Question Truck owners

I see a lot of Awsome looking trucks on this site. It's amazing what some of you have done to the trucks. I was just woundering how many of you use the trucks the way that they were designed to be used.

Do you just use the truck to be a daily driver, race truck, tow truck, or do you use the bed. I mean do you load the bed up with trash, yard waste, stone, anything?

I am just woundering because I was asked by a guy at work if I ever hauled any thing with my truck. So I was woundering the same about you guys...

Look at the inside of my bed, and the dents on the side of the bed and that will give you a pretty good answer.

Mine gets used everyday as a daily driver, about 4-500 miles a week, driven all over the country in it, run it down the strip, street race it, dog the crap out of it, haul lumber, atvs, whatever. It is used as a truck for sure.

Mine is my daily driver, my only 4 wheeled vehicle and I do everything with it EXCEPT tow and that only because I have nothing to tow :-(

I used mine as a truck. Granted I never really had to haul alot of stuff. The biggest thing was hauling my motorcycle on my trailer back and forth to school.
