One of these has definitely hauled more than the other, and i guarantee you it’s not the ford.

    Washing won’t hide signs of heavy work. Even fresh out from wash work van that has never been used in serious off-road conditions has signs of heavy use after a year of service. Shit happens when you use stuff for work, there will be scratches, small dents and other signs of use—especially on bumpers, truckbeds and rims.

    None of the people I know that use their vehicles for work have their cars in pristine visual condition, unless they’ve just bought it new. Most work vehicles show their scars loud, even if taken good care of mechanically. And most company-owned vans and crew vehicles are rickety old things that are run to the ground, then retired to junkyards.

      Not every truck has been in use for a year. I know most of the time you can tell the difference, but it seems like a bad idea to make assumptions based off of something like that. If you’re a truck owner are you just supposed to live with people thinking you’re an asshole if you recently got a new truck. I would rather take the extra few seconds to ask than put them in that position.
