I've driven my f150 twice in the last month. Once because I was picking up an antique china cabinet and the second time I drove it to work just to show the guys that not ALL the vehicles I drive are old rusty POS's lol

I don't drive my truck much regardless. I live on a 3,000 acre ranch which is also my job so when I go to town during the week I take the 08' Tundra (work truck).


The Toyota is definitely worse on gas but I'm not paying so doesn't bother me. The majority of time when I leave the ranch we take the wife's Scion because it gets 33 mpg. We have cut down on taking the truck to town because the last time I filled the tank it scared the wife

Ya. Free truck & free gas...I can't complain. It gets used pretty hard for my day to day work. Sad part is the owner gave me his Tundra and he went out and bought two new F-150's (09' & 10'). I wish I had one of those instead

My commute is almost 400 miles per week for work so I picked up a 2010 civic. The train was a pain in the *** and I wasn't driving my truck into Boston so this has worked out a lot better. The truck sits in the garage and I only use it a few times per month when the weather is nice.

My truck sits most of the time weather permitting right now. Ride the bike as much as possible now. Not beyond driving the truck, cringe at the $80 dollar weekly gas expense, Heck, I have thought about selling it and renting a truck if I need one. Spending less than $20 in gas on the bike is not considered suffering to me. When the weather changes again, or rainy days I will be back in the truck.

I drive only 20 miles a day for work mon-fri so it is not bad. I would love to have a smaller car, but cant afford it. I would also love to have a motorcycle, but that is too dangerous for me.

My truck usually sits for 2-4 weeks at a time. I drive a semi OTR so I'm only home that often. I used to put 30k a year on it until I got this job. Now it's had less than 5k put on in the past 6 months.

I will be going on a 1400mi round trip vacation in a few weeks. Gonna do the 65k oil change when I get home before leaving. With this trip I will likely be putting on more miles in 1 week than I have in the first 4 months of this year.

My '05 FX4 Flareside sits in the garage Monday-Friday, and gets about 50 miles put on the odometer each weekend -- unless it's raining, in which case it stays in the garage then as well.

My truck is my only vehicle so I keep on driving it on a daily basis.

I drove mine 183 miles since last April. I now have a company supplied brand new 2012 Ford Escape I use for all my driving and they cover everything. I pay 100 dollars a month for this benefit.

Just got a job with a company van. I was driving my bronco more then the f-150 because I didn't care about running up the mileage on it. Now both my trucks will be parked 6 days a week. I'll have to get a second solar charger.

took mine out for the first time in a month. i do say getting in a truck with leather interior is WAY more confortable and feels like a caddy after driving a small asphalt hugging car with cloth!
