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 live in the south, you never see these things in real life, and i’m deep in truck country.

    these things are comically impractical. like you couldn’t pull into a parking garage, or much of anything with this. you’d be parking and walking to wherever you were trying to go. they would likely hit the limit sign and overhang on a typical McDonald’s.

    the much more common trucks would be F150/250’s.

      The F150 is a great workhorse of a truck, but yeah a fuck-tun of people are fetching McFlurries with them.

      I know where one of these is, has a for sale sign on it outside the heavy truck wash in Brooks, Alberta.
