Your Yukon is in very good condition! What year is it ?
Wow! You only drive around 3,400 miles per year ?Purchased new in April of 2000, currently 38,000 miles....4X4, 3/4 ton, 364 gas V8, automatic, 4.10 gears, 10,000 pound towing capacity.

That GMC is lucky! Most of them get driven a lot I'm sure, being good trucks for work.
Won't be doing your battery much good, but I know what you mean.Low mileage is becuz we purchased it to pull our travel trailer, wife and I worked in same place and only used one vehicle to commute, (car) and we retired 2 1/2 years after buying the GMC. Retired guys drive little, I put less than 2000 miles a year on my car and truck. GMC gets used only for towing becuz poor gas mileage.

If there is nowhere to go, it is hard to find a reason to go out in a car.
Adding low MPG on top of that, and you have a big reason to only drive it occasionally!
Drive it at least once a week to keep battery charged...went to local recycling center today, something I do quarterly. Has close to 200 empty milk jugs and juice bottles, probably 800 aluminum and tin cans, 50 pounds of flattened cardboard cartons, and about 250 pounds of newspapers and magazines. I was there for 20 minutes unloading, made me laugh so hard when people pulled into the center and took a little box of paper from the trunk to go in the dumpster, then they would get back in and drive 30 feet and throw in two or three milk jugs.
Lazy idiots. I parked in one spot and hauled all my recycle around without moving the truck at all. People are so lazy these days it disgusts me. Have to get back in the car and drive 30 feet to drop off 2 pounds of plastic.....:confused2::confused2:
Since you hijacked your own thread.....:laughing:
Thanks for recycling...everybody should.:thumbsup:
Luckily mine is picked up once a week. I only have to carry it to the street.
