How Many Miles Do You Have ?

Daves2008 · June 19, 2009

I have an 08 silvy and i drive an average of 80 miles a day commuting. Sooooo on a 5 year loan, i figure this sucker will be loaded by then. I'm new to the full size game. And in the past I've had explorers/ rangers can take a beating highway driving. But i've never thought of how much stop/go and long idles would take the life off of a larger truck. So basically i was wondering how many miles do you have currently and what type of driving do you do??

08 LT1 w/ 17k on it.... already.. ugh.

I have an 08 with 36xxx on it already. Truck still runs like it was new. My daily commute is 55 miles. I wash it every other week, and it still looks great. These trucks can go over 200K miles if you maintain them. I am currently doing 10,000 mile oil changes with synthetic oil. I plan on driving this truck till the wheels fall off. You'll be fine. Take care of her (scheduled maintenance), and she'll take care of you.

Holy crap. I have a 08 Sierra (had it now for 13 months), and am just over 9000 kilometers. But then again I am only 10 minutes fro work, and most local driving around is in the wifes Saturn, which is better on gas

I have just over 21k on mine,I purchased it March '07,I wouldn't even have half that on it but I use it for my "travel/pleasure" vehicle to go to NASCAR races and trips and such.

My Saturn is my daily driver!!

I have a 2006 with the 4.3L.

Bought it in February 2007. Cheap. (it was a leftover)

It now has a little over 65,000 on it.

The previous one was a 1999...also a 4.3L...it had almost 250,000 on it.

Picked mine up in Mar 07 and it has about 23K miles on it, and it IS my DD.

When I lived in Pittsburgh, my commute to work was just over 2 miles, so my daily commute was 8 miles (came home for lunch). Now I'm in State College and my commute is 30 miles a day.

07 with 29,100 miles total right now

I have a 93 1500 short wide that has 220,000 plus on it. It has the 305 in it, which isn't near the engine that the new ones are. Regular maintenance and one tranny later, my son drives thw crap out of it and it still hasn't left anyone stranded. People should realize that cheap cars, i.e. 4 cyl, econo boxes, just don't last like V-8 vehicles. Take care of it, and it'll take care of you. Here's what my "Old clunker" that D.C. wants off the road looks like: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...em&CID=2193

Thats a nice "Old clunker"

I bought my 08 Sierra on 9/1/2008...it has a shade over 3,400 miles on it. Considering I have a take-home "company car," the truck doesn't get much mileage...

P71_CrownVic · June 19, 2009

I have 22,131 on my '06.

Work is 1.7 miles away.

97SierraGMC · June 19, 2009
