What's the farthest you've towed in one day?

Shane,

550 miles, at 60 mph, but all on interstate. However, we have put 100k on our AS in 5 years, so we don't sit much.

650 miles in one day for a total of 2,200 miles in four days. It wasn't a vacation!

From my old house between Wimberley and Driftwood, TX it was 1,004 miles to the Florida welcome center on I10. I've gone a little ways beyond that several times, but I was traveling on business. I usually took it easier going home. That was pulling the Trade Wind back in the lat 80s. Usually left late in the day and drove overnight.

If I were you, I would plan on several stops on your trip to Key West. Enjoy the trip.

1100 miles. but I don't recommend it for anyone. It was an emergency trailer delivery, and not in accordance with the DOT regs. Only left the truck long enough to hit the bathroom while coffee water was heating.

When on vacation I like 200 mile days if anything interesting, but generally do 6 to 700 when trying to get there.

I normally do not tow much over 60 mph

nearly 700 miles in one day.

10 hours, which was 2 hours too many.

From Texas to PA. Continual driving 24 hours straight. 1350 miles. Never turned off the diesel truck. Only made pit stops and fuel stops as needed.

[FordTruck]

652 miles. Spirit Lake IA to Greenwood IN. 651 miles

1952 miles just about 32 hours Nashville, TN to Boise, ID trying to make the most of my vacation , not going to do that again without a co-driver.

700. Dallas to Nashville. 2 drivers. Rained the entire day.

I guess someone has to be the lightweight here.

Biggest days 400-500 miles-and those days are usually wide open country, not urban or suburban.

Typical days 200-300 miles.

I've noticed decrease in driving stamina since I was in my 20s. I drove 1000 mile days in a car when I was young.

Depends on who's in the rig with me...

The boys and I: 600 miles in 10 hours, easy.
The girls and I: 400 miles in 14+ brutal, exhausting hours.

859 Miles ... Cordelle, Ga. to Ann Arbor, Mi. All x-way. First part was through the remnants of the ice storm that hit Atlanta this past February. That part was WAY too exciting!

500 miles is a much better day.

We were loading two trailers to move my brother from North Pennsylvania to South Florida when we got the phone call our father had died in Florida. Hurriedly finished loading the trailers, and drove 1275 miles in 23 1/2 hours. Average speed was about 55 mph, all we stopped for was gas and coffee. I wouldn't recommend anybody else do this...

Love it. And sounds so very typical.

We went from Amarillo, Tx to Camarillo, Ca which is approx 1126.7 miles. My daughter was my co-driver. We were finishing 4 1/2 days of going from home to Mobile, Al to pick up our new trailer. Was worth it to get our first Airstream.

The bottom line, here, I think, is to do as many miles as you feel comfortable with. It's not a race against how far other people have towed. It is how you feel at the end of the day. 200/2000-it just doesn't really matter. Pick a place wher you would like to stop for the night and make that your goal, not how many miles you can cram in a day. There are no awards on here for marathon trailer pullers.

[Bluto]

So Pill, how many miles have you towed in one day?

[dick&claire]

I was taught that 700 miles a day or more constitutes spousal abuse.
