Depends after the a few years may trade it for a newer model

I was in the same boat, my dad had Toyota trucks since I was born. I really wanted an FJ Cruiser Trail Teams and when I started looking in early 2019 the prices were absurd for a manual with decent miles. We're talking $30-35k for a 5-7 year old vehicle. I thought I'd do the practical thing and just buy a new Tacoma for $37k. Like I said I like it but don't love it, the manual and V6 aren't that fun and I don't use the bed nearly as much as I should. Good thing is it holds its value like no other and will continue to be my daily until I decide I'm ready to pounce on a Bronco..I had wanted a Tacoma for as long as I can remember, and finally bought a new 2017 in late 2016. I kept it 4 years, and said I'd never let it go. And then Ford did the unthinkable by dropping a Bronco that is a legitimate 4x4 instead of just the crossover minivan POS I expected like the Blazer.
I get the need for that as well, so I'm happy to see the Bronco Sport as well, but I'd never let my Tacoma go for that. So in the meantime, I'm driving old clapped out junk, hoping to keep it running until I can actually lay hands on my new Bronco, because the Taco has been gone for a few months now...
No vehicle (driving under normal conditions) needs oil changes every 3000 miles anymore. 7500 to 10K is just fine.I very much intend to keep this vehicle for 300K miles, granted it lasts that long. I’m the type to change the oil every 3k miles religiously. I’ve had a 2016 BMW 4 series coupe for 82,000 miles with zero issues, only regular maintenance. I hope to be the guy in 2065 with that mint high mileage Bronco. Curious to see how much time others intend to keep theirs. Cheers!

This seems true which is part of ingenuity and progress in manufacturing.No vehicle (driving under normal conditions) needs oil changes every 3000 miles anymore. 7500 to 10K is just fine.
I agree, use good oil. If every 3000 miles is good, every 1000 has to be better...No vehicle (driving under normal conditions) needs oil changes every 3000 miles anymore. 7500 to 10K is just fine.
this is the Achilles heel of the Fords I've owned.Anyone know what the expected life of the computer components are? Seems like that would be the limiting factor in eventually having to send it to the boneyard.
Until I die, which at my age might be three years or 20I very much intend to keep this vehicle for 300K miles, granted it lasts that long. I’m the type to change the oil every 3k miles religiously.
