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.
This isn’t even a 350
This is a heavily modified F650(750?). They took a commercial truck and slapped a pickup truck body on it. It’s comically useless, and costs 150 thousand dollars.
Here’s a video where a guy reviews it.

150k is about how much you’ll pay for a RAM here in Australia - and dickheads are still buying them.
Ah, the worst of the American trucks.
For that much money I could clean out an entire used truck lot, and have enough left over for another entire used truck lot, and I would have like 30 Dodge rams. So enough to make one last most of the rest of the year.
We call them Dodge Deweys (DUIs) because of that factoid that the Ram 2500 has the most drivers of any truck brand/model with a DUI under their belt.
Literally. Rams are horrible
I try so hard to convince myself it’s selection bias, but Ford Ranger drivers really do feel like the absolute worst fucking drivers on the roads in Australia. Like I don’t see a single one that doesn’t drive like an absolute fucking loser.
These American and American-style shitheaps are a fucking scourge
While there’s probably some correlation, the Ranger is also the best selling car in Australia - so there’s lots of them.
Recently I was in a friend’s car and couldn’t believe how badly he drove; too fast into corners then not managing to stay in his lane, limit breaking to every traffic light then stopping over the line, speeding, weaving, etc and he drives a Volvo! I figured that at least I’d probably be safe when he crashed.
Yea I know, I didn’t say it was a 350 lol
What, it exists?! I thought it was some digital creation inspired by a 350, already an awful huge truck.
Edit: had to look at Ford’s website. The biggest pickup I could find there is an F450 Super Duty. There’s both an F650 and 750 as trucks without beds (“straight frame”). Those actual trucks.
Yeah, it’s not a stock truck. You can’t go to any dealership and buy that truck. You have to buy a commercial truck and take it to a company to turn it in to that monstrosity.
Your average half ton pickup is 70-80k now.
