I've literally only seen F650's in the wild that had big box trailers on them being used as commercial hauling vehicles. This picture of one is the only time I've ever seen one seemingly for personal use.
I recall at a place I used to work. There was an older guy who drove a similar monstrosity to work, GMC 6500... maybe. Im 6'3" and could easily walk under the mirrors.
I noticed after about a week that it hadn't moved. Finally, I got curious after 3 weeks of seemingly no movement from it and asked around.
Apparently, the guy that owned it, was climbing in to leave and fell backward out of it. Spent 2-3 months in the hospital recovering. No one needs one of these things

Damnit, another mark against me on judgment day for laughing at this.
We're going through the same thing you guys did eighty years ago. Maybe we'll finally see reason when our own Hitler and Eva Braun are cornered by the rest of the world, and shoot each other in the head to escape punishment. We'll send the cremated remains for you to dump in the Rhine, assuming any of us are still alive.
you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle
Even that is a bullshit argument. I'm 6'4" and drive a Toyota Aqua (Prius C in the states)
As a European, that’s definitely an impractical, asshole vehicle. You couldn’t drive or park that anywhere here.
As a guy though? Gotta love a big, fuck you vehicle. It’s like a giant kids toy. Highly impractical, but I bet you’d giggle if you drove it. Only Americans could ever build something like that.
I’m from the states and I’ve never seen this outside of it being used as a tow truck or something.
I mostly would see f-150 and f-250. Sometimes you see a 350, but that’s rare.
