Underworked 6.7

So after reading a few things here and there i'm thinking i don't work this 6.7 Diesel hard enough. Pulling the toy hauler 5 times a year is why i bought it in the first place. the rest of the time it pulling a small landscape trailer at most. My concern is that it isn't getting the workout it needs on a weekly basis. Thoughts and ideas on this ??? I know i don't go through a lot of Def using it like i do.

If it's not sitting around idling a lot it's ok.

A buddy of mine drives a 2011 F350 for the railroad. He has almost 300k miles on it, a ton of idling and the only issue he has had was a failed turbo at 95k miles which was common for the 2011. I also have a few buddies that drive them from construction site to construction site, never pulling and lots of idling. The 2012 got a turbo but the 2013 has been flawless. Both over 200k miles. These are all full emission trucks. I was hesitant to buy mine but it seems everyone I know personally with them have not had any issues.
