Silverado Beater Beats Up Some Cops

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

We see certain individuals on social media openly questioning why people are so fascinated by trucks. Some of them even insinuate there’s a murderous element to why anyone would want to drive a pickup every day. This video might seem to support that argument as a suspect uses his beater Chevy Silverado to bully pursuing Arkansas troopers.

Watch a Ram truck go flying as it runs from police.

But this video also illustrates one of the legitimate reasons why people love their pickups: they’re durable. Yes, the utilitarian nature of trucks is another strong selling point, but for some the fact a truck can take a beating and keep on ticking is why they drive one.

This is especially true for anyone who deals with rough roads, aggressive drivers, or other hazardous conditions regularly. If this confuses you, the urban or suburban area where you frequent most be pretty tame. Or you’re just super unaware of your surroundings.
