Having learnt the term 'rolling coal' just now, I would sincerely hope the morons doing this are in a minority amongst truck drivers. I find it far more likely that conspicuous consumption is to blame for the truck/SUV trend than anti-environmentalism.

Don't come to the Midwest... Rural towns are full of folks who love to mod their trucks so they can be seen/heard/smelled.

Or the intermountain west. Utah is the home of the Diesel Brothers. If you want to feel like garbage, go down that hole.

It is definitely a minority. If that is any consolation.

I stopped reading at "... as a form of anti-environmentalism", what the actual fuck?!

And several people here, as a manner-of-fact, "oh yeah that happens in part of the country where I live". That is not normal.

Environmentalism has become a tribal trait, and of the tribe opposing them. Therefore, you become anti-environmental, as a way of showing your tribe.
