Pondering this thought process....(owning a Tundra)

How many folks have you heard justify a Tundra purchase by saying: "it's a Toyota, it will run forever!" and/or "Gonna run this thing until the wheels fall off, it's a Toyota!"

2-3 years later...(sometimes less)

Trading that same truck in on something else....

"Damn, this Diesel is built like a tank, it'll run to 500k no problem!"

2-3 years later, negotiating a trade in....

LMAO

 

My wife's Envoy is 13 years old, we knew it was time to buy another car when it left her stranded twice while I was gone for work. Can't have that...although we still have it as a backup sitting on the property. In that same respect I'll hopefully drive my truck until it starts to become unreliable at which point, it will be time for a change. 10 years is a good measuring stick.

 

I'm with you. Shooting to retire at 50, which is in 8 years. Colorado living bro!

 

Hilarious. My wife's new vehicle is a CRV, hope it lasts 10-15!

 

I’ve had my Tundra for only two years. I love it but I love pickup trucks and can’t help but to look at all the other nice looking trucks on the road. If my wife would allow it I’d probably be in the market for a new one, just bc. We live in a golden age of trucks.

 

For sure. Although the idea of a payment sickens me...and for those who are like "I paid for it outright, no payments" guess what, you still paid for it outright. To each his own though, everyone has diff priorities for sure.

I think that Platinum F450 looks the sickest but there is no way I could justify buying one.

 

well I bought my first tundra in 08... had almost 300k on it when I traded up earlier this year... and this one will be with me for at least 8 years.. so like others I'm a bad example of keeping up with the Jones'

 

I've been using my 2002 Tundra as my work truck for the last 16 years... it's about to hit 165k
