We own 2 mileage cars and the truck. I want to keep the mileage/wear down, but don't want to harm the truck by not driving it enough. How often do you recommend driving it to keep seals/parts fresh? I don't use it for short trips if I can avoid it. Thanks!

50 miles a week should be good.

I have a similar situation. Once every 3 weeks or so seems to work just fine. I too don't run it often but when I do I put some miles on it.

As you can see in my sig, my truck just grazes in the driveway most of the time. I try to get it out for weekly exercise for about 50-100 miles. However, I've left it set for a month and it didn't seem to mind. But I prefer to run it at least once every other week for a good 50 mile highway run so everything gets good a warm and lubricated.
