Would you let her?
I am about 1 week away from departing CONUS. I am heading for SW Asia for a year as a civilian contractor.
My wife recently told me she really likes driving the F-250. It makes her feel very secure and safe when driving down the road. I told her she could if she wanted to, just try to keep it clean.
My question; Would you let your wife drive your truck if you had to go away for a year?

Unless you feel she would be a menace to herself and to society, tell her to have at it. No vehicle gets better just sitting, and it wouldn't send a very good message about mutual trust if you won't trust her with a truck.

Absolutely she should drive.
Here's a suggestion - if she hasn't been a part of the service/maintenance process at your local dealer take her there and introduce her to the service manager. I've had a couple of bad experiences when I didn't do this where my wife felt she was being talked down to because she's a woman. Let her build some trust with the service department before you go so there's no concerns get the truck serviced/fixed.

Ever hear that Carrie Underwood song?
Dont make your lady mad.
So long as she is comfortable driving the truck I say let her. My wife drives mine here and there but always parks in BFE because she cant judge the size as well. Suits me just fine!! Its not going to do the truck any good to just sit there for a year unless you plan some storage maintenance items.
Disclaimer - this message will self destruct just in case you return to find your truck wrapped around a pole. In that case I never said it was OK.

At least not my wife. For 2 major reasons:
At least not my wife. For 2 major reasons:
- She cannot park close enough to her destination. If they let her park inside the store, she would!!!
- She is unable to keep a vehicle clean enough for my tastes. She has no problem keeping the house clean, but when it comes to a vehicle...different story!
