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.

Do you just search the internet for vague American shit to get mad about? Been all over this country and I’ve never seen one of these outside commercial use.

I've never seen a "Ford F650" either. I live in California and most vehicles are small and nimble, including a lot of Teslas lately. Ten years ago a lot of Priuses.

I've seen maybe three of them, and one was at the Chicago Auto Show.

Most people in the market for a truck like this go for the dedicated commercial manufacturers, like Mack or International.

I usually see the F-450/550/650 tow trucks and the sort. I've also seen some fire departments with them for some specialty type vehicles.
