We hit the 50,000 mile mark in my 03 L today.
Not a big deal I guess. I bought her 3 years ago with 18,000 miles on the clock. I still love to drive her just as much as the first day I drove her home from Arizona.
Sort of a milestone and I just wanted to tell someone. You guys are the only people who might care.
Thanks.

I'm at 40k. Bought it at 27k. Not bad for almost 2 years of ownership I guess. I used to be obsessed with keeping the miles down, but I don't care too much any more. I'd rather drive it than let it sit and stare at it.

bought mine with 53, rolled 54 on the drive back to Baton Rouge, and I'm around the mid 57k range right now. Owned it for 3 months. I did put a few miles on it because I drove it to houston and back two times (700~ miles) plus my DDing. Miles wont go up much more from now on though.

I'm still stuck inbetween, I love driving but I hate the miles. I look at the odometer more than the speedometer. Currently it sits with 14,660 miles and won't be driven again until May.

I love driving mine, just not on rough rainey days. Even at that its not the weather, its the way people drive in the weather that worries me.

I bought it to drive it. Bought at 28k in 06, rolled 50k a few months ago lol

The mileage only makes a difference if you are going to sell it. I'm never selling mine, when the engine blows I will put a new one in and keep going, I love the truck, I love what it stands for, and I especially love the way it runs!

I'm totally with you on that one.

There are two things I will always need.
1. A truck.

2. to go fast.
