I use mine as a daily driver, 70 miles round trip. I get similar mileage as my wife in the van, but I have the truck I want! Just doesn't feel right to drive around in a Hyundai!

Daily driver (don’t do cars). The topper is referred to as the Doggie Condo around our house. Pull our 38’ travel trailer all over the US. I love my truck it’s very intimidating when vying for a good parking spot at the grocery store.

Use to be a tool truck for a concrete contractor, then he converted it to haul hay. I didn't know much about the Cummins when I bought it, just bought it cause it was 4wd and a 1 ton. Also gambled that being a diesel, the engine would get me by awhile despite the miles. Got it for hauling construction material to the cabin and plowing. Fell in love with it and drive it for entertainment as well as personal work. Although it's probably the ugliest truck here, I'm hoping to be about done putting money into the drive train so I can start saving for a divorced overdrive, and it will get a new cab. Without overdrive, I can't use it for my daily commuter yet. I've had 6 round bales on it a few times. Road gravel (wet), logs, bricks, stones and top soil. I could see a 2nd one or some sort of conversion down the road. Use to be 100,000 miles was a lifetime. Now that most get there in a couple years, I think the diesel is gonna really take off.

I bought mine as a fixer upper to pull my 32' 5th wheel trailer. I FT in the trailer and needed something reliable to move in between AZ and mid Nevada for the seasons. Right now though I just use it to go to Sonic for a HB and a coke. I just like driving it and how it sounds.
