    Is that an ex Prime Inc truck? If so they have them and you could call pedigree truck sales and ask them.

    The red one is "auto destruct" It will give you a 5 min countdown before the magnetic seals on the antimatter containment pods collapse, resulting in total destruction of the truck and everything else in a 10 mile radius.

    The small black one is the auto lizard function. Push for good time.

    Just press one and see what happens. Then let everyone know what happened. My guess nothing.

    The black button may be for a hadley valve. If you press it you may have to hold for a sec9nd or two it will raise your suspension slightly to relieve pressure off the landing gear. Could be wrong but it is something easily verified

    Maybe some other driver has the green button. Probably a good thing you don’t have a green button.

    Use Rigdig to find out who originally owned the truck.
