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.
And you realize the F150 is hugely dissimilar to something like the 650. right? The only commonality is that they’re both trucks and they’re both made by Ford.
The current gen F150’s have their own stupid design aspects, as well, and you’d never catch me buying one. But they’re not comparable. The F650 is 20.5 inches wider than the F150 and in its shortest factory bed configuration is 19.3 inches longer than the longest factory bed and cab combination of the F150.
They. Are. Not. The. Same. Thing.
Do you even realise that you’re defending owning an F150? That’s not a normal car to own, not even close. F150 is closer to F650 than it is to Fiat 500.
It’s a very reasonably normal vehicle to own if you do a lot of towing, construction, etc. Heavy vehicles exist for a reason. No it’s not for commuting or shopping trips, but there are many other reasons to own a vehicle.
People outside of US do that all without F150 and other American cancer. You don’t need a truck for anything.
Do you not realize a truck is a van without a top? No difference. Trucks are extremely useful in the US. Yes you can do those things without a truck, but it’s easier with a truck. Honestly with your “American Cancer” statement, you’re sounding pretty xenophobic and I don’t appreciate it.
You got me…it’s not even TWO FEET bigger…clearly that’s a completely different vehicle.
That’s hilarious…I honestly thought I was kind of bullshitting about the dimensions…Phew…
Go out to your car (or your neighbor’s car if you’re one of those types) with a tape measure and some masking tape, and mask off 20.5" from the side of his vehicle to get a feel for how much bigger that is. Do the whole thing, all the way around. Make a whole box the size of the footprint of an F650. Tell me if it will even still fit in its parking space anymore.
And then kindly shut the fuck up, because you are obviously either a little kid with no perspective or experience with the world, or you have the mentality of one.
I’m really sorry you’re 4 feet tall and feel envious of us 6-footers, but it is a big difference
