Default Who here actually owns a truck?

Well after talking with many people that own a truck and say they will never abuse their truck or afraid to haul anything with it. When I hear that it pisses me off like ok why do you own a truck then. I have 4x4 so I can use it I have a bed so I can haul stuff how many of you guys on here actually use your truck what it was intended for? I haul wood,dirt,rocks,scap metal,atv. Im curious to see who does lol post up some pics if you want Also im in need of new shocks , Recommended brand something HD?


Yes she is abused and used but thats what I have a truck for

i feel like we had a thread like this awhile ago......

but yeah i actually bought my truck because i needed something to haul my quad around. Of course its seen other duties, hauling a close to 1 ton of rock, dirt, yard debris, moving etc. BTW i still find it funny i paid more than double for my quad than i did my Dakota!

I have a 99 dakota, 4x4, 5.2, 5 speed. In the winter I do sidewalk snow removal in Toledo, Ohio and haul close to 2000 lbs on a regular basis. It's mostly bags of salt and snow blowers and shovels. It hauls it just fine but it does squat alot. I'm planning on putting air bags on the truck this fall before the winter.

Here is the only picture I have of my truck doing some actual work. I had to haul in some sand for the kid's sandbox, and to put under the new pool.
