Will she out-live me?

Hi Scotty, Nothing is broken - i would just very much appreciate your opinion on my prospects. <grin>

I'm a retired 75 yr old senior in good heath. My 4-wheeled baby is 2014 Yukon Denali now with 120,000 miles on her.  So far all she's required is normal maintenance (brakes, struts, tires, plug wires, etc   

When GM recently issued a recall on the passenger-side  airbag I had the dealer go ahead and replace the badly sun-cracked dashboard (I gather it's  a frequent GM problem) - the rest of the interior is still pristine. Even the carpets, thanks to WeatherTec.

The only other significant repair was the transmission started a loud whine above 45 MPH at around 100K and I had to have the dealer fix some problem with a couple gears which took care of it.  Now she rubs as quiet as ever.  (I understand this is also not unheard of with these big engine Yukon & Tahoes.) 

Here's my question - These days we only rack up about 5-10,000 miles a year.  Am I being silly to hope that I can get another 8 to 10 years on the old girl?  That this could be the last car I own?

Or, does experience tell you that I likely have some big, well-known problems to face ahead? 

Love your channel - never miss an episode!
