I have a habit of keeping every vehicle I buy for A LONG time. I've had my truck the longest. I keep them in good condition, by not abusing them, and my truck is no different I haul stuff like furniture, mulch, rock, etc, but I take precautions to not cause undo damage to the bed, just like all my vehicles. Also, I make sure to not Boyce it off any trees or rocks on my small farm. Enjoy them, respect them, and don't abuse them.
