As someone who used to work for 5 years out of F650 CCs, that is hilarious, I don't care how much leather is in there I would never want to drive one unless I was towing something. Hell the F550s were way faster towed almost as well, cabin was the same size and had half as much maintenance. Also they got stuck in soft grass(granted I'm talking about 18 and 22ft beds). They were a lot easier to drive than something like a big Freightliner but those pickup chassis models are just hilarious. But hey if you got money and like a novelty Ford will make ya a truck.

Gotta say I think that Maverick is upstaging that 650!

I've always wanted to buy a truck like that F650 just for the sake of coming out of a crash alive when everyone around me had 2500 series trucks and are either distracted or drunk and end up getting in head on collisions with cars as they veer into oncoming lanes. The amount of crosses all around the roads where people have died is very sad to see.

90 percent of the time your Maverick will haul the same amount of people and materials. I’d say you’re winning!

How come no one is talking about the blue stripe??

My hybrid Mav can tow one Porsche.

How many are they towing at once that necessitated a 650?

Let’s see those Porsches! 911 fanboy here

On a side note..... can you imagine being any car at least 200 feet behind this dude with those chrome bumpers? Should be illegal as that bumper and mud flaps would reflect your headlight right back at you.

Semi truck drivers die all the time. The roofline of that truck isnt any stronger than a 350 and if it rolls. Thats just more chassis to crush you. Fender benders and really impact with a car while you arent moving fast will barely cause any damage but you get one of those off its wheels survival chances go way down.

But does that F650 have an eco mode?

They have twin stacker trailer that matches it so that would be two and all the tools to rebuild another one LOL

you can see their twin stacker behind the truck (black) in the photo where you cannot see my Maverick

I'd rather drive a "normal sized truck" and get a 5th wheel. What a hideous truck that F650 is. Even worse with the "trucker flair". I think given the cost of it, I'd rather just buy a Peterbilt or Kenworth. I dunno... I've done zero research on towing capacity for those things but I suspect it can't be much different than a truck with a 5th wheel. What other reason would there be to chose this gaudy excuse for an Expedition. Bed height alone makes it pretty much useless unless you enjoy using a ladder.

I wouldn't drive one of those massive things for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
ok, if someone gave me a million bucks to drive it, I would. After all I could buy 40 mavericks for that if I could only get a VIN and build date!
