America has lost its f*****g mind.
(feddit.de)
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.
What is absurd is that the high-numbered Fords used to be these enormous work-horse vehicles that weren't much used for personal vehicles.
You can see an example here of a 1990 Ford F-450 outfitted as a Dump Truck Flatbed
But, compare that to the "entry level" Ford F-150 of today and you see how ridiculous trucks are now.
Sure, this one is a novelty piece, but the ones on dealer lots that people are actually buying today are bigger than the commercial dump trucks of just 30 years ago.
