Charlie bought Billy Black's truck for Bella when she decided to move to Forks to live with him. It was a gift to show his appreciation for her moving in.
Due to the fact that she choose to live with her dad (Charlie) to let her own mother (Renee) travel with her new husband Phil .
But Bella was hesitant to like it at first, worried that it would cost too much money to keep up. For the fact that it might be in "bad condition", but as soon as she saw it, she knew it was the perfect car/truck for her.
So one day Bella thought about ramming Edward's Volvo with her truck when he set it up so that Tyler would ask her to the spring dance. Both Edward and Charlie were worried about the truck making the trip up to Seattle from Forks, though Bella only worried about how much gas it would take. Then the truck eventually "died" before the beginning of Breaking Dawn' (book, but wasn't shown in the moivie), and it was replaced when Edward lent Bella a Mercedes Guardian (which was obessed over by some toursits. They took pictures with it and later thanked Bella for the opportunty), and later a red Ferrari in which was test driven byJacob in Breaking Dawn.
