    The real reason why they speed up, is that the 2018+ freight shakers likely have adaptive cruise with those stupid dt-12 automatics. When going over even the smallest of hills the truck will let off the throttle just enough for maximum fuel economy. You were probably coming up when the truck let off and then the truck slowly gets back up to 65 right when you pass. Even the manuals are programmed to do this with cruise on, but it’s not as dramatic as the autos. F$?k those autos. Long live the manual!

    I will never tolerate a truck like that for a second. My hammer, my fuel to burn.

    I have started seeing that and have been scratching my head WTF is with this fella? But was too afraid to out 2+2 together like you did.

    The funniest part about this video is Frey’s truck hardly having the nads to make the pass on the shoulder lol. But props to him for doing something we’ve all wanted to do probably a million times, I’m sure FreyMiller gave him a nice driving “reward” for that
