So who uses their truck the way a truck was designed? - Page 5

No mudding for my baby, it better not have a scratch either.

I am a construction contractor and my Titan is my work truck. I tow a 6'x10'x3' dump trailer with dual axles, and often a crew also. It works hard. I have a few scratches and dings but it gets washed every week.

I need my truck for work about 2 days a week, other days I use it to commute to the office. I am a project manager so I usually only haul around a generator, box of tools, and some cones/delineators. On some occasions I have had to load up a 500-gallon poly tank in the back or a few 55-gallon drums full of solids or liquids. Also have had to tow a water pump trailer (up to ~4500 pounds depending on how much water is loaded on it). The tailgate becomes my desk when at a site and I have hosted a lot of tailgate meetings from my tailgate. All-in-all, it's been the perfect work and commuter truck for my needs. My firm uses F-150s and I have to say that I like the Titan better for my field work mainly because of the wider opening doors and powertrain when loaded.

Two weeks after I bought it, I had 2 loads of 1/2 yard of gravel for concrete... Fishing 1x... camping 1x... hauled my boat about 20x's... picked up a load of firewood... and had one tailgate party! Oh, and also went to a black tie event with the little lady ( truck is still sophisticated enough to go out with it). Not bad for five months of ownership.

I use my CC to haul everything from kids and their hockey gear, to plants for the yard and lots of soil and rock too.
I would never be able to do what I do with my Titan in any SUV.

I'll be using mine for hauling bark, dirt sand and other landscaping stuff, plus taking the mower in for servicing and the inevitable helping friends pick up new furniture and appliances!

It's mostly a daily driver, but I won't hesitate to use it as a truck, and lose no sleep over scratching up the bed...notice I said "bed". Mine didn't come with a bedliner. I've used it to haul trailers, and will be using it to haul a boat very soon(one of the main reasons I bought a truck).

Hey aggiesarge - a friendly WHOOOP from the Heart of Texas!! Like you, I use mine as a daily driver for the most part. No bedliner in mine either and do use it haul "stuff" intermittently. It is nice to have a truck when you need it and not have to grovel and ask to borrow someone's!! Good room in the KC for the wife, 2 children and plenty of other stuff. Have been able to get the entire family, suitcases and gifts in the cab and tool box for trips down to the Houston area for visits to the hometown. Great truck!

Howdy! Nice to see not only a Texan, but a Texan with a Copper Titan! The least common color! I like your toolbox...I plan to add one down the road...

You parked illegally but you will be responsible for towing and other related junk fees they charge you like storage, fuel destination, unloading fees, etc.

I don't know how towing with the two wheels might void your warranty. explain?

If they caused damage, they're responsible. They have control over the situation and thus needs to take action to make sure no party gets affected negatively.

If i wanted a truck, I would have bought a powerstroke...
I bought the Titan to replace our primary vehicle an '03 Chevy crew cab that chevy couldnt fix the transmission in.

its our family "car". atleast we use it like most use a car.(church, trips,groceries etc.)

so far the only thing ive hauled in the Titan is air, and azz.. (pun intended)

If I wanted a stinky black-smoke-emitting brick on wheels with a two piece snap-togethor dashboard with an ancient suspension setup I would have bought a powerstroke.

i use my truck to go camping, fishing, and any other outdoor activities. I also use my truck to deliver jdm motors to my friends. Of course they pay for gas. And I help them install the motor too. So I make money on the side with my truck hehe. I try not to scratch up my truck. But I did noticed some few scratches though. I think its from me taking it to the mountains for some mudding. I use it to make long trips to Nebraska to visit my mom. So its both comfort and luxury to me, haha. But other than that its daily driven, and I do take care of it. Its not like I baby it or treat it like crap. I keep it clean once the work is done. I pretty much use it as a truck.
