Truck Door Selection: Feng Shui and Compatibility

“Respect tradition, avoid the taboo” – this old saying holds true in many situations, especially when choosing a truck, the “rice bowl” for many drivers. Besides engine and payload, the truck door is also a factor that many consider when buying a truck. So, what is the significance of truck doors in feng shui, and how to choose the right one?

Truck Doors: More Than Just an Entrance

Beyond their primary function as entry and exit points, truck doors also carry symbolic meaning related to safety, prosperity, and luck for the owner. According to feng shui experts, the doors are like the “mouth” of the truck, the “money-eating mouth” – directly influencing the owner’s fortune.
