10K on the JK

[RoadKingLarry]

Rolled over 10K miles on my 2015 Wrangler Sahara JK yesterday.
Took me 54 weeks to manage that.
So far the vehicle had been flawless. I've only done a little light off road driving with it but I didn't buy it to be a rock crawling mud slinger.



I get a pretty consistent 19Mpg on the standard 10% ethanol we have around here.
My only complaints about the vehicle are minor nits about design issues.
I consider the fuel tank to be a bit on the small side, 18 gallons, another 5 gallons of capacity would be nice.
A few more cargo tie downs in the rear cargo area would be nice but I can add them myself if I decide I need them.

If only they made a 5 gallon fuel conveyance that Jeep people would like.

If I ever decide to get seriously off the beaten path I'll add a jerry can carrier.

10,000 miles in about a year is pretty good.  Is that your primary vehicle?

I'm doing about 15k/year on our minivan (135k miles), 12k/year on my Focus (41k miles), and 2k/year on my 4Runner (211k miles).  I wish I only did 10k/year on my daily drivers.

It's my daily driver. But, my round trip commute to work is only a whopping 4 miles.
My wife probably does closer to 15K a year in our Ram 1500, I still don't know where she goes to do that though, she works from home.

38k on the state issued work mobile. 5k on my personal ehicle, must of that was in my move to a different town in Jan.

Nice pic of the jeep!


On the thread veer....my daily driver will probably see about 10k a year.  Well, except for using it on trips etc might take the mileage up more.
We're talking about renting a camper over spring break and hauling it to Florida for that week, I mean that'll be like 1800 miles on it in a week.

Good to see you're getting your jeep into jeep territory RKL! :)

On mileage, when I was still working I was doing around 25k/yr, much of it because I was driving from the coast to here for my rentals at least once a month. Probably close to 30k/yr the last years while my mom was sick. I have my trucks as a business vehicle on my taxes though, so the majority of the miles and fuel, plus maintenance and depreciation all get deducted, so mileage for that was inconsequential.

Mileage now is a lot less. If I was just doing around town stuff, I don't think I'd put more than 7k/yr between both vehicles. Given the multi-state road trips and fishing trips though, I think I'm around 17k/yr.
