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.

    This is probably some religious fanatics who believe God gave the earth to mankind to exploit to the limits of their desire. It’s* fucking dumb.

    Everyone just sits back and looks at these people with these massive trucks and wonders if they know that we all know about their dicks. We do.

    If you drive this truck, most Americans recognize that there is something very broken inside of you, and we’re ashamed that the US auto industry is allowed to precipitate this public nuisance. It’s indistinguishable from how intellectually and socially mature Americans view people who make firearms part of their identity, and the industry that is allowed to precipitate the public nuisance that is the gun violence, another great American shame.

    We are outnumbered. Send love.

    • I’ve never seen a consumer truck this large in person. Only special, heavy equipment, for farming, military, or construction is this large. It’s a novelty toy, as others have said, for wealthy people with dumb luck. I don’t know trucks well enough to say what models I see, but I do see some big trucks. This is a bit of a charicature. In fact this is a commercial truck that someone–seems like it’s an option from Ford directly, or an independent custom shop–specced out as a luxury four-door pickup. Normally, this engine and chassis is specced out as a cab and frame, and sold out to commercial custom shops that are turning them into fire engines or freezer trucks, utility trucks, and what not. In Europe though, I think even the freezer trucks and fireengines are much smaller. One difference being that when the automobile came to our parts of the world, Americans had much more space, and I think it turn our common law of public ways and easements adapted to larger vehicles; like at some point the law had to recognize property rights granted for the purpose of transport (virtually everywhere you go) of people and goods had to adapt to the mode of transport: horse teams, to truck drivers (teamsters).
