Default How long have you had your truck?

I can't believe I've had mine for 8 years now. I know there are several mileage threads, but just wondering how long some of you have owned your trucks. 8 years for me and 106,000 trouble free miles.

Bought mine pre-owned in May 2011 at 78k miles. Currently sits at 121k. Minimal wear and tear. Spent more time modding than repairing. Just brakes, fuel module, fuel sending unit, alternator, and a wheel bearing. I did Moog ball joints just because I had one loosening up, now its good and serviceable.

I've had mine for 4 1/2 years and am the 3rd owner. Had to replace the IWEs and solenoid for the 4x4 right after I bought it. Just passed 100K miles, and no other issues.

Previous truck was exactly 18 years in my care when a texting driver ran head-on into me/it and destroyed it. I'd still be driving that one if the wreck hadn't taken it out.

Bought mine June 2007 with 38,000 miles. Was a well taken care if rental truck. Today I'm almost reaching the 200,000 mile mark. Other than your normal ball joints, brakes, tires, fluid changes etc........... I have had no major repairs done on the truck. I bought it with the intentions of driving her till she quits and it still starts up strong like on day one!

I've had mine since October of 2010. So, going to be four years later this year of (almost) trouble free use and enjoyment. I've had some minor issues such as with Sync, transmission (first car or truck with 6-speed auto), and that. I have around 18090 miles on my '11, with most of those miles from in-city driving.

Bought mine new December of '08. Aside from minimal maintenance, it's been 196,000 glorious miles.

Bought mine 3 years ago with 78K miles on it. Now I'm sitting at 110K, other than preventaive maintenance (spark plugs, rear diff fluid, transfer cas fluid, coolant flush, transmission flush) I replaced the FMSU, resistor for heater, rear windor switch and Fuel pump.

Truck is pretty reliable and drives smooth like new. Does everything I have asked it to do, hauling, towing, 4xing..
