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.

    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.
