30K today (1-13-08)! Purchased 4-30-06. Much commuting at 14-15 mpg and lotsa trails at 3 - 4. Best mileage was between 19-20 in Monument Valley caravaning to Moab last year. Best trail was Lockhart Canyon in the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands.

I have 50,000 on mine, purchased in April of '06. I would say I have at least 1500 actual on trail miles and probably 6000 miles getting to the trails. Mileage started out over 20 and has gone down with the Mods. Runs great and more mods planned. Headed for Gilmer, TX for this weekends run.

Just turned 13,000 yesterday.
I bought mine also July of '06.

A short 30 mile round trip to work each day does not add up many miles.

me too!

Mine just hit 13k today too. No issues and I'm getting a tranny cooler installed. I just picked up the new Lexus IS-F so my miles should be cut in half going forward. For anyone who is a Toyota/Lexus car fan, I gotta tell ya...this car is REALLY impressive. The Lexus building "soft" cars only era is definately over.

16k. My gas milage seems to be improving a bit, but my new skid plats should take care of that.

Got mine in July 06 and Just hit 20,000 on my 6Speed with 3, 2200 mile, NY to CO runs.......still runs great and don't doubt that it will for another bazillion years, it's a Yota it can do that, that's why I bought it in the first place.

FUCKING A RIGHT IT DOES. Bitch..........and I agree with the mpg-less thing.......can you not read people??????The thread title says how many miles do you have not miles per gallon do you have.

36000 miles in just over a year!

My TRDSE just rolled up on 36000 in just over a year. Fuel economy is 18-21 mpg and the truck is awesome.
I wish my wife would let me trade her 2004 LC in on a Trail Team version...........gm
