    I have had them chew on wiring more than hoses. They seem to prefer Dodge over Ford and favorite is any extension cord that is out more than couple days.

    Seeing a rabbit work thru the jacket/insulation on extension cord and get zapped is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

    You could run a hotwire around your truck, but it would probably be annoying to connect and disconnect one side every time you arrive/leave.

    Park in a shallow pool of water and keep muck boots in the truck?

    Perhaps you could build a scaffold and drive up onto it, then lift the ramps every time. Same idea as a shallow pool, but less wet and just as expensive and tedious to build.

    We've used chicken wire under the engine when parked to great effect.

    There are multiple methods of take. Slingshots are underrated.

    I was just going to post this suggestion. This is standard fair for parking in wildland areas all over Canada. The rocks and sticks are overkill. Make it difficult and they just move on.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    I think I saw a rabbit last week in my neighborhood for the first time in years. Just imagine, I could have a squirrel AND rabbit army.
