    My truck gets a pretty good workout each year towing a variety of trailers/cargo. I make 10+ trips per year with a flatbed hauling building materials(rock, lumber, cement, etc.) mostly up into the mountains. I make 2-3 trips per year(24K+ GVW) for alfalfa hay. I deliver 50-75 yards of composted horse manure to my friends for use in their gardens each spring. Depending on our horse show schedule I will make between 15-20 trips per year to quarter horse shows in WA, ID, OR, MT, BC. In the summer the horse trailer stays hooked up most of the time as we are either going to a show with the yearlings or hauling the oldsters to a local trail ride.

    Who the Hell do you think you are??? You know nothing about Ben. Dont think you can come on this site and start bashing guys with nicer trucks than yours. Ben is a good friend of mine and a helluva great guy. Just because he doesnt tow as much as you do doesnt mean you can judge him. Sorry if I am getting a little upset but I dont take kindly to people bashing my friends when they dont know Anything about him.

    Probably 90-95% of the miles on my truck are towing a 5th wheel RV.

    A couple of times a year pulling my Jimmy on trips (5 times this year) and so far about 7 times pulling a bumper pull or a gooseneck hauling the wife's horses. unfortunately, all the trailers were borrowed. I need to buy one soon (for the Jimmy of course).
