The Phenomenon That Is The Bro Truck #Blogpost

So, what is it?

The Bro Truck is a phenomenon that has infested the Southeastern United States. It’s everywhere, except offroad where 4X4s truly belong. It’s given lifted trucks a bad reputation, and has become the extreme stance of the truck world: blamed for everything and hated by lots of people.

The Trucks

Bro trucks are all about looking tough. This means huge lifts, aftermarket grilles, wide black and chrome wheels, aggressive low-profile tires, and enough aftermarket LEDs to light up Tokyo for a week.

The most common bro trucks begin life as a four-door American full-size trucks built somewhere after 2000.

Bro truck wheels are usually contrasting black-and-chrome, with super low-profile tires. The wheels almost always have tonnes of negative offset, and are usually really wide.

Bro trucks often feature flashy grills, anything for attention. They usually have lots of chrome mesh, huge logos, and plenty of LEDs.

There are three kinds of bro truck suspension: overly lifted, stockbecausedaddywon’tletmeborrowhiscreditcardanymore, and the Carolina Lean. The overly lifted bro trucks are both the most popular and the most stereotypical. Google ‘bro truck’, and this is always the first result. Stock is just as common in the real world though, and looks just as stupid :/ But then there’s the Carolina Lean, which is hated by everyone except for owners and initiated enthusiasts. Living in Carolina, I expectably see lots of this crap, even though it’s much more common in the east instead of the west where I live. It looks like they’re constantly under heavy acceleration or carrying a 1/2 ton of bricks.

The exhaust on a bro truck is a key element to it’s ‘manliness’. It’s usually straight piped with the biggest pipes possible. The exhaust tip is usually big enough to hide a small dog, and able to be turned into a cannon barrel if necessary. The Diesels (which aren’t as common as you think) are almost always modded to roll coal in the most d-baglike way possible.

And this is what is driving this cancer. Country bros see these extreme show trucks and try to replicate it at home, but just create ugly bro trucks and influence others to do the same. In other words, “Don’t try this at home, kids.”

The owners
The average country bro is an obnoxious, immature 20-something-year-old. They usually love bro/pop country and think every other kind of music is rubbish. They are usually taking classes on an arbitrary subject at the local college with daddy’s money. They pretend to be tough and rugged, but are usually as ‘foo-foo’ as the regular people they like to hate on.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Bro Truck is a phenomenon in the Southeastern US that is giving the rest of the truck-modding community a massive bad name. If you are a bro truck owner or enthusiast, don’t take any of this personally, and whatever you do, don’t live up to the stereotype of being a jerk. I wrote this article to shed light on the bro truck and in an attempt to divert (undeserved) hate away from the sensible owners of lifted trucks. Ogier out.
