Why U have an HD?
 
I figured this would help us get a discussion going. We all Have HD's so what do you use it for?

I am in Construction and use mine as a Work/play truck. I tow enclosed trailers with our tools, and Dump trailers. And a Skidsteer in the Dumptrailer now and then. I got a Diesel because I thought the fuel milage to price was worth it because I drive 50 miles one way to and from work. I also like the resale value of a Diesel, and the longevity of the motor.

When I'm not working I pull around my Z400 ATV, or just race around in my Duramax... P.S. It really doesn't smoke at all with Rob's tunes. All power/no smoke (very little)

So tell your story... Comment on mine... Whatever!

dont need it but wanted it really. i was moving up to a crew cab from my xcab 1/2 ton and could get more room in a f250 than in an f150 for the same money. then diesel due to mileage on the trucks in my price range. that and id always liked diesel trucks.

i do use it and like knowing i can get through or tow most anything i need to which is very nice

I was needing more room and was piddlin on CL onE day and ran across my truck and thought dang thats cheap so i snatched it up and sold my half ton pickup. I really didnt need a hd truck but cudnt beat it for the price

Had a half ton f150 supercrew, drove my PSD for work, started to not drive the PSD for work as often, sold the 150 and I drive the PSD daily now.

I have mine mainly because i love F250's but it gets used to tow vehicles tractors 4 wheelers and so on. Plus they have plenty of room and look great fixed up, you just can beat bigger trucks!

^^^ especially when you have a sexy 5.0 parked next to it so you don't have to always drive a giant truck around town.

LoL yeah, the truck gets drove more though... im a truck person but i do love my stang! I just feel alot safer in my truck :) I pretty much just drive the car to work or the banks (the truck wont fit in the drive thru) once i get some smaller wheels/tires the 5.0 is going to the track this year!!!

Its nice to have something small to drive from time to time but my car payment is more than my house payment... which is crazy!! The new 5.0 is SWEET but i HATE my payment!!!

That's my problem, I refuse to finance a vehicle for the time being. Things are too uncertain in my field of work. If I was booked out 6 months like I used to be I would finance a toy. Mortgage and bills first toys later
