No. The large truck has more kinetic energy than the car. Mass is a variable in the equation for determining kinetic energy. Kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass of the object time the speed (really velocity) squared.
Kinetic energy is equal to mv2/2, where m is mass and v is speed. Since speed is squared in this formula, changes in speed have a greater influence on the kinetic energy than do changes in mass.
Increase mass For a truck increase the load on the truck
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (or speed): KE = (1/2)mv2. At the same speed, obviously the heavier (and more massive) object will have more kinetic energy.
a matter of mass
The truck - greater mass.
When they're parked they do (which is zero). If a truck and golf cart were both moving at the same non-zero speed, the truck, being more massive, would have the greater kinetic energy.
Drive alongside it in another vehicle and then move stuff onto the truck. This will increase the mass of the [whole] truck and so increase its KE. This is dangerous so do not try it!
Kinetic energy depends on mass AND on speed. For example, if all of these are at rest, they will all have zero kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared. Since the velocities are the same, they cancel out. Then kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the 2 objects. Since the truck has more mass, it will have more kinetic energy.
