I picked up my 92 f350 diesel crew cab for hauling a 5th wheel camper
and for gathering and hauling barrels of waste veg oil. I needed the
crew cab with three young'uns.

I do enjoy the flatbed, makes loading and unloading things a lot easier.
I don't drive it around town much, I've had semi trucks with a better
turning radius and without a load on, it's a bit rough on whats left of
my spine I couldn't imagine using one of these tanks as a daily driver.
And this old beast wasn't expensive, I only have about 5 grand in it (
there's no way I'd even consider dropping 30 grand on a pickup truck,
you could buy a used semi with a small engine and convert it to an rv
for a whole lot less money and get better fuel milage )

I just gotta ask,
What do you guys "need" these huge expensive trucks for? I feel
trucks were intended to be used for work. Trucks with back seats cost
more to purchase and run, lengthen wheelbase resulting in lousy
turning radii and were intended to haul your tools, equipment,
materials and work crew.
I'd like to see a list of truck owners and how each uses it.
Who wants to head off the list?
How about a second list for SUVs?
I'll start that one.

I was away from home for 4 months, working and my wife's 300SD was
having problems that I couldn't address at that time.
We live in the Adirondack Mountains where the Winters are long and
hard, the terrain is, ugh, mountainous. Neither one of us cares much
for SUVs. The Jeep was purchased as a temporary measure and is now
for sale as we intended. We're starting to build a house and plan to
buy a small Toyota pick-up (without a back seat) for general material
hauling. Larger items will be delivered by the seller or I can borrow
a larger truck from any one of many who owe me big favors, if needed.
The Toyota truck will also be used for transportation when the
circumstances dictate. Our MBs will not be driven through snow,ice
and salt if we can help it.
