    The horse is my daily drive,seven days a week & the only time the horse went into the shop ever ws for the valves & yet still didn't need to because isn't scheduled to do so as this time.

    My VX gives me about 22 mpg without any doubts,another big factor on mileage is how hard you drive,plus i use premium fuel (93),keep tires pressure as is should,avoid dragging extra weight & all those little things deffinetly helps improve mileage.

    Other that the engine lit pop in up some times (got to replace the canister) the horse accomplishes his duty as it was built for (knocking wood)
    Dakar was just the begining.

    OK… I guess I’m gonna ‘out’ myself here…

    Not only is my VX my daily-driver, it’s also my work vehicle – And what is it that I do?
    Well, since January of last year, I’ve been a Papa John’s Pizza Delivery Driver.

    Yes, that’s right, I deliver pizza in a VehiCROSS, with the illuminated sign sitting on top, and everything... while running Rancho 9000x shocks and 32" Goodyear MT/Rs (sometimes, even with my 32" Radial TSLs! ) --- Here in West Virginia, especially in the winter, some of the places that I am required to go while working, I simply can't imagine even attempting in a car; however, the VX takes it all in stride and makes it look easy.... Tight turns? - No problem... Steep hills? - No problem... Rutted, muddy, or snow-covered goat path driveways? - No problem!

    PLUS, I also take it 4-wheeling, locally, and also out-of-state (2 or 3 hours away, at least twice a year). --- For those out-of-state trips, I finish-up my shift at work, drive to the trails, 4-wheel all weekend, drive it back home, and then show-up for work the next day... no problem.


    Mine had over 100,000 miles on it when I got it (with a broken odometer wire for the first year, so there's really no way of knowing for sure), but I would guess that I'm close to 160K now -- and it's still going strong! (knock on wood)


    You honestly couldn't ask for a better all-around vehicle... Street or trail; a VX is a real BEAST!


    Cheers!
