The Latest Truck Trend is Raising More Than a Few Question Marks

When it comes to trends, the automotive community has new ones all the time. Just look back over the timeline of hot rodding and we see all sorts of different phenomenon that have come and gone. Some stick around longer than others and really make their presence felt. However, there are also trends that are gone as quick as they showed up. We barely get acquainted with them before they’re pulverized into nothingness. Perhaps, some of these trends were just too ridiculous to be taken seriously for a long period of time. I guess that this is really a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

Sure, those who have nice sounding exhaust systems are going to like for them to be heard every once a while but this just takes it to a whole new level. When we follow along with the video below, it lays out the trend. Be sure to tell us what your thoughts are on exactly what’s been going on in this corner of the truck community.
