All you need to know to answer this question is whether the truck is heavier than the car. Assuming this is true, yes, the truck does have a greater inertia. Inertia is related directly to mass, so because m_truck > m_car, inertia_truck > inertia_car. Generally, inertia refers to the ability to change the velocity of an object.
