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.

    20.5 inches wider

    You got me…it’s not even TWO FEET bigger…clearly that’s a completely different vehicle.

    That’s hilarious…I honestly thought I was kind of bullshitting about the dimensions…Phew…

      Go out to your car (or your neighbor’s car if you’re one of those types) with a tape measure and some masking tape, and mask off 20.5" from the side of his vehicle to get a feel for how much bigger that is. Do the whole thing, all the way around. Make a whole box the size of the footprint of an F650. Tell me if it will even still fit in its parking space anymore.

      And then kindly shut the fuck up, because you are obviously either a little kid with no perspective or experience with the world, or you have the mentality of one.

        Damn…I’m really sorry about your penis. I’d say it gets better, but well…Keep buying the big trucks I guess.

        Seriously though…go get a 2 seater anything and drive about 100 miles. Tell me which giant ass SUV or Truck really stood out to you? They all just kind of blur together in a McDonald’s super sized orgy of excess. Does it really matter if it’s a jacked up F250 or a regular sized F650…they’re embarrassing.

          Man you’re just trying to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Have you ever tried actually being reasonable?

          Not American, not into big trucks but thought I’d Google a 150 beside a 650 to get an idea of what they look like, they do indeed seem to be on a completely different scale and I’d tend to agree the 650 appears to be a commercial vehicle.

      Looking up current trucks, the F150 varies from 209-228" long and it’s 96" wide. That means there’s a 21% increase in width and a bit less than 10% in length.

      If that isn’t significant to you, I will happily accept 20% of your paycheck at your convenience.

      I’m really sorry you’re 4 feet tall and feel envious of us 6-footers, but it is a big difference
