All of the trucks were used for my business as a General Contractor. All were driven hard and were almost always over GVWR every day, except for the latest F450 which scales at 12,200 with my tools in it. Most were used in the Race or Extreme settings the majority of the time. All had full gauges. All were required to tow both flatbed equipment trailers and 14k dump trailers, as well as haul over 2500lbs worth of tools in the bed 90% of the time.

The Excursion was my wife's ride and saw the least abuse from work, but the most abuse from towing our Travel trailer.
