    Curious if anybody else doesn't get the drive there Tacoma as much as they like to.
    I bought my truck on July 7th 2016 and today I just broke 1900 miles.

    That's less than 500 miles a month. I love the truck and I'm looking forward to being able to drive it more come the new year when I make a slight career shift.

    vehicles are made to be driven...I know people that like to boast of low mileage... I dont get it...because I buy a vehicle to use it not for it to sit around.

    Yes I have you beat. Had my Betty 1 year today and on the way home from getting my 1st free oil change today, she turned over 4,000 miles. That is 333 miles per month. Glad I have a good service department within 50 miles from home. Dan Hecht Chebby/Toyota in Effingham, IL. Shout out to my service advisor, Aaron Brown, thank you!

    OP said he doesn't get to drive it much.
    Some people buy because they need it; some buy because they want it. Simple.

    I've had mine for a week and already have 450+ miles on the ODO. Love it so far and I'll be babying it through 1000 when I get to the first self done oil change. So far no diff howl, no odd wind noises, just the clunky manual transmission and normal truck noises! Can't wait to do some long hauls up to northern VT for skiing this winter and out to the Canyonlands hopefully next summer for a mountain biking trip!

    I think I'm in second place at 341 miles per month at 12 months. I work from home so no daily work commutes here.

    Sure they're made to be driven? I've never considered that before.

    I wish I could drive my truck everyday... But right now working life doesn't call for it so I only got to drive it one maybe two days out of the week. This is a great week because I actually get to drive my truck 3 days in a row.

    My truck already has 20,500 miles on her, picked it up mid December of last year.

    My 2002 Camaro SS on the other hand only has 44,000 after 14 years, so there's that. But I've gone 1,500 in the last month since I bought it and I drive the things I own. Previous owners didn't drive it much.

    And some like myself don't have the money to be out running up and down the road for the hell of it. Simple.

    I bought mine so I don't have to ride the "Rides Transit" bus. Nice to be able when I can afford to drive into town and buy a Pizza from Pizza Hut instead of eating frozen ones every week. Or if I get the hankering for a ice cream cone from Dairy Queen, don't have to call "Da Bus" to come pick me up at there convenience.

    I have about a 12 mile round trip commute for work. Some only get to drive a few days, while others don't even get the truck warmed up going to work.

    So thats you, some buy it because they like it. Some don't need to drive a lot. Take me for instance I live right next to where I work it is quicker for me to walk or ride my bike to work then it is to drive. I drive MAYBE 200 miles a month if that. I fill my tank once a month or less.
