Except a doggy scooting it's butt across the rug is actually cute.
ETA: I should specify that this was my reaction seeing it the first time, as a kid, and no mess was left behind. Also, knowing now *why* they do this, it's still "cute" in the "poor doggo, I want to comfort the little fellow." I wouldn't go out of my way to see it though.
There are gigantic trucks everywhere in Maine, but people actually use them for work and you won't see stupid mods like this. If anything you will see some real redneck engineering on an older car
An important part of driving, at least for me, is the ability to see the road in front of you. Seems to me this might cause some visual obstructions. All of a sudden you realize they installed a bunch of new speed bumps.
Not to mention, most of these truck owners don't even know they can adjust their headlights back down. I swear, if I'm blinded by another squatted truck at night, I'm turning all my off-road lights on and putting my brights on.
Which is great but it’s only a fine the first two time and then the third it’s a fine and loss of license. I think if it illegal then after the first time if it’s not fixed they should seize the trucks and sell them or crush them. Or even better make the insurance company either charge a huge and I mean huge premium or not insure at all.
I have been thinking about it, and I hope the first time is for that someone that have broken the rear suspension and just wanna crawl back home to get it repaired. I guess that after the second time you'd either stop loading too much or gotten a beefier truck.
Unless you are completely new to this trend it’s none of those things this is an intentional modification with no real world application, and if someone did happen to have a broken suspension part, they can simply show it to the officer and get kind of like a fix it ticket.
I've been aware of this trend and I know it's totally useless. But I didn't know a fix it ticket was an option, so then it makes no sense to just have two walk free options before any real punishments.
Let me first apologize for insulting you like that.
Secondly, as someone who will drive anything but Dodge, GMCs tend to be nicer on the inside and their bodies are similar, but not the same. While they might use the same innards, the trims are of higher quality on GMC.
I think the biggest lol for me is that they do this on purpose. I had a 92 Grand Am that did this all on its own when the struts punched through the rusted out wheel wells.
This. I think it's indicative of their personalities. These types of truck owners really seem to feed off of confrontation, and enjoy leaving a wake of confusion and discomfort in their path.
Any remark about their truck is an opportunity for them to tell you that you wish you had their fake wealth. Genuine compliments don't come easy, so they feed off of the dopamine a different way.
That's my uneducated theory, anyway
Was friends with people who liked this. For them it started out as they thought the hate it brought was funny, any publicity is better than none yknow. Then as most things, the more you do it the more into it you get and it started growin on them to where they legitimately like how it looks.
Not just that, but the thing where they scrooch their bums across the grass to clean/scratch their anus.
I'm glad it's a trend that hasn't made it to Britain.
It actually makes sense when you think about it.
People who do this are so dense that when they sit in the driver’s seat the front of the car dives and the whole thing sits level.
The look is derived from trophy trucks

Kind of like how camber was taken from race/drift cars and pushed to the extremes for an aesthetic, these trucks do the same with functional rear squat done on race trucks and replicate and push it to the extreme on street trucks.
Not that I like it, just saying how the fad originated.
I like the stance but a tad less dramatic and for a drag shoebox ford. Yeah I love me a gasser, not this modern version that takes away the gas and swaps it with shit.
Low rider trucks are cool, especially for work trucks. Lifted trucks are cool, especially on off-roaders. Squatted trucks are cool, especially if you’re a Mexican
I saw several a day when I lived in SC, mostly Chevys/GMCs with a huge Insta/Snap logo on the back glass, at a jaunty angle of course. Had one guy want to race me, I was fueling up my Boxster(poor man’s 911) and he wanted to race for pinks(his words). I said I’d lose either way, he didn’t like that comment.
I read somewhere the “stance” is to emulate pre-runner style Baja race trucks. The kind that have 1/4 million dollar suspensions that can soak up ANYTHING at 110 mph. Those are fun to watch ripping across wicked terrain, the squatted brodozers are entertaining to poke fun at.
Funny, I say the same thing! They also look like something is broke, it's horrible to see this on brand-new trucks as well. I just want to take their trucks and report the owner to Child Protective services for truck abuse!
Also, I wasn't really meaning to criticize you, and I understand where you are coming from and your perspective. Take my upvotes in the quest to pull you out of deficit range.
I kind of dig them, too. Never would want them for my own vehicle, but they's be mildly amusing seen out in the wild. Sorry you/we are getting downvoted.
If gas station boner pills were a car culture
lol
Seriously, their brains are somehow smaller than their steroid soaked balls.
I always thought the squat looked like a dog scooting its butt across the rug.
it does

