How Many Miles Do You Think The Original KITT Would Have

[Mr. M]

So I was thinking about TOS and how Knight Rider was very much setup at times like the modern day cowboy riding into a new town each week on his trusty steed. Saving people and towns from the bad guys. That got me thinking, the characters of Michael Knight and KITT would have done a lot of driving, and they must have racked up a lot of miles going from mission to mission and from town to town, but the question is how many? What ballpark?

So for fun list how many miles you think the Trans Am KITT could have had in the context of the Knight Rider universe throughout the course of the 4 year run, and if you like make a guess as to how many miles KI2T had before he could have gone "offline." 100,000 miles; 200,000 miles; 500,000 miles? I'm sure someone who is a bigger fan than me could put a logical guess in. There's no wrong answer, I'm just curious as to how others would view this.

For me I would easily put KI2T at 100,000+, maybe closer to 200,000 miles by the end of the 80's show. To me it seemed like KI2T was treated like a cop car, always on the road and always on the move traveling long distances many times.

Considering KITT could travel at speeds up to 300 miles per hour and travel large distances in minutes, it would mean he could put on a LOT of mileage. Once I had parked next to a 3rd Gen T/A that had 300,000 miles on it. That's a normal real-life (non-KITT conversion but black w/tan interior) car. So thinking how KITT is not a typical car, and they can go that much for people just using it for personal use, I'd say at least 400,000 or 500,000. I read one time where a Pontiac 6000 was at 500,000 miles and counting (still running!) Maybe even KITT could have hit the million mark if he was/is still in 'service' so to speak!

But from '82 - '85 I wouldn't be surprised to see 500,000 at least on the odometer of that car if it were for real.

KARR wouldn't even have 10,000 because he really didn't go very far before he kept getting destroyed. LOL! So that would make KITT technically older than KARR, usage-wise!
