Squatted Trucks: The Controversial Trend Explained

Squatted trucks are a controversial trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years. These trucks are modified to have a lowered front suspension and a raised rear suspension, giving them a distinctive “squatted” appearance.

There are a number of reasons why people choose to squat their trucks. Some people do it for the look, while others do it to improve the performance of their trucks. Squatting can make a truck more agile and easier to maneuver off-road. However, it can also make the truck more difficult to control on the highway and can increase the risk of accidents.

Personally, I’m not a fan of squatted trucks. I think they look unsafe and gaudy. I also don’t like the way they drive. I’ve seen squatted trucks swerve on the highway and come close to causing accidents.

Here are some of the pros and cons of squatted trucks:

Pros:

  • Improved performance off-road
  • More agile and easier to maneuver
  • Distinctive look

Cons:

  • More difficult to control on the highway
  • Increased risk of accidents
  • Unsafe
  • Gaudy

Is it illegal to squat a truck?

The legality of squatted trucks varies from state to state. In some states, it is illegal to modify a truck in a way that alters its suspension. In other states, it is only illegal to modify a truck in a way that makes it unsafe.

If you are considering squatting your truck, be sure to check the laws in your state to make sure that it is legal. You should also weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a decision.
