How many miles do you drive your CUCV per year?

[Tinstar]

It seems like, to me, I drive my M1008A1 a lot.
In it everyday when I’m not flying.
Ranch work, errands, occasionally driving to work, etc.
But I’m only averaging just over 5300 miles per year.
Have had truck just over 3 years now.

Truck is great and wife and I take it for an occasional trip, exploring the back roads.
No really long road trips have been attempted.......yet.


So I was wondering what everyone else is averaging.
Definitely curious on the highest miles driven per year.

Averaging 7200 per year on the M1009 for the last 6 years.

Took it on the 2015 Bankhead and the 2017 RT66 MVPA Convoys.

I drove my M1009 daily for 2 years and put 15000 miles on it. Longest trip was about 5 hours at 65mph. I also delivered chinese in it locally for 11 months. I put all new bearings, wheels seals, brakes, hoses belts, new radiator, heater core, batteries, electric fuel pump, fuel lines and rehabbed all electrical points before I made it into a daily driver.

I got it back 3 years later from a deal gone sour and resealed the injection pump, new batteries, new batteries, cables, interior carpet and 31 inch mud terrains. Its gonna be my DD again and will receive AC, insulation and a basic sound system over the next year.

My M1009 was getting around 5000 a year for a few years until I started driving the Cowdog. My son was using his M1009 for around 8k a year until he went to college.

Well with 5 different trucks all different purposed I would say the 1008A1 in
1 year, 500 miles. And that is using it as a truck. I just picked up a crate engine
with it just to exercise the seals.

Sounding like I’m not that far off on average mileage from you guys.

Six years driving an average 5,900 miles a year in my M1028A2

 

[GM72K10]

4000 miles a year combined between the M1028a1 and the m1028a2

I drive my M1031 with the ProFab hay bed around 10,000 miles a year. It works great with the 4.56 gears checking cattle and feeding them. It gets used on a daily basis year around doing all kinds of farm work. Been doing this for about 8 years now.

.....daily driver, average about 6000 miles/year the last 5 years......

My 1008 was my daily driver for about 6 years, I've never tracked the mileage but when I got it had about45,000 mi on it and now has 112,000. It didn't take me long before I swapped out the TH400 for a TH700R4 and a little bigger tires!

I Drive my M1028A2 almost every day locally.
Average around 4,000 miles a year. Put about a third of that on the
M35A1.
Then I have five other trucks to drive occasionally.
When your retired you can find time to drive them all at least a little.

A truck in motion tends to stay in motion.

Definitely not high mileage trucks!!

First year with the 85 M1008 I put 8K on it. Had quite a few trips from Atlanta to west Ga thrown in there. Now that I live in west GA and the other two trucks are running, that number will get cut in half at least.
