I have a 2018 F150 that is only days away from lease ending. When I got it, I had intended on buying it in the end; I had never leased before and just wanted to see what it was like (didn't like it as I felt I didn't really own it). Received several emails from dealer stating they wanted my truck. Went in to see them a month or so ago and they were willing to drop the last 2 or 3 lease payments, forgive the excess (about 8000 miles at $.25), AND give me some cash (about a grand) if I turned it in early. As enticing as it all seemed, I use my truck as a truck and didn't want to wait another 9 (likely much more) weeks to order a new one (ordering EXACTLY what options you want is so much better than settling). I am here on Hagerty because I also own a sports car that offsets some of the mileage I would otherwise put on my truck. I love the extremes of my two vehicles, big vs small, practical vs fun. I can't say if someone else should keep a vehicle or not; too many variables. but for me, the truck is going to stay.
