Ok seriously, what purpose is this truck meant for? I have a friend who does landscaping projects in the summer and haul trailers around the country with his Ram 2500 and that’s plenty enough. Something like this F650, I’d imagine the job will be more suitable for a semi truck or cargo truck. So who is this really…

I recommend burning it in the fireplace or wood stove... if you have either one in your home.

I hate trucks like these. If anything due to the perhaps unfair stereotype I perceive with people who drive these: Usually angry, aggressively conservative males who have low self esteems and think buying big scary trucks will get them the attention and “respect” they feel is lacking in their lives.

If this was going to be used for hauling shit as its primary purpose, I'd say NP. As soon as it crawls a mall or is on a joy ride, this is lame as fuck and deserves to be ridiculed into oblivion, and thus CP.

I used to see a lot of this type of truck out on the road pulling “hot shot” trailers. I once asked a driver about fuel mileage. I was surprised to learn that his truck got worse fuel mileage when towing than my Freightliner.

More manageable is debatable. This rig fits into a standard parking space no better than a Class 8, especially if you’re comparing to a cabover. Even with a sleeper, a cabover can be pretty nimble.

You have a point.

I’m voting Crack Pipe on this on principle. I hate old pre-*meaningful*-emissions diesels like this one mainly because I like clean air and I don’t like rising asthma and lung cancer rates.

That thing’s not about work, it’s about the “look at me, I’m rich” mindset that preceded the fall of the Roman Empire.

Definitely. This is crazy impractical.

Should go for something more practical for your family like a Lamborghini, of Ferrari F40.

What’s the point of having a gigantic truck with a fancy interior? I get towing, but a much smaller, economical truck is just as useful for the sort of towing most people would do. With an interior like this, it’s not a work truck, so what’s the fucking point?

Besides this absolutely being overpriced, these things are the most pointless pieces of shit if they’re not in XUV form. You need a ladder to even get in the bed and im pretty sure you need atleast a Class A license to drive it either way, if not a full CDL

If you actually want to tow something, this is better in every possible way.

Because they’re not allowed to put “penis replacement” on the plate

For what this thing can do, it’s nearly impossible to justify unless towing is WHAT you do. And if you tow that much, there are actual big rigs - some with sleepers - of the same model year that are for sale for less. More capability, more capacity and better suited for the job with less likelihood of failing under…

Why spend $50k on this truck when wearing an Ed Hardy shirt or a cowboy hat in public are both much cheaper ways to tell the world you are a douche with serious self esteem issues?

There is no mention of a fifth wheel, nor a different gate that would go with that fifth wheel.

*was* is supposed to be *wasn’t*

In this spec, it’s certainly a personal use vehicle.
