Why a ban? What is the issue?

Good. Putting aside my issues with how it looks (I don't believe vehicles should be banned simply because I find them ugly), it is dangerous and a hazard to others.
I've got no problem with someone owning a squatted truck; if they want to park it on their lawn to show it off, or trailer it to a track to drive it there, or haul it to a car show to compete, then that is whatever to me. Knock yourselves out.
You want to drive on public roads though? Then you need to be able to see the road in front of you, and see pedestrians who may wind up in front of your vehicle (that SHOULD preclude these massive lifted monster trucks and the giant bro-dozers manufactured with a solid 10 foot tall wall for a front grille from being on the road as well, but those unfortunately remain legal at this time).

Stupid ≠ a reason to ban something.

I will say that while I’ve seen squatted trucks (and full size sedans for that matter), I haven’t seen any which are nearly as extreme as OP’s first pic.
