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.

I'm 6'5" and I don't fit in any of this garbage. These trucks are built for short men with mental stability issues

No these trucks are built for uhauls, ambulances, and tow trucks. It's got nothing to do with buyer preference and everything to do with necessity of use.

Nobody needs this truck. Nobody.

Ambulances need this truck. Propane delivery needs this truck. Crash recovery needs this truck. The list goes on

Oh ok. I learned something today. FWIW I meant that people don't need the truck from the picture. I've seen my fair share of way too large trucks out here in the Midwest