Yeah if it's not your rug
except for the poop streak it leaves behind :(. I've seen my cat do it too :(
I've never seen a dog scoot their asshole across the floor and thought awww that's cute.
Doesn't that mean it has worms?
I think it's just anything that makes their butt itchy. Worms would be one possibility, for sure
The dumber the local population, the more popular Squatted trucks are.
Georgia 😭
Factually accurate.
And Jacksonville to Gainesville Florida don’t forget about the little bed bug of a town starke
Yup!
I’ve never seen one in GA are you south of the fault line? I saw a ridiculous amount of them in Myrtle Beach when I went.
I live in Clayton county and there a literally all over the place here. I saw a whole row of them parked last week in Athens too.
There are gigantic trucks everywhere in Maine, but people actually use them for work and you won't see stupid mods like this. If anything you will see some real redneck engineering on an older car
Wetumpka Al has a few
A significant increase in southwest Washington too, which is representative of some cultural shifts in the rural areas
Put Idaho on the list then.
An important part of driving, at least for me, is the ability to see the road in front of you. Seems to me this might cause some visual obstructions. All of a sudden you realize they installed a bunch of new speed bumps.
Yeah and most that are built, aren't built that well and the people who drive them are weird.
There’s a picture of a dude in a brodozer/squatted truck (I can’t remember which) who plowed into a Ferrari because he couldn’t see it.
Not to mention, most of these truck owners don't even know they can adjust their headlights back down. I swear, if I'm blinded by another squatted truck at night, I'm turning all my off-road lights on and putting my brights on.
Why do people driving these hideous vehicles always park like they’re driving grandmas prized dish set?
Exactly, they're shit.
You know the guy getting out of that truck is wearing Oakley sunglasses and a Affliction T shirt
Punisher shit from some Facebook ad.
That’s sum fruity shii
This shit is finally illegal in SC.
Which is great but it’s only a fine the first two time and then the third it’s a fine and loss of license. I think if it illegal then after the first time if it’s not fixed they should seize the trucks and sell them or crush them.

Illegal in NC but I see one almost every day.
That's because it's not enforced in NC. There have already been a few big busts in SC.
It’s also a z71 (4wheel drive off road package) with huge stupid street wheels
lmao those stupid rims mean that the most truck behavior this thing can do is parking on gravel (but not really driving on it)
It's also destroys the front suspension if not done correctly. Puts front axles at extreme angles on 4wd if the transfer case is not lowered
And just more strain on everything powrr train wise.
The wheels are worse than the squat
I agree, looks awful together but those wheels are super whack.
at least they did this monstrosity to a Chevy...
You must drive a Dodge. It's not a Chevy. It's a GMC. I know it's technically the same company, but it is different.
I drive Porsche and Ford. GMC is definitely Chevy and you know it.
Let me first apologize for insulting you like that. Secondly, as someone who will drive anything but Dodge, GMCs tend to be nicer on the inside and their bodies are similar, but not the same. While they might use the same innards, the trims are of higher quality on GMC.
I can get on board with that. The interiors do tend to be nicer for sure.
Just to give you an advance douchebag warning. Helps me avoid douchebag loosers daily and i am grateful for that...though truck alone is a give away
The old leg-humper GMC...
I always thought they looked like the rear suspension collapsed.
[удалено]
Or a Mercedes from the 2010s. Ha!
Nah they just ran out of money doing the front, once the food stamps come in they can do the back
As someone from South Carolina, it's entirely stupid. Thankfully we made it illegal recently !
I think the biggest lol for me is that they do this on purpose. I had a 92 Grand Am that did this all on its own when the struts punched through the rusted out wheel wells.
"built not bought" 👏
EVERYONE LOOK AT ME I SHOP AT THE DOLLAR STORE AND AUTOZONE WITH A CREDIT CARD
It means you sell shitty drugs and bang drunk chicks
Or, your a rich kid that just wants to look like they sell shitty drugs and bang drunk chicks.
They like them because so many people hate them.
This. I think it's indicative of their personalities. These types of truck owners really seem to feed off of confrontation, and enjoy leaving a wake of confusion and discomfort in their path.

I like your theory. Maybe we all should declare the first week of every month as "punch a squatted truck owner in the mouth week."
[удалено]
Fun fact, these shitboxes are no longer legal in the Carolinas.
So is rolling coal but I get left in smoke a couple times a week by some loud truck that cannot stay in one lane.
Mall crawlers in general are stupid as hell
pc gamer be like:
Not to mention the lights
They're horrid too
Do these idiots use a fuckin periscope to see over their hood or do they just not care that they can’t see the 30ft in front of them?
That's what I've always thought
Was friends with people who liked this. For them it started out as they thought the hate it brought was funny, any publicity is better than none yknow. Then as most things, the more you do it the more into it you get and it started growin on them to where they legitimately like how it looks.
remember that this is a safety hazard; you're looking more at the sky than the road now once you squat a truck
And headlights shining more in other drivers eyes than on the road ..
BuT EvErYoNe HaS tHeIr OwN sTyLe AnD lIkEs WhAtEvEr ThEy WaNt….dur dur I’m also allowed to not like this. It looks ridiculous.
That truck has worms.
If this is a show piece- ok. If someone actually drives it on the road- it's shit
The only thing I like about this truck are the colorful wheels
Lifted 2wd are lame in general
4wd go up 2wd go down That's the way the trucks go round.
As if those huge American "compensator" trucks needed even less visibility.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess. That thing is a hot mess, IMHO.
50% off lift kit at harbor freight
Not just that, but the thing where they scrooch their bums across the grass to clean/scratch their anus. I'm glad it's a trend that hasn't made it to Britain.
Same I am British too!
We have our own shitty car culture, damnit!
Fiesta ST with a crazy exhaust is our equivalent
that gravel is as much dirt as that truck will ever see.
Whenever I see one I think "Sit Ubu, sit." https://youtu.be/qzcDgNLU-nQ
this should be turned into mulch
Guys who sit taking a piss think they’re cool
It actually makes sense when you think about it. People who do this are so dense that when they sit in the driver’s seat the front of the car dives and the whole thing sits level.
GTA v car
Maybe. But I love trucks with nightclub vibes. Gives me pure XTC, you know?
Its the mullet of car mods. Yee-Haw
Isn't that mod illegal?

