That's not really their demographic.
You mean thunder/venture i guess. Well duh those companies havent made a wide truck since the 80s. My 1st trucks were 179 thunders. Indy make a 9.2 then it jumps to the useless 10 inch 215s. It just seems truck width availability is lagging behind deck widths that alot of people are running.
i agree with you but i wouldn't really want an already slow turning truck made wider, and most boards over 9 are shaped in a way where 159/169 are perfect. tracker makes a 9.7 and ACE makes a 9.3 you could also get wider off set wheels or put more inboard washers on.
also, the reason thats not their demographic is because they don't have a truck that caters to them. if they actually made the trucks, (assuming they're better than indy)that would become their demographic, along side the other demographics they're targeting. indys dominate that demographic because they turn(sorta), they last, and most importantly, they actually have the sizes. people are looking for alternatives to indy for a variety of reasons and people are starting to ride wider setups more and more so it would be stupid to not even try to market to them while complaining about “thats not our demographic”.just make it your demographic dummy.
