So much hate for the lifted truck driver, maybe I'm the exception. I daily drive a lifted truck on 35s. Considering what new trucks cost and what I paid for mine, I definitely baby it. Maybe some of these comments are aimed at old, rusted out POS trucks and their owners.

and more often than not, the drivers are short fat guys who wish they were still 17, and not often, hard working men.

1. My truck has LED lights, and I can adjust their height via a dial on the dash. I have mine adjusted below the window/mirror line of other vehicles.
2. I'm neither short or fat. Nor do I wish I was still 17. And I'd like to think I'm a hard working man.

3. I don't drink or do drugs, period. Needless to say, I do neither while driving.
4. I do have an exhaust, but it is definitely quieter than any Mustang, riced out import, or Harley Davidson on the road.
5. I don't drive excessively fast. My truck only gets 10-11mpg in the city, 14-15 on the hwy. Why would I intentionally drive in a way that would reduce the already abysmal numbers? Of course, I didn't buy a truck hoping for decent fuel efficiency, and truck owners that complain about gas mileage are just idiots.

6. I am not uninsured, I have a valid license and I am not an immigrant. This sounds more like a Texas problem, not limited to just truck owners.
