How do you use your truck?

Not knocking those of you that rarely (or never) haul a load with their truck, we live in a free country and you can buy whatever vehicle you want, and use it however you see fit, I'm just curious.

For the reccord, I pull the trailer in my signature with my tools in it pretty much every day.

And of course for the joy of driving it

Daily commuter truck, commonly loaded with a couple portable tool boxes. While Im at work, I will use it for anything it can handle instead of getting the company truck.

Just about everything, have a 24' 5er, haul wood , topsoil, gravel, retaining wall blocks,animal carcasses(deer season). That's why it is called a truck

I've never towed anything on mine...

I got my truck because I wanted a Diesel that wasn't in something giant; my truck was basically just what I wanted. I don't really have much of a use for a truck, although I do use it for hauling around pool cleaning supplies every other day. Nope, mainly I drive mine wherever I need to go and rely on it to drive across country once a month...

Give me a minute to figure out how to edit the poll... I meant to make it so you could select multiple options...

On edit: I believe you can select multiple choices... But I can't test it

I bought mine merely for the pleasure of driving it and so I can dump $10,000 worth of stuff into it that will only depreciate the value of it further.
