I just googled "Ford 750". No way this shit exists for real, seems like a Hot Wheels
The idea is that it's the base for things like a dump truck, a gravel hauler, small firetruck, or other large commercial vehicle.
If anyone is driving one around as a form of transportation, they are probably avoiding therapy.
I've used them for work. Some models can pull more than small tractor trailer rigs. Using them as a pickup truck is insane.
Yep: 650 dump trucks, 750 utility bed cranes.
It's a commercial vehicle. Very few, if any, people drive them as normal commuter vehicles.
Okay because despite being a commercial vehicle I would have believed someone telling me that it's mostly used to commute in a residential area lol. Often people drive pickups because they feel they need a truck even tho they never use the bed
Neither of those are stock. Not even close.
Nooooo. They’re on the internet so they’re real.
Serious answer here. So the black truck comes as a truck builder option. You buy the cab, engine and suspension (frame obviously too) and customize from there. The truck is designed to provide PTO and electrical interface for development. They’re a pain to work on. The one of a kind I worked on were. https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/f650-f750/models/f750-sd-diesel-straight-frame/
Jesus yeah did the same, hahhahah that is the most ridiculous emotional support vehicle I have ever seen!!!!
It was a work truck from a commercial trucking company. Likely a dump truck or flatbed. Insurance will pay for the damages and the driver shit canned.
That's a good one lol
Gender affirming vehicle?
Gotta need the big cabin to hold in the driver's lonely emotions
This was work truck hauling crushed gravel. So it was basically acting like a small dump truck.
