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.
That’s fair, I should state, my perspective is from living in Alberta. Where high-school kids work out in the oil patch and come back with their first month’s pay and put themselves into 10 years of debt with the biggest pickup truck they can get. Then crash it a month later doing 150km/h on a dirt road back up to or down from work. Probably with a few beers in them.
I know that sounds like I’m describing one particular story that I have gotten hung up on, but I personally know at least 4 people where those details fit. The only one that varies between those 4 is whether they had been drinking. And I live in a small town.
It’s a bit of a joke around here that half the kids are paying off college debt, and the other half are paying off Truck debt. Although up here college debt doesn’t last anywhere near as long as Truck debt.
We do see way too many ornamental 350’s here. I assume that’s the biggest one you can buy normally or something like that.
