I thought that everyone knew, that I only lie about owning a F-150.  It's really a lifted Camaro.  And I drink New Coke versus Old Coke.

 

 

Not everyone. Just LostInTransit/T0astervan or any of the gazillion identities he uses for picking fights in various fora. Or was it someone else?

Some of the requirements for a bro truck is 8+ inch lift kit with small 33-35" tires on large 20-22" diameter rims that are 14" wide. Lift kit isn't really an option on a TC, nor are 33" tires or wide wheels. Maybe some 15x12" wheels with the shortest & widest tires you can find would make a Bro TC that could turn around in 40 acres? But it would look more like the stance crowd than bro truck, IMO.

Disabled transportation vans have custom spacers between the top of the strut, and the strut mount.  Rear suspension will take a longer coil spring and shocks.  Then as many airbags as you can fit, to smooth out the ride.  Top off with shiny, spinning hubcaps. Or custom Foose Design wheels.   We could start there.

I've only got a 6" lift kit.  My wheels are OEM size 17".  I've got to get back to the drawing board.

I actually looked into that also.  Pretty neat how they build those.

Just looking out at the truck & van parked out on the street.  Just doesn't look like my truck is cool enough to qualify as a "bro truck".  I don't have enough bling, lift, or the other things that would qualify.  And actually looking at it; it's not really that much of a difference in size between the pickup & Transit Connect.

just what everyone needs  -  A truck where you have to carry around a stepladder to get into and out of it.  Very practical

 

There ought to be a law where bumpers must match up, at least somewhat, rather than a bumper that takes out the windshield on a normal car when they collide

Ridiculous fad that I can't wait to go away! 

Not sure it's going away.  As a kid, I remember reruns on television: a bounty hunter with a lifted truck.    I'm not Colt Seavers.  That was a bro truck.
