Just saw one of these in a car park, a Ford F350. What are the point of these things in Ireland?

  1. They are a monstrous size. I actually had to stop and look at it. The bonnet was just under head height, the wheels are colossal and the length of the thing!

    Spend your money however you wish but the sheer inconvenience of this thing on awkward Irish roads can’t be worth the hassle, can it?

  5. The concept of being a massive cunt knows no geographical borders.

  6. Safety wise these are a joke. Zero visibility from driver seat, kids invisible to the driver

  8. Guy across the way drives one of these. Always spotless. He’s also a dick to everyone.

  9. As someone with an unusually small pepe i think its great 👌

  10. There is no legitimate reason to need this. A Toyota Hilux is smaller and well beat it in most things. This is a thing a person wanted. And lookit, it won’t work in most Irish towns so lol

  11. They can’t be sold new here. I’m wondering if it would be possible to import one, but that one has no plates.

    The F350 is one of the biggest trucks they make, even in America that’s considered a huge vehicle.

    It’s completely impractical here, wouldn’t even fit in a parking space.

  12. I’ve seen something similar and the thing I don’t understand is, wouldn’t the curb weight on a dually f350 like this be around the license limit for a B license. I’m pretty sure you put 3 adult men in this thing and anything else really and it’s classed as a actual truck, meaning truck insurance, truck license, CDL license etc. 

  13. I had an F150 and an F250 when I was working in Canada. They are some serious peace of kits. Amazing for off-road and lovely to cruise down the motorway/highway, but I couldn’t imagine driving one over here. The roads are way to small for it but they do tax as a commercial. Fueling it would be a nightmare.

  14. They’re a great way to kill pedestrians if you’re into that sort of thing.

  15. I saw a Dodge Ram in Kildare Village before christmas with Polish reg plates. They’re absolutely tankish in diameter.

  16. They make it a lot easier to mount kerbs and dismember pedestrians.

  17. It’s top of the line in utility sports, unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.

  20. There’s an extremely slim chance they need a high horsepower pickup for towing large loads. Given I have never once seen one in Ireland towing anything bigger than what a regular jeep can handle I’d wager some dickhead owns it.

  21. Seen a gobshite driving a hummer h2 around Amsterdam, 3 point turn for every turn.

  22. I don’t get big cars in Ireland at all, specially in cities, when car park space can barely fit my tiny car, this monstrocity would require two to four spaces surely.

  24. I do believe that the sole purpose of owning said ‘truck’ is a neurological condition in which a man with a very very small willy believes he is “packing a weapon”

    Origin…… you can guess!

  25. I live in Canada and they’re everywhere. Ppl who don’t need them have them and they’re are some aggressive fuckers on the highways. It’s annoying as fuck.

  27. None at all. They can be configured into commercial vehicles with all kinds of equipment on the back like cranes and other heavy things but those jobs can also be done by transit vans and old defenders for much cheaper. The advantage they have over vans is their tremendous towing capacity which is still half that of a new scania l-series lorry which has a shorter chassis. I imagine they’re quite comfortable on a motorway but not as comfortable as any luxury car from the last 15 years which can also comfortably enter urban areas.
    There’s something to be said for a vehicle that can do it all but it can’t do it all at once.

  28. In Ireland? None whatsoever. Tradies are driving vans here with more load space.

  30. What’s the alternative? Walk up and hand everyone your business card that says ‘mammy says I’m a special boy’?

  31. One in the D24 area belongs to a well known drug dealer, make of that what you will…

  33. To kill pedestrians and people in reasonably sized cars, all for the sake of cosmetics and filling a void in their hollow masculinity

  34. They’re to let everyone around you know you’ve a microscopic willy
