Like I'm taking my $60.k truck off road.
I go for a coffee every day at 2.
The drive thru has a pot hole..that's my off roading.

Do I need a truck probably not but it is sure easier to haul stuff, where I would need to take the trailer when I had my Wrangler. I still have a trailer as my truck is not built to handle one ton coal bags, or long boards.

I bought it to use, to take me wherever I need to go.....

It has crossed many a washout:

Quite a few miles in 4Lo, climbing rocky switchbacks up to 9000 feet elevation where the good hunting is:

Yes, I'm driving on a road that appears on a map...but when spring runoff happens, sometimes the road is also a stream bed:

Equipped with a rear locker, these are amazingly capable rigs!

I have had my Chevy Silverado since new in 2007. It has almost 110,000 miles on it now and more than 100,000 of those miles were put on it while towing or hauling. I have other vehicles for other duties but my trucks are for hauling or towing.

I use my truck most weeks for hauling stuff and then towing the boat and other trailers at least monthly as well as several weeks of off roading in the sand down in Hatteras NC every year. My truck is a tool not a cowboy Cadillac.
