Follow the lead of activists in Britain. Flatten the tires by pressing on the valve stem. No property damage to people that might have been out of options, and sends a clear message that large vehicles aren't welcome

I say we just send all these huge trucks away to be scrapped.

Pressing on the valve stem? Just put a lentil in one and replace or use a valve core tool to take the valve core out

The point is to do no permanent damage so they don't sue you.

It takes less time to remove a valve stem then it does to sit there and let the air out.

Removing the valve stem is not permanent damage either as long as they don't let the truck sit on a flat for a long time.
