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.

Back when I lived in red NY, there was a guy who lived near me with a similar truck that flew the trump, blue stripe, and Confederate flags

That car would terrify me to drive. My wife has a Rav4 which is a "small" SUV and it's too big for me to drive. My Prius is really too big for me. America doesn't do small cars anymore and it sucks.

Yeah. Let's get upset at a car that even Americans posting here admit they've never seen on the road. It's a piece of crap, but hardly a problem worth paying any attention to.

I only saw two of these ridiculous vehicles it was outside a gas station in ... The black forest.

There's plenty of americans that hate cars like that. I live in a rural area where anyone needs cars. But normally I just ride my bike from place to place. But at night I have my dog and my high powered flashlights on foot.

you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle

Even that is a bullshit argument. I'm 6'4" and drive a Toyota Aqua (Prius C in the states)

I've literally only seen F650's in the wild that had big box trailers on them being used as commercial hauling vehicles. This picture of one is the only time I've ever seen one seemingly for personal use.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I’m from the states and I’ve never seen this outside of it being used as a tow truck or something.

I mostly would see f-150 and f-250. Sometimes you see a 350, but that’s rare.
