Well Pat I have to agree, you can use a truck as a truck and still treat
it good, a truck that is taken care of will last longer, my '86 Ram is
used as a farm/work truck yet it is still on it's factory paint and except
for a few scratches still looks new, I wash it every couple of weeks and
wax it every couple of months, and after a waxing you can still see
yourself in the paint job. Taking care of a truck will help it last
longer.
