If it's any encouragement I've never actually seen one of these on the road and it is absolutely inaccessible to 99% of Americans.

Most trucks are not this big, but some people definitely push the limits of useful or wise.

At this point just classify them as minibuses like they did with classifying SUVs as light trucks. That'll hopefully put enough of the transit haters off buying them /s

I mean... f*ck cars for sure, but exotic specialty work vehicles like this are not really the problem. This is a $150000 truck; nobody is buying this to impress the neighbors. They're buying it to haul trailers and stuff.

Most of us wouldn't be seen dead in such a small truck. The back axle only has a single set of tires and the child crusher isn't even installed on the front grill.

Its literally the fucking compensator from saints row the third.

They're either flexing or they think those gas-guzzling monstrosities will help them win the impending second civil war which is slated to start next year.

Either way, it's fucking retarded

Drove one once, air brakes so can't legally be driven by everyone (where I live anyway). The owner got it to bring fuel to his machinery, he got it used and it was cheaper than a similarly equipped F350...

At what point should he just buy a Semi and put a short truck bed on it!?

About 35% of us have been groomed to be cavemen.

You sound angry and come off pretty annoying to be honest This looks like a project car someone customized for himself. Do you get this angry at people who purchase power boats? Also, I think Germans are more obsessed with McDonald’s than normal income Americans.

But I needed to tow a 3.5 tonne (3500kg) trailer and it's just not possible /s

Been around for ages. They're usually outfitted as small lorries, catering trucks, moving vans, small fire engines, ambulances, tow trucks, etc. It's pretty rare to see one as a consumer vehicle.

Almost nobody can actually have one of these. Also, maybe my unpopular opinion, it is possible to have hobbies involving cars (or motorsports) and also be opposed to the foundational reliance in them for day to day use -- granted this is likely not the case with someone who buys a super duty truck just for glam points.

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 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.

American here, I don't think I've ever seen someone who uses something like this as their daily driver (I do not live in Texas. No one knows what goes down in Texas). I believe this vehicle is mainly for companies, and I believe (I could be wrong) that consumers can only go up to the F-250 or the F-350. Every time I've seen an F-650, it's been a company vehicle. They're also not very common here as well (at least where I am), and I believe I've only seen like 2 F-650s in my entire life. While that may be two too many for this community, I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen more. Apparently Ford has an F-750 as well, but I've only see one of them before, and it was very surprising. I hope this helps you understand! (At least from my point of view.)

The F650 is pretty much the last thing you buy before you need a proper semi/tractor truck. I have seen a few, and known someone with one; and they routinely use it for cash hauls to make a living. Paying LTL (less than truck load) rates are very expensive and slow compared to hiring a contractor to haul something you need in a timely manner. The guy I knew that owned one used it to make a living hauling farm and construction equipment long distances.

Most F650's that are produced will not have a bed, because they either get fitted with a flatbed or a cargo box.

How are you supposed to be aware of who is walking in front of you in that thing???

I'm actually 6' 4"

Small sedans are a bit uncomfortable sure but yeah absolutely wild. A little Nissan Kicks fits just fine

These types should do us all a favor and roll coal in the privacy of their closed garages.

On behalf of the 6’4” community, I miss my ‘98 Honda Accord daily. Stolen and mutilated only a couple road trips shy of 300k miles. Cut down in it’s prime.
