I bought Vlad the Glad Sunday here in Orlando.

OK - lot's of assumptions. 62 yo car dude - bought or leased 2 new vehicles every 3 years since 1988 (sometimes more, ie: lemon law) - sorry, math. Only lease the "flagship" vehicles but purchase all else. I many times sell my vehicles to F & F and those in the know - my recent 22 Ram 1500 Limited with 6K went to my BiL for example. Abuse, imo is cold oil and high revs/loads - think BMW S54 spun rods bearings. Lastly, pure experience of being a car guy and no other agenda or doom. Cheers.

And every vehicle is a guess on its longevity. Enjoy it however you want to. I've run high revs with Banks and my engine doesn't like that. But I have greatly enjoyed the Gladiator, even if it is now in the shop.
