benjaminmeyer+FollowThe haters are crying about my lifted truck but the only thing I hear is compliments.truckYou know when you think about getting a lifted truck you kind of prepare for people to hate on you. There is this idea that you will just get dirty looks all the time. But in the month since I got mine the experience has been totally different. I have gotten so many compliments. The best part is seeing kids get excited and yell things like "hammer down" just to hear it rumble. I am sure there are people who give sideways comments in traffic but they are not saying it to your face. Lifted trucks started out as a functional thing for a reason. I have a big Ram 5500 for my work and a lifted Jeep for my personal use. They are not just for show. They have a practicality to them too. I really do not care if some people want every car to have a ride height of a small wagon. The sort of people who take issue with what you enjoy driving enough to be meaningfully put off by it prefer the safety of a screen to speak. #LiftedTrucks #TruckLife #Cars #CarCulture #CarOwnership #WorkTruck #JeepLife #CarEnthusiast #PublicPerception #GoodVibes 11954Share
dennis03+FollowBig tires look cool but it might destroy your transmissionBig tires can look awesome on a truck or SUV. But I found something on the internet recently that proves there's a limit before you start causing some serious headaches for your vehicle's transmission It turns out, just putting on bigger tires without changing anything else can really mess with how your car shifts. Your transmission relies on knowing your speed accurately, and bigger tires make your wheels spin slower for the same distance. This totally confuses the system, making it shift late and work much harder than it's supposed to. That extra strain can cause all sorts of problems: Sluggish acceleration, Delayed or "hunting" shifts, Increased heat in the transmission fluid... Ultimately, premature wear and even clutch burnouts. So, while those big tires look cool, they literally change how your drivetrain works. Experts say if you're going up more than a couple of inches in tire size, you really need to regear your differential. #BigTires #Tires #TruckLife #CarTips #Cars 40Share
malonestephen+FollowNeighbor’s truck has been blocking my driveway for 8 hours… what would you do?We have new neighbors who moved in about a month ago, and apparently they run some sort of moving business. One of their trucks has been floating around our street for weeks, and today it’s been parked directly in front of my driveway for 8 hours. No one was home at their house to move it. Thankfully I was working from home today and my wife was off, so it didn’t impact us… yet. But now it’s 10:30 p.m., and I have to leave at 4:30 a.m. for a site visit. If it’s still there in the morning, I have no idea what to do. Would you call someone? Wake them up? Tow it? I just do not think this is normal or polite. #NeighborhoodLife #ParkingProblems #WhatWouldYouDo #TruckLife 10272839Share
Nicole Morgan+Follow5.3 Vortec: The Truck Engine LegendThe GM 5.3-liter Vortec V8 is basically the MVP of truck engines. Launched in 1999, it powered everything from Silverados to Hummers, delivering 270-325 hp and up to 350 lb-ft of torque. Not the flashiest, but super reliable and surprisingly versatile—even popping up in oddballs like the Saab 9-7X and Chevy SSR. If you spot one, you know it’s built to last! #Cars #GMVortec #TruckLife101Share
Leah Pierce+FollowChris Buescher’s $100K Dream Truck RideChris Buescher just took Ford’s wild Roush F-250 for a spin, and it’s basically a monster truck you can actually buy. We’re talking a 6.7L diesel V8, Fox shocks, 35-inch tires, and all the custom upgrades you could want. Buescher’s been driving it for months and swears it handles farm roads like a champ. If you’ve got $100K+ to drop, this beast could be yours (with a sweet discount, too). Would you daily drive this monster? #TruckLife #FordF250 #RoushPerformance #NASCAR #CarEnthusiast #Cars61Share
NeonNymph+FollowFound a Mysterious Truck Part in My Driveway—What Would You Do?Yesterday morning, as I was backing out, I spotted a random part under my truck. My stomach dropped—was this a big deal? Last year, I had a similar moment and it was just a harmless heat shield, but the worry felt real. This time, I snapped a quick photo and hit up some truck forums for advice. Turns out, it’s always smart to ID the part and check with a mechanic before driving off. It’s better to be safe than stranded! Have you ever found a mystery part under your ride?

William Goodwin+FollowRam Just Threw Down a 10-Year GauntletRam just dropped a wild 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty on their trucks—but only until January 2! It’s the longest warranty in the game, covering everything from the Ram 1500 to the Power Wagon. If enough people jump on it, Ram might make it permanent. If not? Poof, it’s gone. This isn’t just a marketing stunt—it’s Ram daring the whole truck world to step up. If you haul, tow, or just want your truck to last, this is your move. Use it or lose it! #RamTrucks #TruckLife #WarrantyWar132Share
Travis Baker MD+FollowWhy Trucks Still Love Drum BrakesEver wonder why so many big trucks still rock drum brakes, even with all the new tech out there? Turns out, it’s not just nostalgia—drum brakes are cheaper to maintain, super durable, and handle rough conditions like champs. Their enclosed design keeps out dirt and debris, which means less fixing and more hauling. Plus, they’re perfect for those heavy loads and tricky stops on uneven ground. Old-school, but still totally practical! #Cars #CarOwnership #TruckLife218Share
stephenolson+FollowTrucks That Laugh at Rust (and Ones That Cry)If you’ve ever watched your truck bed flake away after just one salty winter, you know the struggle is real. Some trucks are basically rust-proof tanks, while others start crumbling before you’ve even paid off the loan. Here’s the scoop: Toyota Tundra (2014–present) is now a rust-fighting champ, thanks to better coatings and smarter design. #Cars #CarOwnership #TruckLife112Share
Jacqueline Farrell+FollowRam’s New HD Trucks: Warlock vs Black ExpressRam just dropped two new 2500 HD trims for 2026 and they’re actually affordable! The Warlock is all about off-road upgrades—think chunky tires, Bilstein shocks, and a tough look. The Black Express is for those who want street style, with color-matched everything and a sport hood. Both come with gas or diesel options, crew cabs, and big 20-inch wheels. Orders are open now, and they hit dealers later this year. Which one would you pick? #RamTrucks #TruckLife #OffRoad #Cars #BuyingCar00Share
