Eh, lots of people in my area use 250s offroad, but only to go up hollers and gather cut wood or drop salt licks and such. Not for entertainment or sport, just work. I try to keep my F150 free from dents and dings, and I do use it like a van for the family, but I got it because I wanted to haul stuff, not for play. (Also, one can fit quite a few 8ft 2x4s or similar in a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee if one isn’t afraid to rest boards on the dashboard in the middle… hence the truck, got paranoid I’d be pulled over)
So the guy who bought that truck bought a list of capabilities without ever intending to use them for that. He just wants to know he can if he wants to. (He never will.)
I say that with some confidence because duallies are awful for off roading, but great for towing and hauling. Off road tires are awful for towing. They’re awful for daily driving. They’re really bad for anything that isn’t strictly off road. This truck is in every way a pain in the ass, but it makes it’s owner feel a certain kind of power, and that’s what he’s willing to fork out the cash for.
