I am a floor covering installer. Pickup bed is usually full of tools and 12' rolls of carpet. Evenings I do some back yard mechanic work to pay for my horse related activities. Once the weather gets better(12 inches of snow last night) I will be hauling my horses most every weekend for 4H or trail riding. Sundays I load up the family for church.
My Super Duty gets a workout 7 days a week.

I farm in NW Iowa. The truck hauls seed, pulls wagons etc. During the summer months I tow an IMCA modified to local dirt tracks to race. The trailer is a little too large for the 5.4 but it does a pretty good job towing. I tow approx. 5000 miles per year. 2001 F-250 170,000 miles

Own a construction business specializing in rental maintenance. I also do alot of work for a few HOAs. I am in the process of getting my body shop off the ground, built the shop and have it almost finished, but with the construction dont have much time to mess with the shop.

I run a business over the internet buying and selling motorcycles and parts via ebay... I generally go to houston and/or dallas to pick bikes up about once a week, usually pulling a trailer with a few bikes on it, and one or two in the bed... i really cant complain about it, cant think of much else i would rather be doing! haha

Own a construction company. Just purchased an '09 F350 chassis cab V10 6spd that is out right now getting a dump body put on. It will replace my current '79 F350 dump truck 400 4spd. I hope to get 30 years out of the '09

I travel the SouthEast rigging in/out medical equipment, mostly CT scanners, x-ray rooms, and cardiac cath labs. If you've ever been in one - I hope you're healthy!
I average 8-900 miles/week with a 20' trailer loaded with rigging gear and tools or a 36' fifth wheel cargo trailer loaded with a system on it, weight can get around 16K. Plenty for my 250 but it handles it like no other truck I have tried. The SD's rock.
I'll be in FL and LA the next eight or so days. Honk if you see a trailer with R&A Motorsports on it!
I have made it common knowledge to my dealer that I'm trying to blow up the 6.4 before it goes out of the 200K warranty I purchased. So far, it's been darn good so take the nay-sayers with a grain of salt!
BTW, I probably have less than 5,000 miles on my truck without a trailer attached to it. I turned 80,000 last week.
