how often do you drive your bump?

Got to thinking about how often folks drive their trucks. I'm guessing for some, it's everyday or just about. For others, might just be the occasional haul trip or Home Depot run.

So let's hear it - how often do you drive it and how far?

Thanks

Pretty much everyday except days that I take the F450 out for a stretch...
72 250 4x4 is my winter ride and my 71 f25 4x4 is my summer ride. Gotta keep the 71 away from the salt and cinders they throw on the roads here...

I don't drive Frodo as much as he deserves. Gas is kind of high here in Lincoln, and I keep him off the road during the winter. I enjoy driving him, though.

I drive the '71 F100 every day. I've got around 30 lawns this year, and the pruning and tree work. Of course the Home Depot runs(I sure spend a lot of time and money there!), 15-30 miles or more daily.

I average around 800 miles a month.

I've never driven mine

Winched it on my trailer when I bought it. Pushed it in the shop and tore it in a million pieces.

My 1972 F-250 is my daily driver. My plan is to drive it in the winter and drive my 1965 El Camino in the summer, but the Elky is under construction/repair. Winter driving doesn't bother us much here, no salt on the roads. My truck is garaged when at home so the rain doesn't seem to bother it much. I probably put 8,000 miles a year on it.

I own a 1972 Ford f250 4X4. I drive it only when the weather is good. No rain or snow. Can't wait for the weather to warm up. This is not my daily driver, my daily driver is a 2002 ford f250 sd 4X4.

I drive mine about 3 to 5 times per week.

3-5 times a week, around 6-10 miles per day

not enough! Roads around here still have salt on them.

Midwest winters = salted roads = accelerated rot for sheet metal.

Result from being a year-round daily driver here:

After body transplant and now only driven when there is no salt on the roads:

Been driving mine every day to work since I got the Propane and Duraspark working great!
