I always thought it was a combination of masculine insecurities and one upping your neighbors.

Edit: lifted trucks, after market front bars, louder exhaust with larger exhaust tips, truck nuts, American flags or thin blue line flags covering the rear window.. None of these are from government regulations

They require a special license.

But, in the USA, you can drive up to 26,000 GVW with a normal license, so everyone should be driving box trucks or similar.
