4000 miles in 10 days

tommyboyZ71 · June 6, 2003

Just got back from a trip with my 02 z71. Put on just under 4000 miles. Drove from NH to Oklahoma. Lots of off roading and dirt roads. My friend sure lives out in the sticks! Truck ran great.

Drove my brother's Regal out to Vegas from Cleveland with him a few years ago...a cross country drive is something I'd recommend for anyone

Only way I'm going cross-country is in an airplane

Ticket round trip will cost about as much probally less than the gas you will use in your vehicle

I think you may be missing the point

2000 GMC · June 8, 2003

We made a trip last October from Anchorage, Alaska to El Paso, Texas then to Washington DC. Made the drive threw Canada and come out in Montana. Put just over 6k on my truck in 3 weeks.

It was nice but I'll never do it again..

What kind of vehicle were you driving during your trip?

satch · June 9, 2003

hi truckman...

i have a 98 GMC Z71....

the post about flying was wrong....my dad had a plane and we did do a lot of flying but that is prob the second best way to see the country....i'm talking private plane here....commercial flying is no good at all unless time is your only concern....private plane isn't bad but still you are limited as to what you can go see....in your own car or truck you can go most anywhere....but it does help to have 4 wheel drive with good clearence...

there are a lot of places that won't let you explore unless you have 4 wheel and clearence...gas milage stayed around 20 as long as i kept my speed down...
