To grab pedestrians and cyclists and drag them under. This is illegal in most states except West Virgina and Alabama, but elsewhere the police do not enforce the law.
In rain, the bro wheels throw up spray making visibility dangerous for other vehicles. But fuck them, because MURICAH.
In WV this would fail inspection. The rule is water cannot pass off fender wells onto the tire. People do just swap out before inspections though. There are no good reasons to need wide rims and tires as far as I know.
Wide tires spread the weight over a larger distance so they are helpful over softer terrain, like a grassy field…but that truck never leaves pavement. They are only helping him have higher rolling resistance and burn more gas.
In use cases duallies are for towing and weight distribution. They help with steering a bit, but for the most part that’s for handling very heavy things.
In this case big truck look more manly go BRRRRRRR
The guy that owns that truck would panic if he had to change lanes with a trailer.
Dualies at least have widened fender wells and jist in back. They are nice if you actually haul 2tons+ (F150s say they can haul 2tons, but I’d never risk that much, 250s were created for a reason)
This appears to be a 250 or 350 with some bewildering off road modifications. No serious trail guy would take duallies off road. But he’s got off road tires and a trail light system on the front bumper. Unless he’s taking a full size camper up the mountain this guy is just an idiot. Actually that’s true in either case.
Eh, lots of people in my area use 250s offroad, but only to go up hollers and gather cut wood or drop salt licks and such. Not for entertainment or sport, just work. I try to keep my F150 free from dents and dings, and I do use it like a van for the family, but I got it because I wanted to haul stuff, not for play. (Also, one can fit quite a few 8ft 2x4s or similar in a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee if one isn’t afraid to rest boards on the dashboard in the middle… hence the truck, got paranoid I’d be pulled over)
Why does a van need wheels that big?

So you don’t see the guts of pedestrians/cyclists/kids being run over.
