Pickup trucks are not only very popular in the Roanoke region – they are also the vehicles most likely to be held by the original owners for at least 15 years. The numbers come from iSeecars.com, which helps used car buyers shop on line. They show that around here, people who purchase new Titans, Tundras, Colorados and Tacomas are more likely to still be owning them 15 years later than any other vehicles. More from WFIR’s Evan Jones:
