Lent it to a few of them. Some I won't let inside of my house never mind my car so them no.

Family yes, friends, not many.

Regardless of whether it's insured or not, it's not worth risking being without a vehicle or losing a friend because something happened and they weren't manning up to take care of it. Then again, I guess they wouldn't really be friends in that case.

It's a truck. It's insured.

Yep. I let my neighbor borrow it when he needs it.

Like Shmike said, its insured.

Family? Sure, until they do something to lose the privilege. My mother borrows my pickup and smoked in it. She can't borrow my vehicles anymore.

OTOH I lent it to a friend, to drive down to Loudon and race.

Good point, if you smoke, you are banned from my shit.

I once kicked a friend out of my car, 100 miles from home, because he lit up after I told him that if he needed to smoke, just ask me and I'd pull over for him. Took him a bit before he realized that I was serious.

I don't lend my truck. I will offer to help and bring the truck, but I won't turn over the keys

I guess this is it. Someone asked my opinion, I would be hesitant only because the person that asked her doesn't take care of their own stuff...

Parents, yes. They have an almost identical truck.
Sister/BIL, hell no. Biggest thing they drive is a minivan. They just don't get big vehicles.

Friends, depends on:
1. how they treat there shit
2. why they want to borrow it
3. If the have experience driving a large vehicle.
4. If they know how to drive a diesel, or at least understand and follow directions when given.

Yes it's just a truck. Yes it's insured. BUT, it's not worth getting it wrecked and possibly hurting someone else cause they couldn't handle driving a vehicle of that size.
