No, I don't believe most diesel trucks were designed to be used like a semi-truck. They are designed and marketed to be used for hauling everything from boats, to campers, to equipment and things of that nature.How so? They pull heavy shit all over the country every day. Thats what diesel trucks were built to do isn’t it?
I know there are a lot of posers who lift them, put wheels and tires on them and use them like a soccer mom. If a hotshot truck isn’t used how a diesel truck was meant to be used, I am going to have to rethink a lot of stuff.
I would venture to guess that less than one percent of diesel pickups are used the way you do. I'm not saying you're wrong for doing what you do, just that there are a lot more people out there using diesel trucks for a lot of other things.
