This is a tricky answer, but no. Bandit left the truck and the Firebird Trans Am with Big Enos so as not to be caught with either bootleg beer or a wanted car. Aside from Big Enos's ability to talk, pay, or bribe his way out of anything, none of the illegal items could be traced back to him. The illegal beer would have been confiscated (and it was already paid for). The truck and Firebird would have been impounded as evidence. The Firebird would have been registered to the Bandit and the truck to Cledus. The truck is the only real casualty as Big Enos gave Bandit his Cadillac in place of the Firebird Trans Am... and the money won was to replace the truck anyway.
actually it was bandits truck, he had it at the rodeo at the start of the movie and bought transam witht he seed money form big enos.

Nothing. This was not a bet, it was a challenge (basically Big Enos's ego against The Bandit's legandary status). Big Enos hires Bandit, with money for a car as the down payment and the rest of the money (to buy a new truck) upon successful, on time delivery. If Bandit did not return on time, Big Enos gets to keep his money and gets bragging rights for defeating the legend of The Bandit.
Sheriff Justice was only after the Bandit.
At the time this movie was made (and currently, in fact), Coors Beer was un-Pasteurized, meaning it had to be kept refrigerated. Because of the expense of refrigerated haulers, Coors would not transport their beer to the east. Thus, it could not be sold there.
It was PG when it was originally released.
Smokey was CB slang for the police, especially state troopers who would often wear Smokey the Bear-style hats.
