I use mine all the time to haul dirt, compost, plants, and tree limb cuttings like I did yesterday. Drove to the brush collection center and two ladies unloading next to me told me how much they liked my truck. Then on the way home it started missing and running rough, so I pulled into a McDonald's parking lot so I could clean up the fouled spark plugs. One woman leaving yelled, "Fine ride Mister!". A man came over and asked, "Is it a straight six?". It still handles a pretty heavy load with no problem.
