Fordman1979!

I'll have had my truck for 7 years this September, and plan to keep it for another 12 years so I can pass it down to my oldest son. My truck has a mere 58,000 miles on it currently, which shows I don't drive it much. I take extremely good care of it so it'll be ready for my son when he's ready. Once he gets my old truck, I will buy myself a new Raptor, if they still make them by that time. Anyone else plan on passing their truck down?

My 1977 was passed down to me. It only has 55k miles.

Hell no!!!!! If you saw the condition my kid can get a vehicle into, you wouldn't either. She sure wasn't raised that way. She can take a 2 year old car and make it look like a 20 year old one with no rust, in a matter of months. Somehow a vehicle is something to sit/lay all over, used as shelving, etc.
She does keep it mechanically safe and sound.

Guilty, - she grew up with the truck (for the last almost 20 years) and has a use for it. It will get driven.

Mine already has his own F150, a 2014 5.0 so no, I'll keep mine probably until too old to drive.

Doubtful ill pass my truck on, but... I have passed on the importance of taking pride in your vehicles to my sons, no matter the year or make.
Take care of your ride and your ride will take care of you.

I see little today worth passing down. Some of the vehicles from the 60s and 70s are certainly of interest, but these vehicles aren't to me. I also never wanted my kids so focused on getting something handed to them, even if the value of the vehicle is low. Didn't want any "I'm entitled to a vehicle". My oldest was allowed to drive the minivan, but there was no "extra" vehicle. When he graduated college, we gifted him our Explorer that was around 10 years old at the time. He kept it for a few years and then bought a new vehicle, and we took the Explorer back and gave him a the average of KBB and Edmunds for it. Before the younger son graduated college, since we were now local to him, he was allowed to use his grandfather's Grand Marquis (a '99), and that was gifted to him when he graduated. When he was set to move away, he made no effort to sell it. So I sold it, and gave him part of the money since I did all the work.

There is a chance my daughter will get my truck, but I don't expect her to want it. My wife and I both have 2017 vehicles. My daughter is 11, so she will be 16 when we are ready to replace our SUV & truck. At that time, depending on how mature she acts and whether there is any interest on her part....we might let her choose which she would prefer to drive. My wife has a smaller Lincoln SUV, so that will probably be easier to drive than my 4x4 supercrew w/6.5' bed. Plus, my wife only drives an average of 6000 miles a year, so her vehicle will have under 40K miles....where my truck should have well over 120K miles. Both are meticulously maintained and garage kept, so they should be much more reliable than some random used car. My son is 4 years younger, so he may get the next round of hand me downs. We'll see how it goes, it's not something we are really thinking about very much right now.

I bought my first vehicle just as my son did and my father before me. They won't appreciate it if it's just given to them, when they have to work for it is when they do.

I don't think I'd curse my daughter with a 5.4. I love her too much
