How long do you plan to keep this truck?

[Art LeDoux]

Well, for the foreseeable future. I'm getting to be an old guy so much depends on how long I can keep enjoying it and doing what I love, exploring the high desert.

If I still have it when the bumper to bumper warranty is close to ending I will probably look into buying an extended factory warranty from one of the on-line sellers.

As far as mods I wanted to keep it simple and reliable. Rubi take-off wheels/tires and a Mopar lift. I also did Overland running boards to make it easier for the wife, a spray-in bedliner and a Fabtech short rack.

I like this truck and hope to have it for some years.

That's great! Hopefully in the near future We can be out there too!

Till Valhalla... Even at that, perhaps the Valkyries will choose to get me there by using my JT.

I tend to keep my vehicles for quite a while so I'll likely have my JT for some years. If It's any indication, I still have have my 97 GMC Sierra that I purchased new.

I’ve bought 64 new vehicles in the past twenty years. I got my new Mojave last week. At my rate, I may keep it until the end of October. Lol

Forever…

Now that we have had our second child, the wife and I will be getting new vehicles in about 16 years, and the kids can argue over who gets the JT and who gets the JLU. If they are still available at that time I will get a new JT and that will likely last me forever.

Welp, I kept my G35 for 6 years, my Xterra for four years and I had a Commander which was too much of a gas hog for about 9 months. I'm averaging quite some time with vehicles.

That being said, this is the most expensive purchase I am making to date, hopefully a house will supersede that in the next 9-10 months.

I would love to keep the Jeep for the next 10-12ish years.... but that leaves to be seen with how 'dependable' the eco-diesel really becomes with age and use.

If this Jeep takes care of me, I will keep it for a while. I am truly enjoying it, look forward to drive it, and get a lot of satisfaction owning it. I will take care of it and I hope it does so in return. This is a keeper.

I plan on keeping mine at least until the next insurrection.

8 years, 4 months, 28 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes, and 59 seconds.

 

[Narpet]

I tend to keep my Jeeps a long time. I plan on keeping this one, maybe "forever". I really love it. My wife and I enjoy wheeling in it, and it suits my needs. Can't see getting rid of it.

 

[trailless]

Probably 6-7 years. After that I'll probably be looking into an electric truck.

However long it takes me to get to 200,000 if nothing major happens before that. At 200,000 I’ve gotten the life I wanted out of it and it can go on to make some kid getting just getting their license happy and probably teach them some responsibilities on a high mileage vehicle. Or unless someone offers me a crazy amount over what I paid for it. for it in the meantime. Hense why I sold a 1 year old 4R with only 27k on it. But to me vehicles are tools and like any good tool they can be upgraded easily.

Until I get bored with it, usually about 5 years, but I have had my JKU since 07. Still not bored with that one.

The 2005 Tundra had 274,00 when I sold it and the RAM had 132,000 when I sold it for the Gladiator. Both of those vehicles were maintenance free for all those miles and had 0-rust even though they lived here in PA. Only time will tell for the JT, but if it’s good to me, I’ll be good to it. It will sleep nightly in the garage, get washed as needed, oil/filter every 2500-3000 miles and serviced as necessary. The rockers, frame and doors will be coated with FluidFilm annually. I have an undercarriage pressure washer attachment that I use on our cars all winter long to wash off the salt/brine on the underside and suspension pieces. It really helps! Since this is the first new vehicle that I’ve bought since 1988, I have high hopes.

Time will tell…………………..
