Rules for my truck are
-Seat belts at all times. I don't care if we're going right around the corner. If you don't put one on you will find yourself thrown to the floor to demonstrate why one is needed if I catch you not wearing one.
-I have final say of what is played in the truck. You can mess with the radio as long as its not so loud you can't have conversation unless the song calls for it. And if you play something I don't like it will be changed.
-My girlfriend gets shotgun regardless of who is in the truck aside from my mother. Other than that shotgun goes to whoever calls it first
-Absolutely NO smoking. That pretty much sums up that
-If you eat in my truck you better clean it up. I slacked off on that one to find a couple days after someone left Taco Bell in a bag in the back of a seat. It smelled terrible. So that one gets strict again.
-I used to do the feet on the mats but the rear mats slide so much and the back middle doesn't have one so that had to go.
-Don't criticize my driving. You don't like it you can find another ride.
-Don't tell me where to go unless I ask
-You may not roll down the window unless you have a great reason. Even then I will be the one to roll it down as my windows stay locked at all times. I can't stand when people yell at pedestrians.
-Excessive profanity or pervertedness is not allowed either. If you can't talk like a civilized human then you'll be finding a different ride.
-Talking crap about Ford is not tolerated. If you love Dodge, Chevy, GMC, Nissan, Toyota, etc. more than Ford that is fine. But trash talking Ford (especially F-150's) while in my truck will not be tolerated.
I think my rules aren't too much to ask. I extend most to whatever vehicle I am driving if I have to drive another family member's vehicle. Occasionally I have to drive my brothers dodge because it seats 6 as opposed to 5. There my girlfriend gets front seat middle end of story.

Yeah...rules...ok. I haul heavy trailers down rough dirt and gravel roads. Have had over 2 tons of gravel loaded in the bed. But worst of all, for the truck, I have 3 young kids. I love my truck and maintain it as well as I can. But Lord those kids take a toll on my truck (and it's driver 
).
Rules:
-NO SMOKING! ( I can be driving 70 on the freeway, windows up, AC on. If the car 100 feet in front of me has a lit cig in it, I can smell it.)
-Seatbelts must be worn.
-Food and drinks are ok, but be careful and clean up after yourself.
-No fighting.
-Don't make me come back there!

Has anyone mentioned pulling on the door handles before the truck is unlocked and letting them slap back against the door? Huuuuggeeee pet peeve!! They do it two or three times until you finally unlock it.

Thanks Mom. I realize all of the above points are accurate. I guess just don't get in my truck and you'll be fine.
In my defense- quitting is right around the corner. Today is my last official smoker day. It's more difficult than most realize, especially since I've been doing it longer than some forum members have been alive
