Highest Annual Mileage
I was just curious if anyone puts as many or more miles on their truck per year than mine? I am at 24K thus far in 2020 with a couple long road trips coming up, I should be around 45-50K this year. I really try to stay under 30K miles per year but as an example, I didn't really do anything notable and drove no A-B over 50 miles and still put 1,200 on it last week.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
Classic vehicles were originally made to be driven right?...glad to see you driving it and driving it alot. I don't put more than a few thousand per year on any of mine...the occasional trip to visit family (150 miles round trip) and mostly back and forth to work.
My 85 K20 gets the most miles (5K per year) because I drive it on the rainy days and through the winter (4x4 and all). I live on a gravel road and rainy days mean muddy roads and I hate to wash the nicer ones all the time, the K20 is still un-restored. I perused your build thread. It's a wonderful daily driver and you must drive it in your sleep too! |
Re: Highest Annual Mileage
I doubt I drive more than 20k a year total these days all vehicles combined. I usually put 6-8k a year on my '72

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
Oh wow! You have me beat in the mileage department. My 1968 C10 with carburation 327 with 3 speed manual is my daily driver. I drive 130 miles per week for work, so I'm about 7,000 miles driven in a years time.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
Pretty cool your driving it that much honestly. Ive put close to 1,000 miles on mine in the last month. My company truck gets 40-50k a year though. A new truck every 2-3 years is kinda nice.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
I think its impressive with original equipment. I am not sure how impressive it is with a modern drivetrain - an LS with 5 or 6 gears and a custom suspension setup is a late model truck with a classic shell on it.
Actually the rate you are going, that is impressive regardless. |
Re: Highest Annual Mileage
I only drive about 40k miles a year total and it gets spread out over seven vehicles including three motorcycles so really none of mine get too many miles.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
It is by no means a record but I have put about 21000 miles on my Burban over 28 months.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
I dont drive as much as you because I'm on the oil fields half the year. But when i am home for the other half I drive my truck daily for everything and it is the only vehicle I take on road trips for fishing. If I had to guess I will but 12-17,000 on it this year. My truck is all original other than the engine that was just rebuilt to the 383. I do take it apart and clean everything every chance I get. Just got done putting the front axle back on after sand blasting it and replacing everything other than the pinion bearings and seals, they looked great. I really enjoy driving it and I'm in Alaska. Even in the winter time it does great.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
So far I have just under 27,000 on my 2016 that I bought new.

Re: Highest Annual Mileage
I'm confused are we talking 67-72 truck mileage or all vehicles in general?
