What makes a street truck a street truck?

neontrail · 03-18-2009, 09:12 AM

April's TOTM has me a bit confused... Can someone please tell me what makes a street truck a street truck?

Jumping speedbumps instead of rocks and muddy stuff?

Sounds good to me.

neontrail · 03-18-2009, 09:15 AM

seriously?

TicTacOma · 03-18-2009, 09:21 AM

Understandably it should be an easy explain but I would like to know the Judge's point. I'm out of the running, I pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway to take a pee and got dirt on my tires. Damn....I was that close to pulling it off.

there are some of us that have the street truck ( 5 lugger) and use it for work and as a daily driver

i could make cheap shots about the 6 in lift 4x4 with chrome nerf bars, chrome nerf bars, custom wheels and tires and their of off road is cutting a curb at the mall , but i won't

Think polar opposite of an off-road truck.

tacoskim · 03-18-2009, 10:47 AM

either a x-runner type of truck, or a mall crawler

higherlux · 03-18-2009, 10:56 AM

a mall crawler
or a truck that has never had the need to go off road
or any 2wd truck( thats not a prerunner)

harshest · 03-18-2009, 11:46 AM

IMO - X-Runners, Dodge Dakota R/T's, Silverado SS, basically anything that has been lowered compared to the base model of said vehicle.

Who Dat Popcorn · 03-23-2009, 06:28 AM

Opposite of an off-road truck..

i.e. get a drop instead of a lift, some low-profile tires, etc.

dud122 · 03-23-2009, 06:54 AM

there could be a totm category for each...

lowered or racing types... x-runner...etc

mall crawlers... 12" lift with way too much chrome and frills to ever take it off road

street trucks (for lack of a better term)... modified but doesn't fit into either of the above categories (missleman's truck for example)

Keason1* · 03-23-2009, 06:54 AM

i would say an x runner or a non lifted taco

silverbullet05 · 03-23-2009, 07:24 AM

lowered would be my idea a street truck. I think the rest fall into stock truck.

Viet2100 · 05-02-2009, 09:56 PM

Low profile tires, 20"+ rims, lowered, and body kit.

johnecon2001 · 05-02-2009, 10:40 PM

Anything with less than less tan two drive shafts.

DanGer · 05-02-2009, 10:57 PM

street trucks are those sexy beasts that may be lowered and have intense performance mods like a super charger, but actually use it on the track for speed

Just because they have a S/C, it does not make them a street truck. Desert runners use S/Cs too.
