I wish vehicles were still BIFL…
Vehicles have mostly improved in reliability over the years and the average age of vehicles on the road has never been higher. A Toyota Tacoma will last forever if taken care of.

Me with the Golden Taco the day I bought it vs 4 years later... Still ticking with 530,000 miles!
I am not a truck kind of guy, but if I buy one the Tacoma is the only truck I would buy. I hate Toyotas for the most part but their formula just makes perfect sense for a truck.

In an age of things designed to be replaced, what currently-produced 1) trucks, and 2) cars come closest to BIFL?
I have a 2012 Tacoma and over the past year it’s increased in value. Carvana keeps on sending me offers for it, and every time the number goes up. It’s a great truck, but there are a few downsides to be aware of. Gas mileage is not great, it is manual everything. Including crank windows. It also does not have any modern safety features.

Historically, Toyota Tacoma, but this is not the best time to buy a new one, as they just introduced a new generation and are still working out some issues with it. If you are willing to buy a lower milage (<120k miles) previous generation one, it will likely last for decades, as long as you take care of it.

i've owned a 1990 Volvo 240 wagon, a 2001 Avalon, 2005 Tacoma and a 2014 Camry hybrid. still have the Tacoma. put big miles on all of them and none ever let me down. i've been very lucky with cars.

My 06 Tacoma cracked 250,000 miles yesterday. Still purrs and gets better gas mileage than ever, and the guys at the shop love having me bring it in for whatever minor thing is going on, they always comment haw it’s in great shape and should just keep on going! Best thing I did was “downgrade” from my 00 Tundra. Doubled my gas mileage, got limited slip differential, it did cost in comfort, bed space and towing capacity though. All life is a compromise.

Realistically, we're in a period where technology being added, and replaced with new and "better" versions are coming at a very high rate. Even Toyota, often praised for long life is having issues with there new lineup. Cars just have a lot more "Stuff" on them now, safety, accessibility, creature comfort, "brains." And even if all of that is well made (which can be a big if in itself) there is just a lot more of it. A 95 Tacoma has a lot less things that \*could\* break than a 25 Tacoma does, and there are more of those "things" on the 25 that are critical to the vehicle. My general rule of thumb (and I've been a car dealer for 30 years) for a newer personal vehicle (often my wifes) that we intend to keep long term (10'ish years generally) is to buy something that isn't on it's first year revision... something relatively simple (not a tesla or a truck with a 20" ipad in the dash) something that shares a decent number of parts with other vehicles (so that in 4 years you aren't going to be looking for part that has been discontinued and was only produced for 6 months for this one specific model) and maybe most importantly for me... something with a following. So Wranglers, Tacomas, etc... a vehicle with a fanbase of Youtube Mechanics, so that when something does (and it will) fail it's likely somebody has already had to deal with it and has posted the hurdles and tricks they found to fix it. At auto dealer auction the vehicle I see most commonly with over 300k miles is a prius. Ymmv
