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.
The F-650 weight limit is 50,000lbs (including trailer) off the factory floor.
However it’s common to spend a hundred grand on modifications, and those can easily include suspension and braking upgrades which would allow higher weight limits (especially trailer weight, where almost none of the weight is actually on the truck itself).
If you need to tow a crane or something like that, this is a perfect truck to use as a starting point. It’s small enough to drive off the highway to job sites in residential/etc areas, but capable enough (especially modified) to handle loads that would normally require a full size truck I that can’t possibly be reversed between two houses to get the crane into someone’s back yard where you need it.
Europe has trucks like this too. They just aren’t from a culturally popular brand like Ford.
