Loaning Your Truck

[Ajsjdjdjfjdtgg]

How many of you guys loan your truck out? I let my girlfriends brother borrow it to move and people are in awe that I'd do it. It's not a show car, it's a bloody truck but then again it is my true love (not the girlfriend hahaha)

As long as it's returned with more gas than when I sent it out than I'm good. I only loan it to people that I know would fix anything they break and are good drivers.

NEVER loan my truck to anybody, family or not. I am the one who paid for it, and I pay the insurance for it. If you loan your truck out and they crash it, is the person you loan it to going to buy you a new one and pay your increased insurance rate in the future?.....Just something to think about before giving somebody your truck to use.

My truck is a tool just like any other in my toolbox. Sure I loan it out to close friends. I have to laugh at those that put the Bras, door protectors, and wind deflectors, etc. Makes the truck look ugly while you own it, and probably causes as much damage in abrasion/discoloring as not using them.

 

Now my 1977 Porsche 911S is another story entirely <grin>.

Yeah I loan my truck out. All my friends basically come take it if im noit using it. Its not like the are going to hurt it. If something breaks on it, it would have broken no matter who is using it. Its only a truck after all

Nope. I'll be happy to help someone move something for the right price but no way in hell are they driving it.

Completely depends on who is asking. My truck is my daily driver and only means of transportation for me and my kids. I cant afford it to be down in time or money due to negligence....Accidents can happen to anyone, some are just more prone to them than others.

[Porter_]

nope. i'd either offer to help them move or offer to give them the $40 to rent a u-haul, if they couldn't come up with the money themselves. i've found that most people (even good friends) just don't respect other people's property.

So far I haven't let anyone else but me drive my truck let alone lend it out.

I typically don't like people driving my vehicles, but I did loan my Yukon to my Dad when it was a week old. I cried the whole time it was gone, but I know my Dad wouldn't intentionally hurt it.

[Ajsjdjdjfjdtgg]

well, a huge thunderstorm rolled through the area and this guys driving my truck through it. im sweating big time. theyre an hour and a half away. this sucks

[Mckenzie]

Only my dad is trusted to drive my truck. But my room mate did steal it and take it for a spin one time...

[DoMDrty]

No

[cracked_up]

Dad can use it if necessary, after all I drove his vehicle for years when I wasn't allowed to have my own...

 

Yes I grew up in a time before kids all had to have their own vehicle. Actually had to work for what I have.

 

Thanks mom and dad for teaching me to be responsible! And also to appreciate and take care of what I have.
