I would have to think that 4 or 5 rounds, center of mass on the grill, would have to enough effect to at least seriously slow the vehicle. Anybody got an old beater they want to donate as a test subject?
Those same 4 or 5 rounds though the windshield into the driver would be more effective IMHO.
Possibly, but with your average person* I think they'd have a better chance killing the speeding truck than the driver.

*We here are, of course, all above average.
