I’d probably drive it more lol

I probably wouldn't unless I could stop working. Every direction I go just leads to more bumper-to-bumper traffic.  Driving more probably would have helped the issues I've had, but it just isn't feasible in my case.

I don’t know if you live in DC proper, or the MD/VA burbs. All I can say is that I bought the truck in 2007 used (first used vehicle I have bought in over 25 years) with 19K on the odo. I drove it daily between Abingdon or Bel Air to either BWI, DCA or PHL. So I know how bad the traffic in DC is. I rank it worst in the nation. 

Finally broken down and got a new to me truck last August.  I had to argue with myself over bigger truck to haul 20 foot boat or fuel economy to make 1.5 hours to work on way.

I live in Vienna.  So about 8 miles from the DC line.  My commute is normally to Rockville or Bethesda.

That’s still a sucky commute.

Nice truck! My average was about 70-75 minutes one-way. But sometimes 67 miles from DCA to home took 4 hours.
