pikehunter Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 http://truck.hownd.c...uty-trucks.html F650 Wife and I were shopping at the mall surrounding the Queenston Rd. Canadian Tire (Hamilton) Fri. evening. Got into the car and were about to leave and noticed an orange truck parked around the side just like the one in the picture. What a monster! Just started the engine to pull away and a young fella is getting into the car next to us, it's a buddy of my son who works at Can. Tire and we pointed the truck out to him. Says it's the store owner and just then it starts up and the truck roars off past us. The kid says yep! I'm insured on it too 'cause it's under the store's insurance but I just gotta convince him to let me drive it once. What a toy! Guess the Crappy Tire store owner is making the big bucks eh?

pics Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 It just seems dumb to me to own a truck like that....but then again if I had a tricked out boat, someone would say "it's a dumb idea to own something like that...." Imagine that hitting a Honda Fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike01 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 unless you are pulling a transport trailer what the point. Yeah, maybe a tricked out F-350 or something like that would be reasonable, but common, that thing is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Those F650 pickups have been around for a while. They're popular with guys who pull really massive boats and RVs (go to a Poker Run, with all the big 40-foot cigarette boats, and you'll see dozens of these things). Ford doesn't sell the F650 with a pickup box - you buy it as a chassis cab and have an aftermarket guy install a box from an F350. There are several companies that do these conversions. Chev makes something similar called a Top Kick (or Kodiak) ... basically a small dump truck that guys will order as a chassis cab and put a pickup box on. Definitely makes a statement.

Millhouse2020 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Reminds me of the Canyonero... http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBoQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3De4QgWRycd7I&ei=oifRTfiZLoL50gGw1KGaDg&usg=AFQjCNFAD8e2OK0E0oaIlR-Lg08o2qHJ-Q Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five? Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown, Canyonero! Canyonero! Hey, hey! Twelve yards long, two lanes wide, Sixty five tons of American pride! Canyonero! Canyonero! Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero! She blinds everybody with her super high beams, She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine, Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero! Whoa, Canyonero! Whoooooaaaa! I can't imagine the sting at the pumps. I just got my first pickup this January, drove a Corolla for 10 years prior, I think I will stick with my little ole F150...

aplumma Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 So if someone has a 1 ton truck and is happy and someone else has a 3 ton truck and is happy why would you hack on the 3 ton trucks owner? He paid for the truck, he pays for the added expense to run the truck and it costs you nothing. We all have something that we spend the extra on to make us smile whether it is a custom rod and reel or a top of the line vehicle with the extra bells and whistles. When you let a friend use the rod and reel do you really want him to say " it's O.K. but it was stupid to spend the money." You should pay the same courtesy to any size toy that you get to see. Personally I like it when people take the time to customize something and share their enthusiasm on the project. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm sure it has something to do with wasting a renewable resouce called gas, and I would highly suspect he's just wasting a little bit, whether to "look good" or "be proud" of his accomplishments has nothing to do with it.

mistaredone Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I saw that truck out side the Can Tire in Oakville. I guess the guy probably owns a few stores. If I had the money id have one with a boat to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya but it's a diesel. Prob doesn't do to bad on fuel consumption and since it has been seen at an Oakville Crappy Tire too then most of the driving is more than likely highway use.... I take that back, driving on the QEW is not driving a highway but is more like sitting in a parking lot Edited May 17, 2011 by pikehunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chance Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I drive a big truck myself.I use it to pull my boat etc...Most of the time I am either on foot or on my bike as I am lucky enough to live within miles of where I work.My truck is very well maintained and taken care of.It always amazes me when someone pulls up beside me in some "smaller" vehicle that is dripping sludge from the tailpipe and thanks me for the downfall of the enviornment.Funny how they are not around to say thanks when I am running to work !

Fish4Eyes Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The question is, would you drive a fuel economic car if you were well off enough to drive a gas guzzler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The question is, would you drive a fuel economic car if you were well off enough to drive a gas guzzler? Sure I drive a compact when I can and the truck when it is needed. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
