Company vehicle always. You'd be stupid not to take advantage of this.

Can't believe people in this thread have to "suffer" driving Tahoes and Sierras for a few hours as their company cars.

Rough.

I knew I'd get beat up over this! I understand my burden of having a company car is a joke. Just wanted to see everyone's thought process on the situation.

Hmm... Should I take my free company car that I don't pay for, or my truck that I pay for and will take the depreciation on??? Garsh!!! Such a hard choice!!

If you / your family own the company (unless I misread), take your truck, enjoy it, and let your accountant figure out the IRS BS.
I used to have a convertible (personal) and a 150 for work. If I knew in advance that I had to drive around for office stuff (clean work, no mud), I'd take the car every chance I got, paid back or not. Driving in something you enjoy = priceless!
