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 recall at a place I used to work. There was an older guy who drove a similar monstrosity to work, GMC 6500… maybe. Im 6’3" and could easily walk under the mirrors.

    I noticed after about a week that it hadn’t moved. Finally, I got curious after 3 weeks of seemingly no movement from it and asked around.

    Apparently, the guy that owned it, was climbing in to leave and fell backward out of it. Spent 2-3 months in the hospital recovering. No one needs one of these things

      A lot of cherry picker trucks are 6500s, that’s definitely a commercial truck.

      I would dispute the assertions that no one needs those things, but I would agree that no one outside of a commercial setting is really going to need that much truck.

      Damnit, another mark against me on judgment day for laughing at this.
