It will be loaded maybe half the time. I only plan to put a couple thousand miles on it per year. The other half of the time I will be venturing the Michigan road ways that are notoriously horrible in something that rides pretty good anyways. For that thousand miles or so that I will be driving it empty per year to me makes it worth it in itself, I'd like to enjoy cruising it. Currently I can run over a dime and tell you if it's heads or tails empty.
