I own a 98 Dodge Ram and my truck has seen quite a crazy time over the past 10 years. It started out as a sparkling clean machine that I first learned how to drive in. Freedom was the open highway and I would usually be found in the road to and from the beach with my surfboard in the bed.

Then came college and I started to play a lot of music. The bed was full of guitar and drum on a weekly basis and we traveled all around the California coast playing shows, so the Dodge really held up when we needed it to. The amount of friends, girls, and randoms that piled in and out of that truck has really left its mark. Who knows what some people have spilled in the cab of that truck :)

The next phase that came after college was my first full-time job, and I had a construction landscaping job. It paid pretty well, but my truck got even more beat up.

So where it stands now, there has been several years of wear and tear inflicted on my truck and the resale value is not looking so good. I’d like to purchase a new Dodge Ram and I’m going to be sure to take better care of this one now that I’m older and have more vehicle ownership experience. Here are some ideas that I’m going to be sure to do, to help protect the value of my new truck over the forthcoming years:

- Get a truck bed liner to line the bed and inner rail areas. I still play music and load all sorts of materials in and out of the bed every week. With a bed liner, I can protect the bed from scratches and dings, so down the road I will have a shiny conditioned bed. This will help preserve the value of the vehicle.

- Find a truck tool box that’s the right size for where the bed meets the cab. I have created all kinds of dings inside my truck and in the bed over the landscaping years and a nice and tidy tool box would help me tremendously. And, it will lessen the damage that I will likely put on my new truck.

- A set of truck seat covers to cover the seats. So no matter who jumps in or out of my vehicle, I will have a protected interior. If I decide to sell the truck down the road, I can simply remove the seat covers and the seats will look as good as new!
