New truck, how often
#21
When I hit 200K, which is usually 6-ish years. I replaced my '09 with a '16.

If I like it, it will stay until almost dead, if I don't it will get traded soon:
65 step side - 5 years
97 XL - 1 year
98 XLT-owned 18 years
06 FX4-owned 9 years 6 months
15 XLt - owned two years to the date
17 Platinum - too early to tell but I'm thinking its a keeper

Usually 3 to 4 years to avoid stuff starting to rust out around here. Don't like truck payments so I trade it and pay cash on the rest. Might keep this 2017 longer assuming the aluminum panels and rust proofing does it's job.

I drive about 30k miles a year. Traded my '14 in with 35k on the clock and just over a year to get the new body style and panoramic moonroof the '16 has. Trade value was a few grand more than what I owed.
Right now I'm at 45k miles on the '16 and getting a new one hasn't entered my mind. There is nothing about my truck I'd change (major perk to ordering versus buying a truck off the lot). Trade value again is more than what I owe - but can't see trading her in to get essentially the same truck again.
