Default Why don't I win?

Is it because my truck is too heavy or something? My Ram seems to get passed by everything. As if the upgrades I get are to just to keep up with cars these days....What am I doing wrong??

Trucks are for hauling cargo...They are not for hauling ***.

If you want to go fast, get a sporty little car.

You don't win because your truck is slow, it's a truck.

240 horsepower, or thereabouts, and 5000 plus pounds of weight, is not exactly a 'performance' combination.
