    I don't drive my truck mainly until the weekend..But when the weekend comes I'm driving it a decent bit. I've driven it across the country and now it sits for the week, mainly because I'm in college.

    It gets driven to go hunting and fishing...towing a boat too.

    2004 with 74k.

    I'm a weekend warrior. I live in the city so i walk or ride my bike 95% of the time I am going anywhere. When I get out of here is when I get to drive the Tacoma.
    I purchased it August 25, 2012 with 79,350 miles. 3 months later I've added 946 miles. I plan on having this truck for a long time so I'm at a good pace to pass 200k in 2037 haha.

    When I had my 2011 Double Cab and I went and traded it in I had 17,500 kms on it. That was in 14 months of ownership. I thought I drove a lot more than that lol.

    There is a guy that always buys trucks from my buddys Ford dealer who will put about 1000 miles a year and then trade them in 3 years later on a new truck.

    Mine is mainly used on the weekends. Bought it July 2008 and it has a little over 22,000. About 25% of that mileage was on three separate summer trips doing some exploring around Idaho and Montana :D

    me. i put on maybe 4000 miles this last year. last time i drove it to tuscon, got home and parked it for almost 4 months. some random grocery runs..but nothing.

    at an oil change to prep for an idaho hunt..i noted i only went 2000m miles. i dumped the oil, changed it, drove it to idaho to hunt..changed the oil (super dusty in idaho) and filter, diffs, transfer juice..parked it again.

    i have a company car.

    I also have a work vehilce anf my personal truck is not driven much. I have had a 2011 Tacoma for 26 months. I has 9800 miles which includes a 2000 mile trip I took its first summer. I get the free oil changes done every 6 months (why not they are free) but when I go past the final free change (next spring) I will switch to synthetic and a once a year change.

    Damn, didn't realize there were so many of us.lol My company doesn't care if I drive the truck for personal, so I tend to take that more. I hate to say it, but my rational side is starting to think about selling the Taco in the near future.

    I miss trucking bad. I did it for a few years and got out. I'm now a project manager for a home elevator company and while I love what I do, I can't help but miss the cab of the truck.
