I own a feed and farm supply store and I try to pick-up my supplies as often as I can. Saves trucking fees, and gets me out of here for a couple days. Last haul I made I told the guy I wanted around 17,000 lbs of fence post. After straping down my load he told me he made a mistake and he loaded 21,000 lbs on my trailer. Made the 500 mile trip back with no problems. I would like to know how much is too much for this beast.

Daily driver to work everyday......a whopping 3 miles. Used to tow the boat until I sold that money pit. Tows the jet skis to the lake on the weekends and does the occasional Home Depot and Lowes runs. Also use it to haul my big dog around and to smoke ricers, especially the wife's.

Daily driver 5 miles to work, pick up daughter from day care ( get stared at every time I show up). Tow our 10K TT anywhere we want to go. Do the nomal truck work stuff. Show off and brag to some people in my family who drive gasser duges. Its the best truck I ever owned. Only thing I wish I could change is I wish it was a 4 door.

Just about any dang thing I want to. Daily driver because I don't like the little POS S10 sitting in the back that gets 24mpg. Pull my 21ft Skeeter Bass Boat to the lake 2-3 times a week. Pull my 28 foot tag-a-long camper whenever the wife and I can get free weekend. Go to the Outer Banks of NC fishing 2-3 times a year. Haul crap to the dump and more crap home for Lowe's and Home Depot. Haul mulch in and haul off shrubbery clipping. Haul deer stands in and out of the woods and sometimes deer out. Pull trailer loaded with ATV's. See how many heads I can turn going through a crowded parking lot or city street. Oh yeah, the thing that gets the most looks from the neighbors , I use it to pull the garbage can up and down my drive.(long drive, lazy self) Like I said, any dang thing I want to, and just about everything.

What Ryan said!! He captured it clearly.

Ok I have to ask.....how many of you look at the reflection in the windows as you drive in front of the grocery store?

I'll admit it, I do. The truck just looks so bad *** when it's rolling. It's too hard not to look.

Everything, nothing, and who knows tomorrow!!!I just put 2000 miles on her in the last week and half between vacation and moving a niece to the UP. I have had her pulling Mobile homes, pulling log jams out of the local river, cars out of ditches in the winter, hunting, trucks out of the mudholes up north..hauling all of the gear for the annual camping/fishing trip. Or, just using it to put my child to sleep in the middle of the night.

Do i look at it in reflections? If i can see it by looking into a puddle I will...

Daily driver (12 mi). Since cub scouts, webelos, and Boy Scouts is done, don't haul as many tents and kids as I use to. Now just haul family around.

Money Pit, just throwing money into it for PMS relief. $10K just for the BTS trans and rim/tires... and that was in the last 6 months, way more $$ in the last year...

Oh Well, it's just money...you cant take it with you (unless you get buried with your PSD)

Every single time. My favorites are the office buildings that are seemingly all glass, and the dark, black-looking glass, too.

I use it for the Cool-Factor! These trucks are so bad-a$$ and I love em. Yah, looking in window reflections is illegal not to I believe!
I'll be using mine to haul quads, a boat, landscaping, and as a daily-driver. Doing everything when not riding the Harley.

i use mine for hunting, camping, fishing, pulling all sorts of equipment, hauling my rockcrawler/mud race truck, currently my work truck till i can find an old beater.

and lastly i think the oddest thing that i have done usefully with the truck was plowing a 6 acre pasture. the D4 normally used was boring, and dull haha.
oh yeah and i love the look of my truck in those mirror buildings.

Now a question for yall. when you get onto the freeway or pass by some sort of large walll do you hammer down so you can hear the echo of the exhaust. Cause i know i do.
