Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.

[–] redsol2 30 points 1 year ago

My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can't fit in my wife's sedan.

I'm a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y'know?

My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he's like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said "if she's gonna ride a bike in the street, she's gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn't see me"

TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.

[–] instamat 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Welcome to my new segment, You Might Want to Know?

Dodge and Ram are two different brands and product lines. Rams are the trucks, and Dodge makes muscle vehicles.

But as to your point, you're more right than you possibly know!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Knowledge is knowing that Ram is now itcs own brand. Wisdom is knowing only nerds who use federated social media would care. Understanding is appreciating all new content people provide.

Um, ackshually… I know, it’s pedantic 😩

[–] Omen2819 19 points 1 year ago

I always assume they will tailgate me, and so far, I’ve never been wrong.

Only exception is the older Rangers S10s etc that weren’t insanely large. Anything Dodge in my experience is guaranteed.

I also assume they are absolutely God awful drivers.
