Default Re: Daily drive?

I've had many cars go 200k miles. Two Honda Accords, a 76 and a 78 (both bought used.) Two Fords, a 86 F150 and a 92 Ford Explorer went over 200K.

The 86 F150 amazed me as I bought it new and sold it at 250K miles with the original engine and tranny, still running great despite towing a horse trailer for many years.

I bought the TCH in 2006 for the comfort and MPG as the price of gas made the F150 too costly to commute in. I car pooled for years, helping me save gas and reduce the miles I put on vehicles.

Now I'm down to just the TCH and the FEH. The TCH sees most of the miles as it gets 10 to 15mpg more than the FEH. I drive about 70 miles a day, and am averaging about 18K a year on the TCH and about 7K a year on the FEH.
