Re: low milage vs. high milage

I have 28K on my 92 Ty and I consider it very low mileage, but others may differ.
I figure if it is still under the original warranty mileage, it should be considered low

This is probably a matter of personal opinion.Will depend on how well the truck was maintained,location,garage kept,how it was driven,etc.

15k per year is average so technically anything below that is low But I would say anything below 100k is low

:stupid: I have about 79k and I consider mine in between. Its not high and not low. High would be 100k, low would be 40 or less IMO.

I have one Ty with 46K. I consider that low since the avverage 91-92 has 80K plus or more.

Re: low milage vs. high milage

I think I have like 58 or 59K now. I consider that to be pretty low. Not extremely low, but in comparison to other trucks that seems decent.

:myclone: If you are averageing under 12k a year then that is considered low mileage. I think with most people, as long as it has under 100k, it's considered low milage. :tup:

Re: low milage vs. high milage

You need to look at the trucks in circulation, figure out roughly what the average mileage is and then if you're below that it's "low or below average).

Mine have 36K and I think that is pretty low. 36k, 16 yrs old = 2,250/year,,,yep :)

Re: low milage vs. high milage

You also have to factor in the trucks with rebuilt engines when talking about low milage. I'll be rebuilding, but as it sits it has 72k on it.

Re: low milage vs. high milage

I think many people have their own defintion. One thing that happens after vehicle get so old that miles per year maybe low mile driven, but it doesn't constitute a low mileage vehicle. For instance no is calling a car averaging 6K mile per year such a Grand National (120K) or a 67 Camaro (240K) low miles. I consider a car with under 50-60K miles low miles. I could maybe even go for 60-80K miles. Anything over 100K most consider high miles even though with a 16 year old Sclone that is only 6250 miles per year. Their are few other categories of Ultra Low mileage. Their seem to a be quite bit of a spike when a vehicle has under 20K miles and another spike when it practically brand new around 1000 miles.

Re: low milage vs. high milage

the problem with low mileage syty's is they are probably low mileage bc they are always broken down and get more wrench time than drive time. :)

Re: low milage vs. high milage

My Braphoon has 257,000 miles on the body but the 93 Ty drivetrain only has just a tick over 50k miles....What do I classify it as? Some low miles, mostly extremely high miles? ;)

Re: low milage vs. high milage

I've always figured low mileage for these trucks to be somewheres around <45k ... I'd consider mine high with 140k on the body (although the rebuilt tranny and motor have only about 2500 on them :D ).

At this point, I'm competing for highest mileage SyTy :tup: I built it to enjoy it, and the odometer isn't going to stop me

Re: low milage vs. high milage

I have a very high milage Ty with 176k on it right now. I fully plan to drive it into the earth too.

I'd like to put a new motor in it and then rebuild the one that's in it now but that's loot I ain't got at the moment.

Re: low milage vs. high milage

It definately depends on the age of the vehicle. I personally would say anything with under 100k is LOW SYTY wise ... if our trucks were used as DD's their entire life, they would have ATLEAST 192k on them ;) ---

mine was retired from DD service about this time 4 years ago... 52k in 4 years sounds about right :D
