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.

    meh, I am 197cms and 150kgs and I can fit into a Skoda Fabia, but it’s not like it’s comfortable, I can also fit into my Hyundai i40 CW(or Estate or Combi), but I was on a safety training and If I set things up properly it’s too small for me, but I fit more comfortably in there, still my knee sometimes hits the ESR button and turns it off, which they for some reason put in a very stupid place, (it’s also under the heated seat buttons, so if you accidentally mishit it during winter, well that’s the time you really need ESR). So I could definitely use a bigger car, or a different layout, I was looking at the new VW id.buzz, since it’s a more upright seating position.

    But yeah, if I can fit into a Skoda Fabia 1st gen, then Americans definitely have a big car fetish.

    here are the two cars in comparison: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/skoda-fabia-2004-5-door-hatchback-vs-hyundai-i40-2011-estate/

    And here is the comparison for my i40Cw which is considered a rather big car in Europe to a Ford F-150

    there are like 2 of these American Pick Up trucks where I live and it’s fucking comical how much they stand out, I wanna take a photo when I remember, but seeing them parked between the normal sized European cars it’s just something else.
