Well, 5000 Km (about 3000 miles) and zero problems. The ole beater got us there and back every time. It pulled the little RV up the scenic Icefields Parkway, where we hiked, climbed, paddled, and camped our hearts out.
Pulled in 3rd gear @ ~2800 RPM exclusively (with Tow/Haul on). It would hit 2nd gear an 4500 RPMs on the hills, but would accelerate any time I wanted it to. I averaged about 21L/100Km or 9 mpg US when towing. It would get 11 mpg on the flats with no wind and 8 mpg pulling into a headwind or climbing and descending the mountain grades.
