RE: What do you use it for?
Once every few days "daily"... Primarily run errands around town, and then to and from my storage biz a couple hundred miles away every week or so. I know that if I have to move someone's trailer no matter the size, I won't have a problem. But more than anything - just for fun! (I love these Dodge's)

RE: What do you use it for?
I bought mine for my truck, my daily driver. I don't even own a trailer. I had always had half-ton chevys, but always wanted a 3/4 ton. The diesel was just icing on the cake. Always wanted one, but never had it. I figure these trucks go for a long time while being worked pulling heavy trailers. Mine ought to last forever the way I am using it. I just wanted a heavy-duty 4x4 with lots of power and room. I've got it now and couldn't be happier. I don't ever see going back to a gas truck. I am currently looking for an ATV, so maybe a small trailer is in my future. These trucks are just awesome in my opinion, especially on the mountain passes in Colorado. They just go like a bat out of hell!!!!!!

RE: What do you use it for?
It is my daily driver.
I bought a truck because I do aquarium work and I needed something to either haul an aquarium, or a trailer. I also tow my lil toy hauler around during the summer on weekends. Now that my friends all know about my Cummins, I'm constantly asked to haul their trailers as well, though it's really not that often.
We're actually trying to figure out if using a diesel actually IS cheaper what with diesel now going through the roof in costs.

I got mine to show up other boys!!! Just kidding. Pull my 4 ATV's, 6 snowmobiles, TRailers, etc. Oh yeah my 12' plastic boat and my 19' Bayliner. A-ok. But yes- she is my daily driver. And I love her. My boyfriend does same with his Stroker- why we own 2 diesels and no commuter car? I don't know.... I had mine first!

RE: What do you use it for?
USAFR - you crack me up! "My other car" is a ricer - but I don't get offended. Extremes keep 'em guessing...
Mayfair - don't forget to calc in the longer time between rebuilds along with the improved mileage. I had two gasser 4WD third gen's, and their mileage EMPTY was barely 12mpg - so the additional 2mpg at worse, along with longer duty cycle, pencils out to be worth the additonal 5K purchase price for me...
