Don't know about Allstate.

I originally bought it to have as a spare for my Silverado, but if I can
get that much for it, then the Silverado will have to last a little
longer. It's 10yo old and only has 74k miles on it, so it should last
quite a while. I intended to tow the racecar trailer and race car with it,
but my neighbor died recently and he left a 1989 GMC Suburban behind,
which I've asked his widow (seperated) for 1st dibs on when she gets
around to selling it. He took great care of his umpteen vehicles and
they're all in great shape.
