Do You Use Your Truck as a Truck?
Do you tow/haul stuff with it or is it just to get around in? Post pics. of your truck towing/hauling/working if you have them.
I use my truck as a truck. I used to pull trailers all the time and I use the bed all the time for hauling mulch, rocks or whatever.

I use my truck just as my daily driver, i have a tonneau for gas mileage purposes which only gets rolled up if I REALLY need the bed. Now I will be moving into my new house this week and will have to tow a uhaul trailer about 230 miles in a couple weeks.. thats the only real use my truck has gotten in like 2 years lol

Mostly mines a commuter truck. I am a DIYer and I have plenty of work to be done to my house so when it is time to haul, I will be doing it well. I just got this truck, but before that I used my Pontywreck Transplant to haul motorcycles and building material all the time
When I had my 95 Ranger I brought 100 pieces of 1 1/4 x 6 x 8 solid oak 25 miles from a jobsite. I think I dropped the back bumper 6" in that trip. The load started slipping once so I had to jamb the brakes to get it back in place before I could tie it better.

I use mine when i have to but the bed isnt big enough to haul ****, so i always just throw my friend some gas money when i need to move stuff....
My tonneau cover gets rolled up like once a month, alot of people say im paranoid about towing stuff, but ide rather get my trailer for my quad and throw **** in it....But i dont haul stuff in my line of work...

In the past month I have towed a trailer once, hauled a few hundred pounds in it 5-6 times, and been off-roading twice. We moved my brothers whole house and my whole apartment with my FX4 and his Frontier. So yeah, she gets used like she should. She takes a beating every once in a while, but she likes it!!

My poor truck is all f*cked up. 28k miles and she looks like she's got 128k miles. I am a subcontractor and have two other trucks to haul the bigger stuff. My ranger is like the command center lol. In other words it's to sit in and watch my boys work, whilst I'm soaking up the a/c =].
I can't classify mine as a daily driver cuz it only gets driven about three days a week.

it probably wasn't good for the truck.. but i once pulled a dump truck just to see if my truck could actually pull something that big. it made it about 20 feet.. then i hit an incline.. and burned off like 20,000 miles worth or tire. i didn't care about the tires.. my truck was going to get new tires later that day so i figured why not.

Yep i use mine to haul stuff. It's my only means of transport so it is a daily driver, a work truck and just cruise around truck. Don't tow anything with it due to the rear bumper being all mucked up. Besides, don't have anything to tow.
Here's one pic of my truck in action. -Mike-
Sorry this one came out alittle dark, you get the idea.
