I do like my truck. I wish I had a garage space for it. Did have one, until I got my stars and stripes mastercraft ski boat a year ago. That was a bucket list item so it gets the garage lol. Now the truck is outside at night and on weekends, and inside while the wife is at work (I work from home). Anyways, I plan to keep it as long as it keeps running, and take good care of it. And after that I'll get a suburban. Would like an NNBS when the time comes.

My dad bought it used in 2000 with 18k and gave it to me when i turned 16 in 2007. It had 170k some then. Put a motor in at 217k, and now it has 256k. I love this truck, and I hope I will always be able to keep it. I want to make it a trail rig for my son to have fun with someday.

I bought my truck a year ago October 25th, I bought her as a flip truck, no plans to keep it. My f150 broke down 2 days later and I had no car. Started driving the truck and fell in love with her. Started moding and here we are today. 155,000 miles on it. Favorte vehicle I have ever owned. Her name is Big Bertha and shes here to stay! The pictures are from the night I got her to now.

I just picked my hoe-bag up sept 23 and so far I like the look, ride, and feel of her. I intend to keep her for a long time, along with throwing money at her while she laughs at me with an evil grin. She is a retired police pursuit Tahoe that is in good shape. but there are always mods that will show themselves every payday. I hope to go on long drives with her to Disneyland (from sf) and to pass her on to my offspring, and so on and so forth...

I don't have a formal name for her, but I had a black on black bmw 545i I named killer whale...for this Tahoe (being Olympic white w/ no exterior plastic trim) I shall dub, the ***** Whale.

Aloha

I'm gonna keep rolling until duct tape can't hold it together anymore. I bought my Tahoe Limited new Jan 2000 with 20 miles on her. She now sits at 242K miles and counting. Just recently repainted, new hood, wheels, new carpet, 3 stage sunroof, and sound system. She now rides and looks like a new truck.

Mine will be my daily beat until it falls completely apart. I love my 1999, blown shocks and all.

Bought mine new in 1996, it's been so dependable even with all the mods only 115000 miles on it today garaged stored and babied. Recently been thinking of selling it because don't need two performance vehicles looking at 2010 ZO6 vette and already have 3 cars. So no room but so hard to let it go, put so much work and pride into the yukon and besides won't get shit for it compared to whats in it, maybe it's a keeper?

I really don't consider an SUV as a performance vehicle, with that said, I plan to keep mine as long as I can to afford to put gas in it. and if things keep going the way they are, it will remain at my side for a very long time.
