I’ve bought two new trucks in the past 21 years and still drive 98 z71 every day. The 2011 is just getting broke in good. Anyone else drive the wheels off???

I do both.
I have a 2013 Infiniti G37 that I use as a sales car that I will drive until it hits 10 years old and my company makes me get a new one. My wife gets a new car every 4 to 6 years and they have about 40 or 50 thousand miles on them. I keep a 3rd vehicle which is a 2017 F-250 that I use as a hunting truck to drive back and forth hunting. I’ll probably keep it until I see something new I like or the value goes below about 30k.
I know this doesn’t make any sense financially but I like driving nice vehicles and it’s much easier to trade in a truck and get 30k for it drop another 20 k cash down and your financing 25k for 5 years.
I drive a 2001 F350 that I've had since 2003. It currently has 211k miles. I've had several daily drivers over the last 15 years too. A couple of used Mazda Proteges that I put 150k mile on each before scrapping them. Then a VW Jetta TDI that I put 240k miles on before the VW buyback program.
Now I work from home mostly and just have the 2001 F350 for myself.
Wife gets a new to her vehicle as needed - reliability here instead of repairability.
I have kept my last three daily drivers for 10 years each. Bought a Grand Cherokee 4x4 new in 1987 traded it it on a new one in 1998. In 2009 I sold it and bought a Tacoma - I just sold that truck it about a month ago, coincidentally 10 years to the day after buying it. All have had 180-200k miles.
Every 10 years or 250k miles. Whichever comes first. My last 6 have all been a Cheby. Had one Ford back in 1973 and it was done in 50k. Front end totally worn out and rear end howling like a moon dog and 6-8 mpg.
I have a 2012 f150 tha I bought new, it has 100,000 miles on it. Occasionally I overload it going to the deer lease and pulling travel trailers. In a couple of years I'll probably buy a used f350 just for those duties and drive the f150 daily. I only live 1 mile away from work so my vehicles stay low mile.
