I’ll start. I’ve owned this gal for 14 years. Reliable. Good torque. Simple to maintain and repair. I retired it last year and sits in my garage w 245,xxx miles.

It just tows my boat on weekends now.
 
I have others but cant find them. Hard to find photos sometimes when I have two external drives and the computer full of photos. Give me an aircraft type and I can give you those fast.

2004 Chevy K3500 DRW CC with a Duramax and Allison. Bought her to pull the boat and the tractor if needed. Picked her up with 109k and in the 3 years now we have had her, she is sitting at 114k.

Not a tow rig just did a 2.25” perch lift with BDS upper control arms.
Fuel ken block wheels on ridge grappler 35”’s perfect Florida rig most of the time the top is layed back. Took it to the local car show sat a few Gen 6 broncos and some Gen 1’s fun.
Also a pic of my old 83 bronco loved that truck.

You've all seen her before, but since we now have a thread just for them:

2016 we bought used in 2019 with 55,000 miles. Currently has over 80,000 miles, almost exclusively towing. Eight foot bed, 4x4, Cummins diesel. The exhaust brake is to die for when towing in the mountains (which happens a lot around here). 'Love that truck!
 
I love the looks of those new Broncos but can't bring myself to buy another Ford.
 
You’ve seen it before, 10 new pickups since my first, a ‘76 C-20
They were all bought for work except this ‘21 F-350 so it’s dolled up a little more with all the creature comforts. I’ve added a set of Timbrens to keep the stops off the helpers when towing, a ULS tonneau tool box and a Bakflip F1. The hitch is a 20K B&W Companion. It’s name is Lloyd.

I named my truck “Black Thunder”. I love my truck covers USA American work roll up tonneau cover with the tool box.
 
No, I call that “You Heavy M F’er” when I’m lifting it in or out. Definitely going Goose Box next time.
If you have access to an overhead winch in your shop/garage/carport, get yourself one of these: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Demco/DM6100.html although, at $55, I figure on welding one up from a chunk of water pipe and some scrap iron. I can separate mine into two pieces, but it's still all two of us can do to haul this pig out of the truck.

Or just get an Anderson Hitch.
My truck already had a gooseneck hitch, the Anderson Hitch is lightweight and easy to install.
I'm mad at my truck right now, so no pics.
It's at the shop getting a total engine rebuild. 7.3 powerstroke.
