It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

My dad recently bought an F-350. He works in an office and lives in the suburbs. Why he willing chose to get 14mpg with post COVID gas prices is beyond me...

What gave them away?

Gas prices, mpg, or suburbs.

They only go up to F-250 in Germany, that's how.

With the quality of vehicles produced in Germany you’d have to mad to buy an American Ford F anything.

My dad owns a Ram 2500 4x4. Commutes 60 miles round trip everyday. Hasn't even used it to tow anything in 2 years.
