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.

    Have you ever tried to fit a tall motorcycle in a van? A KTM for example?

    I have - it’s a pain in the ass. For example you have to remove the front wheel or it won’t fit under the roof, then figure out some way to securely attach the front to some sort of skateboard so it will roll in.

    With a utility you can just roll it in straight in. Doesn’t matter if it sticks up a metre over the cab.

    Also, I wouldn’t want to drive a van down this road, which happens to be the best place near me to ride a KTM (and I need a car to take food/fuel/beer/etc to the base camp) https://youtube.com/watch?v=7cOSuutfshY
