America has lost its f*****g mind. - eviltoast

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.

      I don’t know how common it is, I don’t want to blurt a wrong opinion about it.

      That said, a friend of mine went to the US to work as a construction manager for a few months and he was given an F750 for the time he was there by the construction company. It was kitted with a small box that was too high to actually use and really they only used it to posture about how important their position was.

      I understand this might not be common at all, I’m not saying it is, I just want you to understand how this doesn’t happen anywhere else at all.

      It’s just that, it is such a crazy thing to exist that it just boggles the mind. It’s excessive even for most commercial applications.

      If I see three in an hour drive, that seems common enough to me. Go kiss your mother with that sewer mouth.
