I think calling it lying is a bit far for what is being said here.
How is is lying to say that driving a large passenger vehicle is like
driving large truck?  Except for the size of the vehicle all standard
skills of driving apply in about the same way.  Now, if you are
wondering where your 6 friends are supposed to be riding in the moving
van and are lied to about  it, that's a valid complaint.
