The Federalist
Unlike with the right to bear arms, there is no constitutional amendment protecting our right to own vehicles — other than a generally recognized right to move about freely (Crandall v. Nevada, 1867) — and, with almost all roads owned by the government, this could become a problem.
With that, the ongoing campaign against “Big Truck” — or, as we call them in Texas, simply “my truck” — is bound to lead to additional restrictions to “save the planet” and “save the children.”
The latest push against large pickup trucks takes two basic forms: They’re large and scary and hurt people, and they’re bad for the environment, especially with people not really needing them for anything practical. READ MORE
Anything with more than two wheels is big…
There is no RIGHT reason. They can kiss the left side of my right cheek. It’s not happening.
It’s almost February
Don’t forget to call me
That’s Mr. Plow
Okay Lefty’s, would you rather be in a smart car or a big pickup truck in a head on?
I rest my case.
There’s no Constitutional Amendment guaranteeing what you drive, but I do believe there’s a commerce law that does.

That’s the point, they want everyone driving a little plastic coffin.
with almost all roads owned by the government
The Gov’t doesn’t own ANYTHING. Full stop. They are stewards of our land and our money. Bad effing stewards but only that nonetheless.
“Traffic violence”. Are these people for real?
Keith Smith,
Control the language; control the narrative.
We hear far too much of “leaders,” “gov’t ownership,” “gov’t mandates,” “gov’t requirements,” “gov’t land,” and on and on and on … even from people who should know better.

I loved my 95 F150 4×4, except when I pulled up to a gas station and had to fill two tanks totaling 36 gallons. It was my daily driver, but I also camped in it, hauled stuff and played in the mud once in a while. I got rid of it in 05 with 150k miles, which was when gas was $1.60/gallon. Since then I repeatedly inherit my wife’s SUVs when she tires of them and wants a new one, cycling through them about every 5 years. That’s fine with me because I bought a trailer for towing stuff. I almost bought another pickup in 2020, when gas was $2. I’m sure glad I didn’t. I commute 100 miles per day. That would have been excruciating at almost $4/gallon!
I drive a truck.
Guess who all the people I know call when they need a truck?
Can be a giant pain in the ass but if they had my number to call me it means they’re a friend.
I need mine to Haul Ass!
Anyone remember the poster?
they can kiss my big fat ass, I’m not giving up my F250 diesel superduty Texas Cadillac
Brad, they want the useless eaters riding bicycles (carbon free)
Big Truck:

(just add the tt)
WE must ban all assault trucks.
I own two Ford F-150’s. One is for doing dirty, tough work like hauling stuff, pulling my trailers with my tractors, towing my cargo trailer that I converted into a camper and pulling stumps. The other is one of those nice ones that six adults can ride in comfort in to fancy events like funerals and weddings and rodeos. I drive the work truck 95% of the time. It keeps the miles off the pretty one which is now worth more than when I bought it.
This just another step in the incremental “fundamental transformation” of the US.
In two decades all “comrades” will be riding 50cc mopeds, eating bugs and they’ll like it!!
I have a truck, big block V-8 gas 5.7 that I need to tow my boat.
Oh, it has an even bigger motor, Volvo Penta 8.1 pushing about 30 gph when running at full throttle. Big boat on big water=fun day.
Of course marine gas is a bit on the expensive side.
I guess these a$$wipes don’t realize that we use these big trucks to haul big loads. My son has a huge greenhouse operation and is always using my truck, why buy when dad is just down the road. I have utility trailer as well for helping folks move and as Different Tim pointed out, friends. Hauling wood and construction materials as well.
I do more with my truck in one week that what these pi$$ant little lefties will ever haul, pick up, lift, in 5 years. Bugger off ya little psychopaths. Men gotta men. And I know a lot of women that can put me to shame when loading hay bales on a moving hay rack in the late summer/fall. Some years we get a double cutting.
(Wonder if them super smart college children even know what that is).
I drive a Duramax with a 6 inch lift and 36 inch tall tires and enjoy drafting micro cars. I maybe the guy they’re after. LOL
You have to admit that the trucks are pretty dang huge. I have a 2001 F150 crewcab. Next to my son’s 2016, it looks like a mini truck.
He’s thinking of installing a sauna.
i love to let out the exhaust when passing them bicycle herds
There are so many people who use their trucks for their business. And most of them also own and know how to use guns.
I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner w/ a V6, 240k+ miles, still going strong.
Not a truck, but close enough.
Give it up?
Not only NO, but EFFING HELL NO!
UNLESS……
You want to BUY it from me for $50,000….firm……
in silver/gold……at that day’s spot price.
Dictatorship.
No other word can explain the “ban” on everything and anything. We are no longer represented, but ruled by our governments. Be it Mandates, Guidelines, or Rules, these United States of America have become a
Fascist Dictatorship.
How do these leftists expect their marijuana is going to get to market?
My Ram 1500 (2001 with 214000 miles) has a new water pump, new timing set, new IAC, new transmission pressure shits… and bands set, a new blower and resistors, a new dizzy top and internals, renewed wires and sparking plugs, new front bearings, and a new AC compressor and fittings. I did some ball joints and brake lines.
You can’t have it.
And I did all of it for under 2000 dollars.
You still can’t have it.
E-250 V-8 – Money maker VAN – My Fav.
F-150 V-8 4×4 Crew – Backup to Van, Long Trip Vehicle & Severe Snow vehicle
I’ll convert my F350 to fucking biodiesel if I have to beat these fucks, this just sounds like fear porn to me. 😡 Still taking my 40 foot toy hauler too the damn beach when I want to. Try and stop me. Claudia knows the deal.
It’ll smell like McDonald’s but that’s camouflage.
Maybe my next truck will be a surplus Deuce and a half. They’re multi fuel, I can fill up at airports.
Wish I could edit, put a damn VA Antique plate on it and I won’t even have to pay taxes. my local tow service has a surplus tank retriever they use to pull combines out of the mud.
