The way I look at it is, if I take care of it, it will take care of me..... I could afford a new one, but at the price they want, its a very bad way to spend that much money..... thats foolishness... especially in todays economic house of cards. ...

I have a 78 Chev 3/4 ton with I don't know how many miles, a 94 Silverado with 324 K, wife has a 2005 Tahoe with 178K that is going to last as long as she is driving. The 99-2006 Tahoe, Yukon, Silverado, Suburban & Sierra with the LS engines seem to run forever. I have a relative who bought a 2002 Suburban new, You may not believe it but it has over 700K & is still running. Years ago I convinced him it costs less to keep his vehicles serviced than to buy a new one every 100K, he believes me now.

I own a 2018 F-150 STX pickup. Paid the loan off and plan to drive the good running truck for years and years.

I have an 02 yukon with 170k miles... my son currently drives it... I've had it since brand new, and it still runs like new... I easily see it going another 170k...
