Prerunner originally was the term used to describe any vehicle used to prerun an offroad course. Most race teams do not want to use their race car so they will use a prerunner to "pre-run" the course and mark hazards and practice. The definition has broadened to include daily driver trucks owned by race fans that have long traveled their trucks to be similar to race trucks or fully built race team prerunners.
Let's take the prerunner out on some off-road trails this weekend.

When driving, the title for someone who weaves in and out of traffic, aggresively passing other vehicles way over the speed limit. While temporarily annoying, these fast-n-furious wannabes are actually doing the rest of us a favor by attracting the attention of any law enforcement potentially lurking ahead. A bonus when you've had a couple beers at happy hour.
Dhurka: Look at that asswipe in his lowered '92 Civic with the coffee-can muffler. Dude thinks he's Vin friggin' Diesel.

Sukhdeep: You should be thankful for our Asian import driving friend. He's our popo prerunner! Now I am confident we will make it home from the club hassle free.
