Bought mine 4 Feb 2006 and as of today I have 26500 exactly. I've put 4K miles on it in the last month with a family vacation and a work trip to Tenn.

I wouldn't sweat the mileage unless you're leasing. My truck has been running better as the miles have piled on. 29K after 2 years and no problems.

I've got only 5,100 on my truck and I've had it for about 7 months... averages out to 24.8 miles per day.

My '99 I had... I got to 103,862 since March of '99 until October of '03. So I put 60.7 miles per day.

My '00 Dakota I still have has 107,331 since June of '00 until June of now. So I put 42.5 miles per day.

However, I used the '99 for a few trips to Florida... but the Dakota has been the official "Florida" runner. So 85,000 miles were the trips down to Florida and driving around down there. However, I don't go down there as much any more due to gas prices and limited time. So as each day clicks by that I don't drive the truck, the less it looks like it will be averaged out on.

Edit:

Here's a good one... my parents Jeep Compass...

Bought it in the fourth week of May. 6 weeks it already has 3,276 miles on it. That is 78 miles per day!

Y'all ought to get out of the house once in a while...

Purchased my '05 in September of 2005. As of pulling in the driveway this evening, I have 124,xxx miles, put on in 21 months. I've mostly been flying out for work over the last six months,so I've slowed down on the number of miles I put on. That number is still low because I fly out for on average one week/month. For giggles, call it 5 work days/3 weeks/month, 21 months equals 395 miles per day average.

Still on original brake pads; second set of Bridgestone Revos, and only mechanical problem was a locked up injector at 32,000 miles and needed to do the TSB for shifting into 4WD because of moisture in the vacuum lines.

Running Valvoline Synthetic for all fluids, change oil every 5k and it uses about 1/4 qt. between changes. Overall fuel mileage from new to day has stayed right at 18 mpg.

I edited my post, because I wanted to be more accurate-I only drive it Monday through Friday, and only three weeks per month...so it's actually 395 +/- per day...

Do you live out of your truck during the week?

Cause that is like a ton of driving. I hate driving down to Florida every once in a while... but jeeeeeeeez.

How many sets of tires have you had on your truck already?! Has to be coming up to 3 sets of 4?

  1. I get home every night. I just have a lot of territory to cover in the meantime (Nebraska, South Dakota, about 1/3 of Iowa)
  2. I ran the OEM tires until about 48,000 miles, then put on my first set of Revos. Replaced those with a second set of Revos at 118,000 or so (I don't remember for sure off the top of my head). I rotate every 10k and check balance every 20,000 miles
