Even though the economics were way different it still pained me to scratch hell out of my 2014 Jeep the first time I got on a trail that was narrower than the Jeep. But I swallowed hard and reminded myself why I had the thing and never looked back.
I’ve already done that (pax side scratches) to the 110. Did it three months after delivery. It bothers me more than the Jeep, because the Dfdr is a prettier truck, or at least one that looks better dolled up for the symphony. But it is absolutely pointless for me to own the damn thing if I don’t take it off-road; there are much better on-road alternatives for fewer dollars. So I will take it off road and it will get scratched and maybe even banged up a little, and I’ll have to learn to live with it.
As long as I keep it a long time it probably won’t make a lot of difference. What I hope doesn’t happen is that I beat it up a little and then it starts being a POS and I decide to sell it in the next 3 years.

Maybe I have such a low bar after daily-driving my JKUS for 6+ years now, but I dunno.
We use the D110 as a family road trip truckster a lot. Besides the OBX stuff we'll roll across PA to visit family, haul my wife's Ducati on a hitch carrier, or roll up to NYS or to skiing in VT (most recently).
I think it ABSOLUTELY excels in on-road manners for all those trips. It's a dream on the highway, comfortable for the kids, packs plenty, has excellent amenities like cabin lighting, center console fridge, and the clear sight rear view camera so I don't have to give a crap about loading cargo to the ceiling blocking my view.
I think it's one of the best choices.... at least for us.
