I use mine to do moving jobs, boat hauling, equipment hauling, and sometimes landscaping. Used to plow snow with it but sold the plow and now will tow my ATV behind the truck with the plow on it to do driveways this winter.

Pretty much every weekend I'm pulling something.

Drive out to the oilpatch everyday. Box is either full with a quad, equipment, chemicals, pumps, whatever it takes to get the job done. And the roads require a bit of clearance most of the time. Also I got a diesel cause work gives it to me for free!!

I pull up to 20k 3-4 times a month. 1000 miles plus. Other than that shes usually got about 1000# of tools in the bed. I'm probably in the middle... I know guys that work em hard and I know a couple guys ( who dont haul more than their lunch boxes) that daily drive duallys.
