This morning on my commute, the roads are nasty, low visibility, slippery blacktop, speed limit reduced to 45. What do I get tailgated by? 2 separate bro trucks. And I am still doing 60. Pull over to let them by because they want an accident more than I do I guess, and they both roll coal, fishtailing all the way. Seriously, fuck you.

I made a post about this on my town's Reddit page, and boy was I flamed to bits...
Basically, we had some nasty storms some weeks ago, I am talking lots of standing water on the highway and whatnot, anyway, lots of bro trucks nailing it down the highway at 80MPH+. Seriosuly, wtf? sometimes I hate living in the south

I never understood the term Bro Truck. Aren't they more likely to be owned by some redneck with 2.37 teeth, a flannel shirt and a camo hat?

Saw an 70's Ford with a lift, stacks and a black and red rattle can paint job. They had a windshield banner that said "Redneck" I laughed and said, "No shit!" out loud. Then I had to explain it to my wife.

Of course. They are legally obligated to have one and no less than two Browning logos.

i wish there were some way to differentiate from the bros and the 4x4 enthusiasts. oh wait there is.
1. rim size. bros go for 20s or bigger. 4x4 enthusiasts go for smaller rims, to give maximum sidewall for flexibility and performance.
2. dirt. bros gotta be showin off all the time, so they are nearly always clean. 4x4 enthusiasts believe dirt is endearing.
3. mods. bros mod their trucks same as 4x4 enthusiasts, but some things to look out for are bro's 'all show no go' technique. seeing no front driveshaft or axle yoke on a lifted truck is a big bro giveaway.
4. bling. bros are just ricers with richer parents, so the more simulated beadlocks, bed covers, royalty core grilles, blindthefuckoutofyou headlights, and tire shine you see, the more likely you are to be in bro territory.
i hope this guide helps you identify which is which out in the field.

There's different categories of people that drive them, and I think the trucks themselves fall into different categories.
A 'Bro Truck' is generally a newer truck. It is clean, clearly never taken off road. Normally they have few modifications beyond the lift/rims/extra lights. In most places these are driven by bros, think your stereotypical frat boy persona.
There are lifted trucks driven by true rednecks. These are rougher, older, and clearly have spent some time offroad, likely for hunting as exhibited by the various hunting insignia and gun racks.
Then in places like the midwest and the south, there's what I like to refer to as the cityboy redneck. The wannabe cowboy. You know how Duck Dynasty has suddenly inspired people to pretend they're country? This has been going on much longer than the 4 seasons the show has existed. These people have the same thing as bro trucks, except they'll have more redneck style modifications like camo stickers, giant hunting insignia (Mossy Oak is a very popular brand). The persons driving these trucks aren't bros, they pretend to be redneck instead. They wear jeans and boots and camo shirts. Females that fall into these guises will typically where a pink hat and a camo t-shirt and talk about how 'country' they are and how they want a 'redneck romeo'. These are the people that blast the country song of the week while rolling down the highway smoking cigarettes, on their way to walmart to buy a new piece of camo.
I think the last is the worst. Bro trucks are bad but whatever, bro's have always been douchebags so it's not a big deal. Redneck wannabes are so much more annoying.

Where abouts were you?
We have the same issue down in the seacoast NH area.....Too many kids who drive daddy's truck and get daddy to lift it and put stacks on it and roll coal. Then they just drive like asshats. Getting up everyones ass in snow or rain when it's unsafe to drive 80+ on the highway...

Well yeah kind of. There are still some people that have office jobs that still use slightly lifted trucks to work on their farm or ranch. Or like me they use it to go hangout in secluded spots off of sandy or muddy trails. However I will give you that the number of bro trucks that never see a spec of dirt far out way the number of trucks that do

Doesn't 95 go to Florida......We must close 95 off at the Border of Florida....
I can remember driving to Boston to get to school and getting passed on the shoulder by a car doing 100+......Come to find out it was a class mate and his car was this rotted pile of shit that should not have even passed a state inspection...
I was passed during Nemo on 95 by a truck doing way too fast for the conditions....And moments later by a snow mobile (a dead sign you are in NEw England)
People will learn the hard way I suppose

best 95 story was from when I was 17. I was stuck in traffic in NJ coming back from a road trip. All of a sudden I see a Rolls Spirit III, brandy new, beeping his horn and blowing up the breakdown lane at close to 80, next to stopped traffic. About a mile up I hear all kinds of jeering and see this asshole with the whole front end stuffed on the roller, with him yelling at someone on his big ass cell phone (this was '96). Almost everyone was making fun of this guy. I heckled him quite a bit myself...

I remember on the Long Island Distressway (Yeah its 495, but 95 and 495 intertwine so much I feel as if they are the same sometimes.) we were stuck in traffic, as it almost always is on this stretch of the Distressway, and we can see motorcycles coming up behind us and my friends dad goes "Nick open your door quick" Just as I asked why a motorcycle flies by at atleast 50+.
I asked if he was serious and he said "Yeah, that woulda totaled the car and I need a new one" haha
95 is like the Walmarts of highways up here ...

Fair enough. Here in rural Maine it seems a "Bro Truck" is owned by a redneck with a good job.
