America has lost its f*****g mind.

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.
Lol, I'm 6'4" and I drive an old Japanese import, comfortably. It's an 89 supra, so it's not as good on gas as it could be. But certainly better than many other options. But I just love it. Hard to part with it.
And also literally every other vehicle I have gotten into was at least viable if not also comfortable, except for one, I tried to sit in a miata. I can safely say those are not intended for people my size. But I'm not particularly overweight. Certainly could be in better shape than I am, but most people who look at me would assume I weigh significantly less, just because height adds more weight than morst people account for. I don't know if being overweight would make a big difference in which cars are comfortable for my height. The only way I can really see it is if it cuts more into leg room.
Either way, it's definitely not "hard to find" cars a person my size can fit into.
An 89 Supra is awesome no matter how uncomfortable you are. But Toyota rarely makes a truly uncomfortable car
I'm a big guy at 6' 7" I didn't want a truck, I wanted an SUV at the most but everything I sat in was too narrow and my head was jammed against the ceiling.
I bought a truck in the end because it was the only thing I was comfortable in. Up until that point in my life I had been driving older Cadillac's because of the room, but keeping those boats in working order was getting cost prohibitive.
I used to drive an 86 Honda Civic hatchback.
Used to hang out with a friend of mine who was a Greek body builder. I think he weighed 280. He could bench 550 lbs. Car sagged when he sat in it, but car still worked. Also carried 12 cmu blocks in the car... 500 lbs with 2 people in it.
You do not need a truck to drive around. Americans are car stupid.
