how high a pickup mileage before you trade in?

[Bigshooter]

I like to spread out mileage,  I have 12 vehicles 7 of them have over 100k miles.  They quit adding up miles very fast but staying up on maintenance gets to be a nightmare.

This sounds just like a buddy of mine.

i have 250,000 miles on my toyota tundra and wouldn't think about sell it if someone offered me what I paid for it, even after putting 50,000 miles on it.

With the price of vehicles now days, why would anyone get rid of a rig till it was unreliable.  It was like a 10,000 pound weight being lifted off my chest when I finally paid off my 06 dodge....almost $500 a month back in my pocket.  I will drive that truck till the frame rots away and the darn thing falls in half.

My last one had 170,000 when a gal ran a light.
I drive them till they die.
I think I am now driving the last truck I will ever own.

Heck a Toyota is barely broken in at 100K.  I put 280K on my first one before i sold for 4K and 300K on my second before I traded in and got 4K for it.  Have 108K on my 3rd Toyota, needless to say Im a big fan!

I'm at 195k on my '02 Silverado. My wife's Jeep just broke 100k. We haven't made a car payment in 7 years. I'll be excited for a new rig a year or so from now but not looking forward to a payment. Trying to make a payment a month to myself right now to prepare for it.

Last truck hit 200,000

Bought a cheap commuter that's getting me 33 mpg for the past year.

Getting ready to bite the bullet and get a new truck, not looking forward to the payment.

I've got 5 vehicles, and only 1 has less than 180k

230k on my 1st chev luv diesel, 220 on my second, 299k on my 92 chev S10, shouldn't have sold it still see it driving around. My current Dodge 2001 2500 cummins 69k I'll be driving her for a long time my Toyota 94 pickup 124k.

I get antsy and just get to the point where I want a new one.  I like new toys.  I buy a new car every three years.  Just like new rigs.

[runamuk]

what novel idea...I buy mine usually around 150,000 if I am lucky drive em until they blowup

[washelkhunter]

Looking forward to downsizing to a midsize compact diesel truck in a year or two but will keep my old rig for a hauler till it dies.

[swanny]

I just realised the other day that I've put 100k on my 2002 Silverado since I purchased it 7 years go. I'm hoping for another 100k at least before replacing it. It's been an amazing truck, only thing I've done is a new starter and fuel pump aside from general service. Looking at even used trucks for the price vs. mileage on them scares me.

[TheHunt]

I look at the history of the car.  If the rig has had problems and it is registered on Edmonds or other places I use that data points as to when to sell.   I take care of my rigs so I typically sell around or over 200K. 

[benhuntin]

Just bought a new car and for $3500 I put a 1,000,000 mile factory bumper to bumper warranty on it. I figured we will drive this one for ever. Hope it works out but this is a first for me. By the way it's a Dodge.
