    longest trips per vehicle ive done are

    08 zx6r - 550 miles of pure twisties Vancouver hwy 99 to Jasper, bc in one shot, took me roughly 12 hours with pit stops

    11 Tacoma - 300 miles so far is my longest but since december ive racked up 8700 miles on her,

    06 Cobalt SS/SC - Lloydminster, Alberta to Salt Lake City 1100 miles in one shot took 17 hours :p

    06 Civic - 950 miles lloyd to seattle

    Needless to say my Cobalt was miled out when i sold it

    my civic was a 100k when we sold it

    my bike has 35k on it and still riding it

    and my tacoma will go to around 150k depends on how much work wants me going to burlington

    Longest trip so far was a loop and a double-back. Started in Gainesville, had a meeting in orlando, then drove to JAX, then back to gainesville, then got called out to Ocala, fixed a site and then drove back to gainesville.

    About 400-450mi

    I did Orlando FL to Franklin Lakes NJ in one shot (about 1,100) in my mini cooper - just food and gas breaks

    and Orlando FL to Columbus, OH on my 1995 Triumph Trophy (1000 in 24 hrs)

    Some nice trips there! Isn't a kind of a cool thing to do a long trip like that? Just you and your truck as a team together. Kinda cool.

    The longest drive I've done in my truck was over this past summer leaving from Moorpark (SoCal) up to Seattle Washington pulling my motorcycle trailer which equates to just over 1140 miles. Straight up. I left at 4:30am in the morning and arrived to Seattle at around 11:15pm. Filled up about 7 times along the way and the only other time I stopped was to grab something to eat at Taco Bell. All I needed was a good nights rest beforehand and some good music to listen to all the way up and I was good to go.

    The longest part of the trip was from Redding to Portland and going up and down up and down over the Sisques, they always seem to never end!

    Going back down this summer and look forward to the drive, although this time I may make it two days instead of straight shotting it.

    I bought a 2004 Double Cab TRD OR on eBay back in 2005 and drove it from Vegas to Seattle in 2 days, with one overnight in Bishop, CA. I don't remember the exact miles/times, but I think it was around 1200 total, and 950 for the Bishop-Seattle leg. The first leg was shorter but I did take some sidetrips to Death Valley and Yosemite that day.

    When I got back to Seattle, I traded the truck in for a brand new 2006 :D(my current truck) and ended up making $2500 on the deal. That's another story in itself.

    The most I have done in little over 24 hrs was from the South side of Cleveland OH to McAllen TX(1750 miles). I was headed home for a wedding that weekend. Since I drive for a living the more you do it the more it wares you out. So I stopped doing those types of runs and now just average my 700 for the day and call it a night.

    I did over 1300 miles once in 2006 in a '96 S-10; Ann Arbor, MI to somewhere way west of Laramie, WY. I stopped in IA for a couple winks at a rest stop, other than that it was for gas and food.

    On a side note my truck didn't have A/C and as I drove across WY on Memorial Day weekend it was over 100 degrees when I stopped at the campground that night it dropped below 30.

    I had a great time during that trip, ended up in Bonneville, WA the next day.
