Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.

    These are work vehicles, bought by people who do work.

    The amount of pavement princesses out there says otherwise.

      If we were talking about the F150 and trucks like it, sure. The F250 and up are a completely different matter. They don’t share much except the name similarity.

      OP was aimed at the completely wrong target.

        The F150 is still a dual cab monstrosity. It’s foot print is still close to the OPs pic.

            not trucks people actually need to get work done.

            Which would likely be a transit, not a jacked up 4 wheel drive beast.

              Uhh, yes. What do you think you need to haul 26,000 lbs? Trucks like that need long travel suspensions. The fact that a bunch of posers are taking that look and applying it for dick-waving purposes does not change the physics of how suspensions work.
