BRO! I worked for a paving company years back and the business manager had this raised modified to all hell f350 (trash). He'd get it washed every week, rarely used it for actual work other than dragging a trailer and it CONSTANTLY broke down. Damn thing was impossible to load anything but buckets cuz the bed was as high as my friggin nipples (lol).

Bonus Question: Guess how tall he was

My dad would always use the profits from growing tobacco on a new truck every other year...

One year he bought a new truck while we were actively putting the crop in a barn.

Truck was less than 48 hrs old and he was trying to pull a fully loaded wagon across a creek to get to a barn.

With brand new wet tires, he couldn't get out of the creek. So at like 11 years old I got to watch him put a brand new truck sideways into a tree because he was too proud to unhook and let someone else pull the wagon thru the creek. But he still got it in the barn.

He wasn't even that pissed, because the only reason to buy a truck, was to use it for actual truck shit.

I recently lost my '05 f150 that I used for work to frame rot, so I got a '17. I've put two holes in the bed, through the bed liner, and I haven't even been treating it that bad. It's almost as though Ford doesn't want you to use it for work harder than carrying your yeti between kids baseball games.

Hell, I probably use my car more than those people. Especially after it got hail damage, ALL illusions of "not scratching it" went out the window.

I'm not driving business clients around; my car is a tool to help me get shit done, especially when I traveled for work

I would love to have a truck (because strapping a mattress to the roof of your car isn't the best), but I make what I got work lol

my fucking e-bike is less pristine than these things
