I wouldn't. I will keep mine either until it gets too expensive or too much of a pain to maintain, or until I die. I am 53, so the latter could happen at any time.

I bought mine 10 years ago, with 106k on the clock, for either $9k or $9.9K. Paid it off in 3 years. 195.6k on it now. It is still worth between $4k - $5k (can't beat that value!). I would like to keep it another 10 years. I imagine at that point, it will be completely ragged out and un-driveable.

My goal, when I get some spending money, is to buy a daily driver car, and retire my T4R to only utility usage. I imagine it likely would last me another 10 years, in that role.

I love the vehicle. It has cost me some very major headaches with some weird problems (driveshaft u-joints, apparent blown head gasket, which was really a failed injector, starter contacts, etc.), but I got those solved. She suits my needs very well (hauling a bike, kayak, dogs and camping gear, pulling a trailer, and is unbelievably capable offroad for a 2WD vehicle). And it would cost a fortune to buy another more modern vehicle that could do everything she does.
