Your boyfriend seems to be a down to earth individual. A Power Wagon is not the most sensible vehicle for day to day driving. I drove mine for about 10 hours one day and while I drive lift trucks for a living, I was sore as all get out the next day.
HOWEVER, this truck will do what few others can do. If a blizzard rolls in, it'll get through. If you want to go morrel hunting way out in the boondocks (morrels are mushrooms that some people go ga ga over, myself, I can't tell a good one from a poison one and will pass on them). If you move furniture and need to move a baby grand piano, it won't even make the truck squat down.
It has an attitude, which I guess you've already noticed, and is tough as nails. I've pulled many a friend out of the mud, once two at a time. This truck also shows that your boyfriend is not a sheep following blindly in the steps of others or willing to give up if things get a bit tough. If your relationship gets a bit rocky at times, you can be sure he'll probably stay by you.
Lastly, the advantage of this type of hobby is if he's out working in the garage, you know where he is and he isn't out chasing skirts.
