1996 F-150 My truck to use and abuse.
2001 Explorer. We needed something to haul a Rottie, cat, kid, the DW, me, clothes, and any momentos we want when we evacuate for hurricanes.
No problems with either truck and both have been paid for for a couple years.

I drive a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. Does the job but plan to buy a 2007 vehicle next summer. I have $2,500 credit from my GM card so will pick a GM of some kind. Not sure what.

2005 GMC pickup
2002 Dodge Durango
Paid cash, these replaced our previous vehicles that we had owned for 16 and 17 years. We don't have to commute to work anymore, so I hope these last even longer.

Basic maintenance on a Subaru Legacy is an intricacy.
I've never seen an engine designed with six-inch extenders on the plug wires to cap the spark plugs... and when you remove the wires, you can't even SEE the plugs.
If you disconnect an air hose from the air cleaner, the engine won't stay running...

2001 Durango
1978 International Scout II
DH could not part with the Scout so we actually shipped it over here to Hawaii when we PCS'd a few months ago. It fits right in here and we get lots of complimentary remarks. It is quite a gas hog, so luckily commute from base house to air strip is only about 2 miles.
