What's your CTD used for?

Gentlemen,
What do you use your CTD pickup's for? ??? Just trying to get an understanding of what everyone uses their trucks for: work, daily commute, fun, towing toys, etc. I see alot more CTD for personal use. I use mine for the daily commute to work and for towing my 30' travel trailer. Which we pull about 15 times a year. ;D Love my Cummins. 8)

Daily road warrior and towing the toy!! Pics in Album #32

Had a "gasser" which struggled under the load and could only manage about 8.0 mpg, which severely shortened my range.

Now I take the toy where ever I can drive to. 4 trips to FL in the last 2 years - 16.5 mpg @70 mph!! AND Looking GOOD!!

Now that's what I'm talking about!!
