Multiple purposes, in this order...

1st, Hobby as in building, fixing, whatever. I spend EVERY saturday all day in my garage. Got radio, TV, and a kegerator. So I'm all set

2nd, Daily driver, 30 miles each way to/from work.

3rd, Wheeler. Mostly rocks at URE, sometimes local muddy powerline trails

4th, to insure I don't stay married for too long.

MUDDING... imo you have to hate your truck to go mudding, cause you can never get it all out and it just causes rust.

pulled/winched out a stuck snow plow truck.

Pulled out of a ditch a stranded mini van.
tows my 17' ski boat.

towed (stretched capabilities) my Ford 1520 tractor on 10k car hauler trailer to cut trails at deer camp an hour away - guessing I was towing 6500 lbs. Done it 3 times with ease. My AEV coils and bumper hitch receiver amazed me. . I don't do this anymore now that I have a new GMC tow vehicle.

Ripped a tree trunk out.

Raccoons partied in it one night when left out with top off.

post more as I think of more
