Big vs little in same Ford truck family: F50 (Maverick) vs. huge F650 race car tow vehicle

[RLmesc]

But does that F650 have an eco mode?

YES, well sorta... it has ECHO mode, you can hear it comes from across the canyon.

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.

You are correct on all accounts. It has a wrap and it matches its trailer but both and their two Porsche race cars are all for sale after this race season (so I've been told) Moving to Montana soon to become dental floss tycoons... I may have made that last part up.

Meh. At work I have an F-750.

 

[GPSMan]

I think this may be a 950.

When I was a kid and dad was the local sheriff, I just worried what his F-ing 10-20 was. LOL

Yes it does, Emptying Cash Out of your pocket at fill up.

I guess I don't see the point of comparing two vehicles like that - no more than comparing a truck to a tank?

Depends which direction you’re going and who is shooting at you.

My Maverick vs huge F650 race car tow vehicle that my friends own to tow their Porsches to Road America.

What is the deal with the satin black on the hood and blacked out headlight sections? ( and as someone else asked, the blue stripes {on the hood}). It looks great to me. How about some more pics of just the Mav??

My hybrid Mav can tow one Porsche.

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

You can fit a Porshe in that trailer? Looks like Shasta.

I designed them along with probably another half dozen designs. I had a custom wrap/sign company make them. I love how the dark carbon fiber are subtle and blend into the lower plastic components. Three black-ish textures that do not over power the trucks designs. Copy if you like but please do not reuse the grateful dude name, I’ve tread on enough toes with that but have permission to do so. The dark lamps is just BAP

My compliments. I might just do the hood with maybe a silver stripe on the Atlas blue. Better watch that Ford doesn't copy it.

Thanks for the pics
