Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many years have you kept a car or truck?

I bought a 1979 Ford F-150 4WD pickup and kept it through 3 motors, 300 CI 6's, until around 2005 or thereabouts. It had sat for the last 5 or more years. I treated it pretty rough after the new wore off, using it on the farm.

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4WD that I used on my rural mail route until I got a right hand drive Jeep Cherokee. The Ranger has 196,000 miles on it, and I still drive it pretty regular, using it as my hunting truck and on the farm. I had to replace the transmission at about 130,000, but the 4.0 engine is still a good one.
