I don't know if this is common everywhere, but out here in the rural suburbs of the Midwest, young men have taken to driving these huge diesel trucks. The louder they are, the more exhaust smoke they emit, the faster they are seems to be goal.
What shortcomings are these guys trying to compensate for.?

You need to be heard before you are seen/turn the corner. Whores want their pussy wet from the loudness of your car from the sidewalk.
I don't think they are compensating for anything. Trucks are a big deal in Texas. They look really bad ass lifted and with rugged tires.
It probably drops more panties than a sports car
YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, the motor home is the best cruiser. Full bar, bed, shower, shitter, sound system...
Brains.
that is easy they are compensating for the simple fact that their lives arent worth living. my life, in contrast, is worth living. im the most interesting man in the world
have any of you fucked kim bassetter? i dont think so. have any of you hung out with mickey jagger and keef richard? i dont think so. have any of you watched sally ryder eat space lesbian box while shotgunning pabs blue ribbon? i dont think so
i win
They think trucks are chick magnets?
This is what Dr.PhilDOT drives around. Definitely over compensating
If dr Phil drives a weeener mobile - then he has my complete respect. Lol!
I wonder if he parks that sausage in the rear...
It’s probably to draw attention just like there are young people that have unnecessarily loud sound systems in their car that can be heard blocks away and make the car shake from the bass – and also I see young people put EXTREMELY loud after-market mufflers often in small Japanese cars that make so much noise it can rupture and ear-drum – all probably for “hey look at me”.
Hey Mikeya I think Dr.philDOT lives in back of the Oscar Meyer Weiner factory I've seen that vehicle parked in the alley in back of the plant I always wondered what they were doing in there but the windows are covered with mustard , HMMM
This is what they think:
Draw attention but they can pretend they have it for utilitarian purposes.
It only makes sense to have a diesel truck when you need to haul stuff around as that is how many make their living in rural areas. It's not like they have to get in their Prius and go the office every Monday-Friday or run to Starbucks fagging out on each other. Plus diesels last much longer and likely will last 500k- 1 million miles if properly taken care of. City folks are mostly pussies. The one exception I have are the ones with lifted trucks. Those guys are seriously compensating, but not if you have a regular truck for useful purposes.
Meat is exactly right. Down here in the south, especially in the country and rural areas, diesel trucks are often used to haul equipment and tools since many of them do manual labor in order to provide for families. As far as the lifted truck, they are mainly for those young redneck types that like to go mud bogging.
Mini Coopers are cool, so are Mazda Miata's, Fiat 500's, and Smart Cars.
People like the big vehicles and the cars with lots of engine power and lots of rubber, because they are more wasteful.

We have guys like that all over Asheville
There are two to three trucks like that in the parking lot where I work.
The right pickup truck is a chick magnet, or so my cousins who grew up on a farm who are still single say. Frankly I don't get it.
This is what I have found to be true:
We call the Red Necks
I wouldn't buy a truck, but I understand why people do. I wouldn't buy a prius or a mini cooper and I have no idea why anyone would.
I don't really have a Mini Copper. It was a joke. I drive a Lexus
"I drive a Mini Cooper"
Too late, I have you beat, I own a baker's dozen of smart cars!
The biggest! bing.com
They don't make these anymore. I think it is still only 19,500 lbs gross. And it has to be a third party bed, as I believe it still has to be under 6,200 curb weight with the bed off, to be classified as light truck. So I believe it is still only a class C license required.
Bed is considered part of the load.
I think it is still the same weights as Ford 550 or Dodge 5500.
But this GM version of the past had a wider cab and wider front track.

Pickup trucks are supposed to be a general purpose type vehicle. So it is right that they not be too big. If you want to handle larger or heavier loads, there are more specialized vehicle types available.
That Kodiak by Monroe was clearly a cartoon vehicle. Best that it is not being made any more.
The one ton doubles are quite big enough, to be the largest non-chassis cab offered by the manufacturers.

the big tired trucks are the jacked up 'street rods' of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Since many smaller off the lot cars are quite fast and the reckless driving and speeding ticket are so expensive this is the route many have chosen. Not to mention the fact that building an off the lot car up into a true street rod now a days if incredibly expensive with the electronic updates and components you must buy to be successful. Truck engine chip upgrades are relatively cheap. Auto upgrades require special many times street illegal systems that must be purchased, installed and tuned by specialized suppliers. Gone are the days of just slapping heads and a bigger carb on your street rod to get improved performance. Anyone with basic knowledge and tools can put a suspension lift on a pickup and big tires and a chip upgrade is easy.
I agree with jackslash.
