First AV Road Trip
« on: August 25, 2011, 09:41:05 AM »
Well the trip from St Louis to FL was an incredible ride! The truck drives and rides like a luxury car performing flawlessly. What a great way to test out a newly purchased preowned too. So glad that this is the ride she decided to go with. We're actually looking forward to the return trip north too instead of viewing it as a long cramped drive. :)
Still hoping to make the Bratfest in a couple weeks and meet you guys!

Yep - I put about 30,000 miles a year on mine for the first 7 years or so.  Gas prices among other things have slowed me down to about 20,000 per year these days.  Mine's been to Florida several times and once into Canada.

We've got 107k on our 06 and believe it or not, it has only been out of Missouri a handful of times. I think we have had to Va twice maybe 3 times at the most. The rest of the 90 some thousand miles has been in Missouri.
