Yeah, I am much more picky when it comes to letting people borrow my truck than I am my car, and the car is newer and worth substantially more money. When people want to borrow my car, they just want to get from A to B. Worst thing that can happen is they spill their Starbucks or they&#x27;re a little too hard on the throttle and they burn up my full tank of gas.<p>When they want to borrow my truck, they want to haul things with it. When you&#x27;re hauling with someone else&#x27;s truck, weigh limits don&#x27;t matter because transmissions don&#x27;t usually fail spectacularly the first time you haul 3000 lbs over the towing limit. Frames don&#x27;t get bent and shocks don&#x27;t get blown the first time you load the bed down with 500 lbs too many cinder blocks. What&#x27;s the tongue weight limit on your friend&#x27;s truck? What&#x27;s the bed weight limit? Doesn&#x27;t matter, right? Plus the liability if they don&#x27;t hook up the trailer right, aren&#x27;t using the lights or sway bar, etc. And god forbid they drive it in four wheel drive on dry pavement and wreck my center differential.<p>The very nature of &quot;I need to borrow a truck&quot; is the very reason why I don&#x27;t lend mine out, and likely the reason why renting a truck is so expensive. Driving a rental car hard is nothing compared to driving a rental truck hard.
