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 work in the US auto industry. I'm not happy about this shit either.

Also, F650 is a rare vehicle so it really isn't a good one to be mad about. F150's and F250's are everywhere though

Most people in Europe shake their heads an F150... Even as a work car it's terrible

Professional trucks here are the ford custom transit

Give me a Mitsubishi L200 any time over an American made truck.

In my eyes it's just as bad as any other pickup. It's not even a real pickup. It's a wannabe pickup

I work at a large company with a lot of trucks and truck people. Never seen one.

I'd love a ranger but they are a still a bit big. Fwiw I live in the woods so it would be a work truck.
