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.

    I have absolutely seen an F650 in a “Reserved for VP of ___” space at a Boston office Park.

    Ok, I think it was an F650. I am shit with car makes and models, but it towered over my friend’s F250 and looked like that picture.

      Most likely a 350. I’m a truck driver and have never seen a 650 used as a personal vehicle like the pic. Driven all over the country, in almost every state. And by your own admission you’re shit at recognizing make and model.

        No, but I’m not terrible at recognizing size. An F350, even an F450 look like slightly bigger F250s (just like an F250 is like a fat F150). I meant I couldn’t have qualified it as a “ford as big as a tow truck” or “dodge as big as a tow truck”, but it was “as big as a tow truck and nothing like any of those other ones”.

        Have you spent much time in office parks in Boston or New York? The shit you see is stupid-level.

          F350s don’t look any bigger than an F250. They’re essentially the same truck. Only real difference is heavier suspension and the option for dually. If anything the f250 can look bigger if it’s 4x4 and the 350 beside it is 2wd. F450s are noticeable larger.
