I'm 6'5" and I don't fit in any of this garbage. These trucks are built for short men with mental stability issues
No these trucks are built for uhauls, ambulances, and tow trucks. It's got nothing to do with buyer preference and everything to do with necessity of use.
Nobody needs this truck. Nobody.
Ambulances need this truck. Propane delivery needs this truck. Crash recovery needs this truck. The list goes on
An ambulance is an f650?
Yes
Oh ok. I learned something today. FWIW I meant that people don't need the truck from the picture. I've seen my fair share of way too large trucks out here in the Midwest
Wow. It's almost 2024 and there's still idiots openly body shaming and making mental illness a joke. As society progresses forward you can go ahead and just stay behind.
Maybe people with mental illness and anger problems shouldn't be driving around 5 ton trucks
Also who is body shaming? I'm 100% saying they weren't built for TALL people. I'm not saying short is bad
My bad. Now that I have read your comment again, I see that you mention these trucks are built for short people. I think it's wonderful that you stand with the vertically challenged and that they have a vehicle that caters to their needs. It's a shame that most people don't see that and I'm glad you are a voice for the minority.
Wow. It's almost 2024 and idiots still get offended at the most basic shit. Either you are a short man with some hefty insecurity or you are a snowflake who gets offended on everybody else's behalf. Either way, stay mad.
It's not that I'm mad. Personally I don't give a shit. But I do stand up for minorities against bullies such as yourself. It's the least I can do being as privileged as I am. I mean who else is going to speak out if I don't use this platform to do so.
