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.

Wow. It's almost 2024 and there's still idiots openly body shaming and making mental illness a joke. As society progresses forward you can go ahead and just stay behind.

Maybe people with mental illness and anger problems shouldn't be driving around 5 ton trucks

Also who is body shaming? I'm 100% saying they weren't built for TALL people. I'm not saying short is bad

My bad. Now that I have read your comment again, I see that you mention these trucks are built for short people. I think it's wonderful that you stand with the vertically challenged and that they have a vehicle that caters to their needs. It's a shame that most people don't see that and I'm glad you are a voice for the minority.

Wow. It's almost 2024 and idiots still get offended at the most basic shit. Either you are a short man with some hefty insecurity or you are a snowflake who gets offended on everybody else's behalf. Either way, stay mad.

It's not that I'm mad. Personally I don't give a shit. But I do stand up for minorities against bullies such as yourself. It's the least I can do being as privileged as I am. I mean who else is going to speak out if I don't use this platform to do so.
