For the first four years of it's life, my truck was daily driven year round. Now we have a 3rd vehicle, but I still DD my truck from April to November.

I use mine everyday and work out of it/haul stuff.
I use both trucks as trucks simple as that.
Load up bricks/paint/machines whatever i need to put in it.
I paint new construction houses for a living so yea my bed is full at all times.

My truck is my DD, whenever I have it to drive. I've been driving a Volvo 240 Wagon all summer. Got to drive my truck for about two weeks total this summer... man I miss it. What's funny is that even people who know me miss my truck.

Should be getting it in the next two weeks. It'll be good to have it back.

Man what responses. It looks like the majority are DD's. The reason I brought this up is because I have (2) 07 GMC's. One reg cab modded and the other is a crew cab slt, no mods. I'm thinking of selling both and getting another cheaper crew cab or extended cab and mod it or buy one already modded. I only work 5 miles from home so I dont put a lot of miles on it so gas mileage is not as critical.
Thanks for all the responses.

Mines not a dd. I have a honda accord as a daily driver. My work is to far to daily drive it. I only use it on the weekends.
