How many miles per year?
How much do you drive your Bronco in a year?
What's the furthest you've driven in one "trip"?

I daily drove mine from 93 to 2000. Probably did 15k a year. Longest trip was probably Glenwood.
Looking to get it back to daily status.

Re: How many miles per year?
Currently, I'm at about 2-3K a year. I would probably drive it more if I could in colder/wet weather. My longest trips these days are to Holy Cross or Buena Vista. However, back in college, I used to drive it from Greeley to California and back during winter or summer breaks. Also drove it to Omaha one summer for a wedding.

Re: How many miles per year?
BSD gets taken out daily, 15k plus a year, furthest round trip is up to Meeker and back, say 500 mi and loaded w/ trailer & ATVs to just under 10k lbs. Since I bought Gunni it gets taken out 1-2 times a week so IΓÇÖll guess 2-5k a year.

Re: How many miles per year?
I'm doing about 10K/year on mine since getting back on the road.
The high-water mark for me was SuperCelebration. With the scenic route on the way out, I clocked 4K on that trip. Followed it up that summer with 1500 miles towing the camper through the midwest.

Re: How many miles per year?
IΓÇÖm about 6k per year since selling my F250.
To date my longest trip was to Moab and back.
Phil and I are taking this bad boy from Denver down through Baja and back. Will probably be 4,500 miles for that adventure.
Roadkill Style !

Re: How many miles per year?
I really hope you guys don't do it roadkill style. That seems like a lot of pain over 2500 miles. [emoji38]Rox Crusher wrote:IΓÇÖm about 6k per year since selling my F250.

Re: How many miles per year?
About 5k/year when it's assembled. So probably 15k over 6 years of ownership....

I feel like you're about 14k too high on your estimate....

Re: How many miles per year?
I narrowed my bronco 8 years ago and installed a new speedometer when I did. It's currently reading just over 2k miles. Not many but most are trail miles I think.

Around 2-3k a year, on the 1/2 cab (Red) Henry no miles. Unless pushing it around the shop on dolly's counts.

Less than 500 for me. Mine will ride around fine, it's just not comfortable for long drives.
