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.

    At this point just classify them as minibuses like they did with classifying SUVs as light trucks. That’ll hopefully put enough of the transit haters off buying them /s

      It requires a CDL to drive. It needs the same level of drivers license as a full sized bus. OP is completely off the mark.

        It [minibuses I assume] requires a CDL to drive.

        Gee I wonder why. Could it be because they’re heavy and way more dangerous than a regular sedan and therefore requires more skill and training to operate safely? If a truck is almost as heavy as a vehicle that requires a CDL and we know for a fact that accidents involving them are far more deadly, what excuse does it have to not require a CDL? Requiring a higher order license to operate trucks past a certain weight seems fair honestly, if you really need this thing for a job site then you should already have the the relevant license, and it would discourage people from buying these as their grocery getter.