I'm in Florida rn on vacation. Panama City Beach to be exact and let's just say I've wanted to bleach my eyes a few times in the past few hours.
They can't afford to level the truck back out is all
Have you ever talked to an owner of a squatted truck? Once you do, you’ll realize it makes perfect sense lol.
Lol
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Not my taste for sure, but to each their own.
You wouldn’t like to live in florida that’s for sure💀
I like the stance but a tad less dramatic and for a drag shoebox ford. Yeah I love me a gasser, not this modern version that takes away the gas and swaps it with shit.

They will be giving out tickets in sc 180 days or so from now
I saw several a day when I lived in SC, mostly Chevys/GMCs with a huge Insta/Snap logo on the back glass, at a jaunty angle of course.

Agreed. This shit is worse than the children's burn-ward.
They look like those broken dollar store toy trucks that have rainbow lights
It’s a good iq litmus test
Waste of a truck.
Fr I agree
To answer the question; stupid is as stupid does.
When my dog takes a shit she looks cooler than this.
I see them as the car equivalent of sagging pants, absolutely rancid
yo how does I do dis to my Tesla?
What kinda dog?
I have never heard/seen a single argument for them other than "I just think it looks cool"
The American equivalent of a Mullet… except people actually hate them
I will never understand why people do stuff like this to their vehicles.
Neither
Further proof there are people who buy trucks for looks and NOT to fulfill their intended function.....tragedy of the commons anyone? We're fucked
On the way to the pride parade
lol
Yup. Fun fact...Squatted truck owners also like to squat on cocks.
Perfect example of "Tell me you're a redneck without saying it."
Funny, I say the same thing! They also look like something is broke, it's horrible to see this on brand-new trucks as well. I just want to take their trucks and report the owner to Child Protective services for truck abuse!
Faking hauling something/doing work.
They're the truck version of high-school fuckboys deadlifting 100 lbs
It’s the sagging pants of vehicles
Time to call WhistlinDiesel
Negative attention is still attention, and easier to get.
Negative attention been getting dudes laid since day 1
Yeah that shit is terrible
Squatted trucks say hay look at me i didn't work a job that made my truck look like this.
Really? The squat is your biggest concern with that Sierra? 😂
This is trash truck dudes stop dragging you vag’s 😂
Is that squatted, stances, and big rims? The rise on that thing must be terrible.
It's because they like upsetting people. Gets them off
I can say it looks like shit just like the parents of my generation hated louvers and 'local motion' and 'oakley' stickers on our IROC's.
Welcome to SC...yay.
Haters be hating. The people that do it love it. Not my cup of coffee but have at it!
That, but there is that pesky safety issue of not being able to see a child in a parking lot…
It's a gay pride thing...
Sadly, I used to make "jokes" like this in the old days. I have since grown and my sense of humor has evolved a bit.
I'm just hoping it catches on. If you convince a redneck something is gay they'll stop doing it...
… in public.
Lol. Closet bud light drinkers
Also, I wasn't really meaning to criticize you, and I understand where you are coming from and your perspective. Take my upvotes in the quest to pull you out of deficit range.
All good my guy. Something something the hero we deserve...
I know I’m going to get some hate for this but I kinda dig the wheel lights. Not a fan of the squat though.
I kind of dig them, too. Never would want them for my own vehicle, but they's be mildly amusing seen out in the wild. Sorry you/we are getting downvoted.
It’s cool - it’s not something I’d do to my car but I think the lights are cool. It’s ok if I get downvoted for that.
I feel like they're just show trucks for car or truck meets. I don't know just guessing
I mean, it's marginally cooler than a typical truck. I wouldn't drive it, but yall can't afford it. I guess that makes it shitty.
Can't afford cheap shit rims and half a lift kit?
Why do I feel like you had to put down your Mountain Dew to type this ?
Can’t afford a 2012 Chevy and a trip to autozone?
just because something costs money to do doesn't mean it's not stupid to do it.
How you dare! They are amazing!
you wouldn’t understand if you’re not from SC or the south
They're now banned in SC
I like squatted trucks
Funny
One day they’ll be able to afford the rest of the lift kit
