    Most of my runs have been done solo, I'm searching for a good navigator/co-pilot/gf, it takes a certain coolness to fill that slot, gotta be on point, good at nav, keep the driver hydrated and fed, easy on the yakkin, willing to find a bush when needed and can sleep while i drive.

    Longest non stop other than gas, food or pee with me only driving was from Las Cruces, NM to Sparks, NV 1,133 miles and google says it takes 19 hours & 8 minutes but I think we did it in around 18 hours & 30 minutes.
    Longest multi day trip was 2722 miles from San Diego, CA to Portsmouth, VA.

    Not the furthest, but I used to drive it somewhat frequently, jacksonville nc to Miami. Even done it with the 5.7 tundra @85-90 mph and got 14.5 mpg.

    Young and dumb? ha I had a tire blow out on my in a car with low-pro tires and forgot to check the air pressure and had to drive on 95 for about 80 miles at 50mph because I had a doughnut on it that sucked especially when a semi would run up behind me not realizing how slow I was going. What was scary about that was I had to drive the doughnut for around 200 miles. You've got ball's my friend.
    Why the escort?

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    As far as one day, 300 is a good haul. I typically travel with my Dad and due to his spinal injury, we have to stop often so he can get out and walk around. Overall, I've driven thousands of miles around the country, usually to Arizona or Vegas and back. Done it in Dad's Accord twice, his Duramax once, my old Monte Carlo once, and last spring we drove to Ogden Utah and spent spring break there with my truck and our motorcycles in the trailer. Never been across the big river in a car though. Would love to road-trip to Florida sometime but would probably do that in something that gets good mileage for sure.

    I remember when my dad bought his BMW motorcycle, he drove it from the dealership in ohio all the way home. I would say it was a good 200 miles or so.

    Drove 1400 miles from Winnipeg Manitoba to Vancouver BC straight through towing a 5 x 8 u-haul trailer. Took about 28 hours, including all fuel stops, bathroom breaks and food breaks. Didn't sleep on route, just took it slow - obeyed the speed limit (mostly to save fuel) and drank a lot of coffee. Really enjoy driving the Tacoma on long trips, especially since the cruise control actually holds the truck back and stays on speed when driving down steep grades through the mountains and towing a trailer!

    1462 mi from socorro, NM to Lake Geneva, Wi. That was split between 4 of us so it wasn't that bad. Drove straight through about 24 hours, I got the 2 AM to 7AM leg through Missouri (misery). Longest by myself was only about 550 miles from Albuquerque, NM to Norman, OK.

    ~565(1130 round trip) miles El Centro,CA to Santa Cruz, CA for school
    Did that round trip 4 times in my old '93 P/U reg.cab 2wd with a 4 inch inch lift, bouncy ride and very exhausting. Took the Grapevine on I-5 like a champ despite the lift, 31" tires, and a stock 22RE.
    This time around in my '06 DC was much smoother but more expensive gaswise.

    Takes about 9 hours with gas stops, food stops(drive-through) and stretch/bathroom stops.
    My fastest time has been 8h50min with a 20 minute stop to rest. 70-75 depending on terrain/headwind.
