You may be able to offset that judgement by keeping your truck slathered in mud and always having at least five ladders hanging off it. Says, “Shut up, I actually use this!”
Honestly just having the bed be dinged and/or dirty is plenty to me.
It’s absurd the number of trucks I’ve seen where the bed liner looks brand new, never used, on a 5-10 YO vehicle. No body damage, not even a scuff on the tailgate.
Sure it IS possible to regularly use a truck as a truck and be so careful as to not cause any damage, but it’s incredibly unlikely.
