Cars owners keep the longest

Stumbled upon this the other day. Tundra ranked 5th among all cars and 2nd among trucks kept 15 years or longer in a study of >600,000 vehicles from 1981-2005.

aaaand, Asian markets, pretty much dominate the surveys... I've owned 1 car 18 years, The Tundra is creeping up here...

 

It s sad how that works, but this is the norm now a days. IMO surveys are synonomous to fake news.

 

100% Agree...

 

Interesting survey, but not sure how it relates to fake news.
Are you implying that its not accurate, or somehow skewed to favor Asian car makers?
I can't see how its not believable, as Japanese cars have been superior to domestic cars since, well forever.

 

To tell you the truth I didn t even read the website. I was replying to the word survey made by previous poster. iseecarsdotcom made a study which is not the same thing. They both use data which is gathered, analysed, and colated, but the inherent nature of surveys are it s own demise. The sampling of opinions from just a part of a whole to come to a conclusion is just fake imo. A generated opinion to manipulate opinions.

 

Survey says!

Its true! Owner of 2002 Tundra since new with 175k miles. Never broke down on me or left me stranded ever.

 

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

 

Proud owner of a 2002 Tundra since 2003.
This awesome truck is a keeper.

 

I do believe the Land Cruiser is #1.

 

Actually the first Japanese cars sold here were junk. IE>>>> the 60's Corona.

 

My bought-new-from-the-dealer 1997 Toyota T100 truck is still my daily driver after.......what is it? Oh. Yea. 24 years!!!!

 

I had a 70 s sr5 pickup with a r22 4 banger that just ran and ran and ran. I finally rolled it one day. The tow truck driver broke the tie rod when he rolled it back upright, and I ended up selling it.

 

I've had my Tundra 13 years now and I don't plan to let it go, no reason to.

 

Wow. Interesting the Tundra was kept the longest in my area.

What I don’t get is that the first 10 years I didn’t run into 1st gen tundras much at all. 20 years later people are driving them everywhere....wher are they coming from anyway?

 

lol...yes....its such a statistical aberration they didn't even bother with this...

I read the article and was like...ummm...did you guys cover the land cruiser?

 

That's pretty epic considering that the Tundra wasn't released until the summer of '99.
