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"?

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?
probably about 2-3k /yr. Furthest I have driven it is to Moab and back. That will be bested in a month when we drive around 2500 miles through Baja!!

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 I’ll 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?
I’m 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.

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

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.

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

Re: How many miles per year?
Less than 500 for me. Mine will ride around fine, it's just not comfortable for long drives.
