i've had my SD since 03.......it's a 2000........i plan on running it till it's DED!! it's payed for, and the minor maintenance that will have to be done to it over the years will be worth it!! i have a 92 Z71 that i plan on doing the same thing!.........and i have a 79 chevy race truck.........
when the SD get's old enough, it just might be a racer too, hahahaha!

I tend to get bored with my trucks quickly and want something different or start to upgrade it. I am only 18, but have had a ton of cars and trucks. Here are the trucks:
1996 F150: 7 months
1995 Ranger beater: 4 months
1993 Chevy 1500: 6 months
1987 Dodge Ram: 1.5 months because it was nothing, but problems.
With my F250 I think I will kepp it until either it dies or I do. I love this truck.

Kept each of my previous trucks for 8 years, but each of them was 8+ years old when *I* bought it. The first had 180K on it when sold, the second had 250K when sold.

My 01 has 253,500 miles, it's my daily driver. It will soon be 6 Years old. Sense I don't think I would be able to get $20,000 for it, I will be keeping it until it I cannot make it move any more!!

I've had my 99 since new. Still runs and looks like new with 180000 on her. Gonna keep her around for a long time. My father bought his F-150 in 1979. It's rough but he still drives it. Fords just seem to last a long time in our family.

I've got a 6/60 bumper to bumper so I'll be keeping it for ~5 years at the rate I've been driving it. By then the 6.4s will be well tested and depending on my needs I'll either trade up or if there is a diesel F150 I may give it a shot as I haven't really used the truck to its capacity since the move. For now I'm just driving and loving it.

I went with 8 years but 7 may be more of a reality. Heck I only put on a measly 6-7k miles per year so by the time I'm ready for a new one its more of a want then a need. I get a little bored with mine after about 4-5 years but I figure at that point I don't owe anything and I might as well drive it a few more years being mileage is always well below 100k, what the Heck. I tend to end up at the dealship at least once a year pricing out new ones though, they just haven't changed enough for me to feel outdated yet, the 08's may change my attitude though, lol.
My road cars on the other hand (02' taurus and 00' lumina) will be driven untill there dead, somewhere well beyond 200k miles or untill they cost me more to keep up then there worth! right now the luminas at 145k and the taurus is only at 55k so I've got a few years left on both!
