Cool Truck

The only reason to buy a truck like that is to compensate for your mom boofin' you with a strap-on.
Those were popular for a while here, and I actually wanted one. There's a Ford dealer who was selling F700s with pickup beds. Always had 4-5 on the lot. Prices were around $60k for a regular cab gas engine. I think they gave em up once they saw the gas bill, or moved on to overpriced luxury SUVs and H2s.
You see a lot of the freightliner extended cabs with the utility bed for snowbirds hauling 5th wheels and companies hauling their race cars around. Might make sense there as you can do a condo sleeper or storage in the cab.

I think it looks different and kinda cool, but as far as practicality goes, hmmm well it goes somewhere. I d rather get a Unimog. This one looks like the International trucks i ve seen a while back.
I think the Kodiak is good for a comfy wrecker for customers since it is relatively low, but that truck and those F650s are too tall for that and definitely too ridiculous for daily use.
WTF would you put a cap on the bed of a truck like that? The only reason for having a truck like that would be for towing, and who the hell wants to tow a huge bumper pull trailer...
You guys have it all wrong....they're specially designed for the huge morbidly obese women in spandex who shop at Walmart.
I don't see the issue? Just because you don't have a need for them doesn't mean they don't fill a niche. I used to work for a guy who owned one, he used it to haul his horses to shows around the country. It did exactly what he asked it.
It gets terrible gas mileage, but if you can afford a truck like that, mpgs are the least of your worries. The thing will pull a beached whale, and you can't beat it for long range comfort.

Just saw one like that the other day at the store. What do you do with it? It's like the guys with Chevy/Ford diesel truck with 15" of lift and 4 shocks on each wheel with smokestacks through the bed. Brings new meaning to the term mall crawler. I don't get it.

One of my coworkers has a Chevy version of that (quad-cab pickup). Some day, I'll post a photo of his drop-down hitch ball mount - like a dog's tongue dangling two feet down.Slappy said:
My fantasy does not go far enough to come up with a good use of it. The [standard-sized pickup] bed floor is too high for a gooseneck.
His reason for buying it - "I've got a great deal on it."
