Daily Driving Tow Vehicles

I work in a city and live in the suburbs. My commute is mixed between catching a bus and driving: I can walk out out my door and catch a local bus to a commuter bus and not drive at all during the week, I can drive 5 miles to the commuter bus and save 30 minutes each way on my commute, or I can drive the entire way and save about 35 minutes each way compared to taking two buses.
In wet weather, I take the two buses and avoid driving at all. When there is snow or ice, I take my tow vehicle to the commuter bus since I live in a hilly area that is not kind to bus service on the local roads. In dry weather, I drive a motorcycle or scooter to the commuter bus. When I do have to drive to work (it's because I have to transport equipment), I take my wife's car and let her drive my tow vehicle.
My tow vehicle gets used at least once week but it is usually over the weekend. With alternative ways to get to work and additional vehicles, I still manage to put 10K miles a year on my tow vehicle going camping or skiing.
