Towing miles

Just curious....Of the total mileage on your truck how much is while towing?

My truck has 51,000 kms on it and although I've never really kept track I'd guess around 12,000 kms. are towing our trailer. I wish it was more.

I have put 15k on mine since I got it (6 months ago)

About 10k of it with a trailer.

Mine will be a year old on Thanksgiving and it has 116354 miles on the odometer. I would have to guess that over 90 percent of that is while towing a trailer.
