I work for the US Forest Service. The SD serves many roles- horses, dirt bikes, camp trailer, snowmobiles, firewood, kiddos all get hauled around. Occasionally we'll all just hop in and go for a spin too.

I'm an Outreach/Projects Coordinator for a non-profit company in the fall/winter/spring and I longline for halibut in the summers commercially. My truck is a daily driver and I also use it for hunting, moving pallets of bait/salt, and for hauling wood sometimes... I've used it to tow my Dad's 32' aluminum boat a few times as well.

I'm a Firefighter. The Superduty does a few things.

1. Looks damn good in the firehouse parking lot.
2. Get's me to and from the firehouse.
3. Get's groceries.
4. Get's me to and from my favorite (insert outdoor activity here) spot.
5. Hauls the occasional load of whatever project I have going on at the house.

I'm a fulltime firefighter and a part time landscaper so my truck pulls my 12' landscape trailer during the warmer months. It also pulls my 26' Four Winns Vista Cruiser boat several times a year. Finally, it serves as my daily driver.

I was working as an underground diesel tech at the zinc mines until they shut down in jan. Now i'm back to my old job as a welder fitter/fabricator.

My SD sees the weekly trip to the steel co. Its a work in progress in becoming a tow rig/pull truck/drag vehicular/ work truck/ off road truck/ play toy.....oh yeah and my daily driver.

I'm a Defense Contractor for the USAF at the moment. I have worked with the Army in the past and my SD has gotten Me, my Family and our stuff (TT and most of our household goods) to and fro about every state in the US. We finally are settled in VA and mainly use the SD for towing the TT, hauling the brush I contiune to clear off our land and take me or the wife to work when I have to bring one vehicle down for maintenance.

I work for a Industrial Tire Co. It mainly just my everday driver but is nice to have the ability to pull or haul when I need to with ease.

Own & operate a construction company by day & haul whatever I can hook to my truck by night. By the way I haven't hooked to anything that I wasn't able to pull yet.
