The correct answer is: **The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.**

Kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. Since the truck has a greater mass than the car and they are moving at the same speed, the truck will have more kinetic energy.
