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.
Last time I got in a tow truck (incidentally my old pick up truck broke down) it was a brand new F350. It was 6 months old. They’d put 150,000 miles on it in that time, and were hoping to get 6 more months out of it.
That’s not to refute your point, obviously tow trucks are a special case. It’s just my fun tangential story.
Anyway I live in a fun area where, where I grew up was surrounded by farms and where I live now, 15 minutes away, is middle of the city. I’ve seen more of the big super duty trucks out in the country getting beat to shit than I do in the city, but there are definitely a lot of useless trucks around here.
I will say this about the older trucks, and why many guys who need a truck prefer them.
They’re cheap, easy to work on, and have full size beds. Modern trucks are the opposite of that in every regard, giant expensive monstrosities that you can’t fix yourself with a 3.5" bed, but room inside for 7.
