What's with all the hate for lifted trucks, especially diesels?
Seems like a lot of people just despise the guys with diesel trucks if they don't use every remaining ounce of GVRW or pulling power everyday. Some guys just prefer the sound and feel of a bigger truck with some compression ignition for power. They also have larger cabs and beefier components and may hold up better in an accident. And so much easier to make power with tuners etc. I don't condone rolling excess coal but the tunes these days are getting much cleaner and the cops are cracking down. Anybody can be an idiot, you don't need a diesel blowing black smoke to be one.
A lot of guys are also judging others on driving diesels because they are so pricey to purchase and maintain. How does that affect them? Not in the least. It's not like you're paying their bills.
And as for lifted trucks that aren't raced in the baja or mudded every weekend, why the hate there? I kind of relate it to turbo'd sleds. Most guys who are boosted sure as heII aren't racing hillclimbs or pulling gnarly chutes everytime they're out. And that's no biggie, more power to you, literally.
I agree there are guys out there who are dumb a$ses who own lifted diesels, wear backward hats, white Oaks, tatties hanging out the window, ball sack on the hitch, Polaris on the back blowing smoke everywhere but no need to stereotype everyone.
