor, but can’t see myself getting rid of it. Love it and put too much into it to get rid of it!

For me, there's nothing desirable about driving a vehicle "until the doors fall off." I like having a newer, dependable vehicles that are free of rust, rattles, and I could jump in tomorrow and drive to Alaska with no worries.

I'll drive mine until 100K so or it starts needing more maintenance than I want to deal with then I'll sell it and buy another one. With all the electronics and emissions on this truck, I have my doubts about it going much more than that. My 15 F350 severed our relationship with a leaky oil pan gasket that cost me $3500 to have replaced followed by a second $1500 DEF heater (the first one was warranty at 50K). Once that crap starts, bye bye.

My last two trucks (06 Duramax and 15 F350) have sold for 80-90% what I paid for them after 6-8 years / 120K miles, so hopefully that trend continues. It makes it really easy to get rid of them with those kind of selling prices.

 

[StrikezoneNJ]

Also upstate NY in the house, I keep my trucks 8 years or 200k miles, whichever comes first. My 2014 F150 still looks and drives like new

 

[Modman]

My brother in law's 1999 F250 (7.3 as well, but diesel not gas...) still looks and runs good. My plan was to keep this one that long as well. Like @knaffie stated, if I start having problems then I will move on. Years of ownership are a result of a good, maintenance free experience, not a goal in and off itself...

I definitely plan to keep this beast for a bit. I buy what I want but I also tend to keep my vehicles for about 10 years.

BTW, damn nice-looking rig @CountryTremor

 

[Suncoast]

My 2020 has 37k on it in the last 18 months. I pick up my 2022 next week. I plan on replacing trucks every 2-3 years as long as the values stay high. When the values drop I’ll keep the truck until the wheels fall off.

 

[Cglenn]

I guess I am I. The keep it till the wheels fall off. So in this case I better go ahead and order another at the rate Ford is building them so the new one will arrive when the 2022 has about 300k on the clock. Gotta laugh to keep from crying
