With the "cops" sticker he at least seems to be somewhat self-aware.

I wanted to give him a perfect 10 Bros for all the mods, but I’ll subtract 4 for choosing an older pickup and not something fresh off the lot.

6 Bros.

Maybe he's been doing it since before bro trucks were cool? Have we finally reached the hipster-bro crossover..?

Needs more “upcycled” and handcrafted mods, but I think we’re close!

Appears to be a gas truck . I’d put it at 4 bros (converting from my usual scale of Monster cans):

Knobby tires

Big lift

Excessive lighting

Sticker choice

No truck nuts or misogynistic stickers*, which is a plus.

*I don’t count Hillary as a female, she’s just a politician

How is this not wearing a 45-related sticker? (other than the Hill one). In western WA, this is the base among those under 60 .

I’m surprised he had an anti-Hillary sticker but no anti-Obama stickers. Any upstanding American who pays his dutiful $25 co-pay sh ould hate Obamacare forcing him to subsidise  others!!

Extra points for the crooked license plate, rear-facing light bars and spot lights, as well as the “Hillary for prison” sticker in the window.

Deductions because rims are too small, they look like 17s or 18s, in a relatively boring design. They are proper offset to stick out far enough past the fenders to fling rocks and dirt everywhere, however.

7/10 Bros.

The rear facing light bar is covering up the “KEEP CALM AND SHOW YER BEWBS” sticker....

I was working on a bro-truck scale at one point for this very rating system. It was quite involved with points being accumulated or deducted based on mods/stickers.

I think would score in the 20-30's range, if I remember my scale correctly. A big factor was the lift and tire size. A couple points fo r the stickers . 10 for the light bar. It would have reached into the lower echelon of bro truck status as the lift doesn’t appear to be painted and the tires seem to be less than 35's.

This sounds like it deserves to be published in a lengthy PDF with a terrible letterhead. Please do so.

On second thought, I’d be happy to help create a formula in a spreadsheet so users can plug in number of stickers, lightbars, estimated surface area of camo vinyl, etc.

I second this. The formula is easy. The hard part is remembering all the possible bro-mods. Don’t forget a gun rack in the back glass. Huge stacks eliminating the useful ness of the bed. High-gloss painted suspension components, low profile off-road tires, and chrome wheels where a key point in my scale.

I don't even know where PBR fits in the stereotyping spectrum anymore
