Hello all
It seems my family is the one of the only few in Upper Michigan who own a M35A2. Not suprising due to low population and no air force bases or GL auction lots. After my father and I got our deuce we found most insurance companies and agents up here did not even know what the truck was. We ended up with a commercial policy through State Farm with a 5k mile cap for $600. I believe it is full coverage. Will not allow just liability. Seems like he could have got a better deal. The issue has been compounded due Upper Michigans inflated prices, poor roads, and poor weather.
Browsing around on the web, it seems folks down in Lower Michigan are getting great insurance rates and coverage, even with multiple family members and teen drivers. I believe it is due to the higher concentrations of deuce owners, thanks to the many trucks that have been sold by GL in Lansing, and a need for farm vehicles.
Therefore, we are searching for cheaper insurance downstate. I would appreciate some input on companies or agents that know what the M35A2 actually is and will insure at a cheaper rate, even if it is just for liability.
We could get a commercial policy with no mile cap for $800, which is pretty good (commercial insurance for my buddies new extended cab dually is $3000
) however we do not plan to use the truck for commercial purposes this year.
