They aren’t interested unless they feel they can:

A - intimidate other drivers, especially ones they can subjectively call liberals. The random Prius driver. Someone with an equality sticker on the car. Etc.

B - get one over on the government. Y’know, put a bunch of illegal shit on the truck and get away with it. Light bars, train horns, deleting required emissions equipment, “squat”, too wide tires and all that. Gotta take the wheels off and put dinky stock ones on to pass inspection and they bitch and moan about the stupid gubmint rules the whole time.
