THe reallity is, all kinds of guys (usually just out of school) buy a nice new truck, with the intension of keeping it nice and having it for the long term. THEN they find out it is more than they can afford. Usually not the pmnts, but the insurance gets jacked . . or they loose that cool new job, or have to move to NY (or ?)

Anyway, hardly anyone uses a truck as a truck. . .if they do, it will be obvious.. . even after a few months abuse.
