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've seen a lot of trucks but never one of these IRL.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've only seen one of these at a car show. Just once.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The only time I've seen this car was on MTV cribs once maybe 20 years ago.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah we have those. I think I've only ever seen 1 or 2. It's a drop in the bucket compared to all the semi trucks we rely on but that doesn't excuse the people who buy them to take their kids to school and buy groceries. Except for Shaq, I guess. I think he bought one and customized it so he can have enough leg room.

My uncle had something similar. He raced drag boats. He used it to transport his mobile pit. It wasn't a daily driver.

I saw this thing on Cribs once. T-Pain had it. Fucking hood of the car was a good foot over his fucking head. It's literally a semi-trailer cab.

6'4'' don't fit in anything else

My fucking ass. I'm 6'6'' and the only vehicle I've ever not actually been able to fit in was a Jeep Wrangler.

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

Holy crap. At work I drive a Chevy 3500 hd dumptruck with a plow and that thing feels almost too big to be on the road. Ford has completely lost it making a truck twice the size.

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)
