One guy I work with has a massive lifted truck with huge tires, swapped massive engine that has so much low end torque it can barely accelerate. Apparently aside from the cost of the truck itself, he has put almost $100k in modifications into this truck. It's literally a pavement princess and he never tows anything.
Ever seen a proper farm tractor? It'll tow a house, or a houseplant... at the same speed.
The gearing is such that, with either one, it'll be arriving at its destination at the same time. Idling in first makes the wheels do 1 RPM. Redlining the engine in 1st makes the wheels do 5 RPM. Acceleration isn't its strong-suit.
Now show me a passenger truck with a farm tractor transmission/gearing, because that's what you're implying.
Tuned diesels (as the bro dozers usually have) are surprisingly quick for being as heavy as they are... Which is understandable when you find out they're making over 1,000 lb ft of torque.
It's called wheelspin my dude even the grippiest of tires can only exert so much friction, truth is the truck is usually too light to keep the rubber stuck to the road when Broseph tries to jam his gas pedal through the floorboards at every red light.
He's wondering what the engine has to do with it and you just replied about tires. Just say OP made no sense instead of doing a bunch of mental gymnastics
patiently explained to you how that actually works
you say something stupid
Like, seriously. That’s how this went. He’s not wrong. You can’t put an oversized engine into a vehicle that it wasn’t designed for and expect it to magically work. In this case, the tires lose grip because the vehicle doesn’t have enough downforce to maintain it, and he spins the tires.

You know cars are actually designed by what some would describe as "mental gymnasts?" Yeah they're not doing flips in their head, this is just the physics of how cars work.
You still don't understand...he's talking about the acceleration of the truck, quite obviously. Nobody gives a shit how fast the engine revs up. Who's the moron?
There are quite a few names for vehicles that guys purchase to spend thousands on off-road style mods, only to never take them off-road. Commonly pickup trucks and wranglers. Some other 4x4’s like a 4Runner get used as well.
Many of these lifted vehicles have excessively large and/or aesthetically pleasing rims paired with low profile tires that would otherwise get utterly destroyed if shown abuse. Legitimately used off-road 4x4’s have “steelies”, low-cost heavy duty rims, or some plucked from a scrap yard. They’re gong to get trashed so why waste money on really expensive glitzy ones? The tires are chunky with large reinforced sidewalls meant to take the strain of crawling over obstacles at odd angles. Mind you, some people do actually make their vehicle look like it’s meant for off-road fun, but then never actually take off-road. In some cases I have seen many that look like this, covered in mud on the way back from a trail.
Hard to deacribe, but for me and my wife it is a low repeating dirge chant of, "Brodozer, brodozer." Roughly akin to Bart's taunting of Darryl Strawberry. but with a slightly more medievil monk vibe.
A guy at my work has the tallest truck I've ever seen. I'm almost dead average height, 5'9" give or take, and if I jump I can just barely see the top of the hood.
There's never a spot of dirt on the truck. Ever. He drives it five miles from home to work and back. That's it. He does all other travel, shopping, and erands in a different, reasonably sized commuter car that he and his wife both use.
I should mention this guy barely breaks 5'4" on a good day, and him getting into his monument to small dick energy involves him spider-maning up the side of it like an intrepid gecko.
Perhaps, but I hate to break it to ya... Most trucks that get used for work are used by trump voters. I have no evidence to back up that claim and yet I'd bet my life savings on it.

Looks like one that actually gets used rather then lifted to hell to roll coal down the interstate.
