2002 Mazda B3000. It had 500 miles when I bought it. I traded it in for my Ram in February. It had 172000 miles on it. I really got my moneys worth.

I owned this 2019 Ford F350 Superduty before I bought my 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. It was a nice truck, and would pull a house without breaking a sweat. Way more towing capacity than I needed, and not enough off road capability though. One thing I did not like about it was the terrible quality of the stereo system. It was perhaps the worst quality sound system I've had in a vehicle in 20 years. The cab also had lots of rattles, and on a washboard dirt road it sounded like it was going to fall apart. Ram is way ahead of Ford when it comes to a quiet rattle free cab.

Was looking at the Ram 1500 back in 2009, but got a great deal on a 2010 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson edition that I couldn't pass up.

I traded it in 2014 and bought my wife her dream car; a 2014 BMW 435Xi M-Sport. I then ended up buying a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Ecodiesel.

I missed having a pickup truck though so in 2016 I bought my current Ram 1500 Sport.

I've been really bad at hanging onto vehicles and have tended to trade them in for the next best thing far too often. I'm going to have to tone it down as I wide down towards retirement I think.

Started off with a 1985 Chevy Caviler Wagon until the head gasket blew.
got a 1989 Pontiac Grand-am from Family. drove until overdrive in transmission failed.
moved to a 1998 Chevy Lumina until the ECU got fried by a short in the wiring.
moved to a new 2004 Ram 1500 ST.
traded ram in for a 2008 Chevy Impala. Drove until transmission failed.
Traded in for a 2014 impala. drove until transmission started to fail.
Traded in 2014 Impala for a 2012 Ram 1500 Bighorn in 2018.

Essentially, I drive most vehicles until they fall apart or something major goes.

while it looks like I trade often, most have had more than 100k miles as my trucks are always the family vacation vehicles and I'm driving out to the lake nearly every weekend.

I had an 06 Duramax. It had 186k miles on it when I sold it. Bought an 06 megacab 1 ton with 86k on it. Like the truck and it's not an apples to apples comparison but after my first long tow this past weekend I missed the power of the Duramax. 5er feels twice as heavy behind this truck compared to the Duramax when taking off or climbing hills. Not really a fair comparison as I had a 100hp tow tune on the Duramax. I won't tune this one until I get the trans built though. Gonna have to do it though.....hated hills and starts with this truck.

2012 Kia Soul. It's actually still parked in my driveway, but the battery is dead, catalytic converter/exhaust manifold are throwing codes and the stickers are out.
I put that little 1.6l through the ringer. I really abused that poor little car [emoji23]

Before I bought my Ram, in 2005 I was driving a black Chevy caveler. I know I know lol. What an upgrade. And I'm still driving the truck today. 300 k+ on truck & about 63 k on remanufactured engine. b3901c43eed75122065e10de84abadb2.jpg
