Yeah I've been "offroading" twice. basically I follow my friends with their FJ cruiser and Xterra, wait on the sidelines, and pull them out when their stuck. Of course along the road theres a couple light puddles I've gone through, and I made a sig pic out of the one time I managed to get mud on the body. but i don't think that would explain any the issues with the truck. On top of this, my friend has never needed a repair on his xterra (2003 supercharged model.) He literally hasn't spent a dime on anything other than oil changes and a set of tires, doesn't even run the thing on premium fuel like the thing says on the dash, manual, gas cap, etc. Same deal with the FJ. Both of these kids didn't even clean their trucks off after the trip! they left them covered in mud for weeks. I was underneath the Silverado, soaking wet, hosing down every bit of the thing that night! I go far beyond to try and maintain this thing, and it is still unreliable.
I use it for work too, landscaping, pulling a trailer, starting and stopping a lot. I've also brought it to Atco and raced it. I'll admit I'm hard on it, but i don't think I should have problems with half of the stuff I do considering what I use it for. One trip to atco and two times down the same trail shouldn't cause everything to break.
There is a serious lack of quality in this truck. Believe me, I do like driving it when it works. It has decent power and ride without a trailer, passengers, or cargo. People constantly are talking about how great the quality is in American Trucks. Not this one. If pulling a relatively light weight trailer, taking your "off road package" truck off the road, and flooring it for a quarter mile all hurt the thing this bad, to where it is making me completely broke, then I gotta say I am really, truly disappointed and I sure as hell won't be buying another.
