I swear to god, the Ford F-750 looks like if you had asked AI to design the biggest lifted pickup specifically for the dudes with fragile masculinities and court-mandated anger management classes.

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

F-750 is sold for specialized uses, as ambulance, crane vehicle, etc. It is a commercial vehicle, not a normal truck for private individuals. In fact, this picture is a modified F-750(well technically all F-750 are modified). Normally the truck comes just as a base platform and then you build stuff on it.

yeah, my dad had one back in the day. No extended cab, no bed, no fancy chrome trimmings, was the very front and a rear frame platform. He had a box truck style trailer on his when he was doing contract work.

is that what it looks like out the factory?

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 25 points 2 months ago

No, Ford sells the F750 as a cab-and-frame to companies that use the chassis as the platform for building utility vehicles. That image is a custom creation.

It's not far off. It's basically a compacted SEMI TRUCK

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

If by not far off you mean the cab, with out the extension, and a rear frame platform. Then sure, but it is significantly different looking IMO.

But in the style of night rider with 57% Tonka truck.

At that point, you may as well just buy a school bus.
