What will last longer, a car or a truck?
"Which one will last longer on the road: a car or a truck? Settle a debate for me. It is time to buy a new vehicle. I want a truck, but the wife wants a car."
Shannon Martin · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“This is a debate that people have all the time! People who love trucks swear that they last longer than cars. People who prefer cars say cars last longer. The truth is, it depends.
Cars are primarily used as daily drivers, while trucks tend to be used for work. This results in more thorough and regular maintenance for trucks, while cars get neglected.
Bottom line, as long as you take care of the vehicle, either choice will work. Good luck!”
