I'm hoping for 250k+ miles or at least 12 years or so as a daily driver, road tripper, and off roader. However if gas becomes ridiculously expensive in the future, I might give it up earlier.

My work/daily driver currently is an 09' VW rabbit (inline5 2.5L) with 229K miles (it's made me a LOT of extra money with work reimbursements at 57c/mile). Outside of routine maintenance and replacing each wheel bearing once and each CV axle twice (and an AC compressor at 150K miles), I've never had any issues with it and it's still running well and hopefully will get me to this time next year when I'll finally get the Bronco. It still has original suspension and is only on it's second battery. If I can keep the drivetrain of a notoriously unreliable VW alive and well for this long, I damn sure hope I can get the same out of the Bronco. Or maybe VW's are reliable and their owners suck, who knows.

Never driven a car longer than 7 years, but Im retiring and have waited for this for a long time. Unless gas goes through the roof, as previously mentioned, 10 plus years for me.

With amount of time spent researching, waiting, complaining, posting, arguing about it with total strangers: anything short of being buried in it seems like a waste. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LOL! This!
Unless it is a complete disaster or unforseen life events, It will be around till its little 2.7 heart gives out.

Hoping to give it to my now 6 year old when he turns 16, so at least 10 years.

That depends how much I like it, how reliable it is and if something more intriguing to me comes along. Longest I have ever owned a vehicle was 7 years ant 98K miles. I typically try to get rid of them while they still have some value left in them.

Until the bronco truck comes out.
If the question was, "When do you plan to buy your next Bronco after you get this one?" this would be the answer for me.

Wife has already planned out our garage for the next 10 years. And two of the three vehicles are going to be Broncos. ?

I’m running it into the ground. Probably won’t be getting mine until 2022, just reserved today, but my current car (WRX) will be a bit more than 3 years old at that point. That was my fun car, this will be my life car.

I will lease as I have done my last several vehicles. Most likely 3 years.
