Daily Driver only when it's either too cold (about 10 days a year) or too hot (about 60 days a year) here in Phoenix.

Other than that, the sole reason I've got this truck is to get the toys to the Dunes.

Mostly as a daily driver (about 35,000 miles/year). Have only towed 1 thing (25' house boat) and put dirt in the back bed to throw down on the driveway during winter months. Plow during the winter (about 3 driveways). Spin my tires a lot during the summer (tires don't last 2 seasons for me , even when rotating them). Mostly just enjoy working on it to tweak it, drive the hell out of it and enjoy the pleasure of owning a Cummins.
