Granted, that's a lot of money, but "think of all the activities."
On sale in Bentley, WA – yes that's the actual place – this custom triple-cab 2013 Ford F-650 Super Duty could be just the ticket to a world of possibilities. And fuel bills, if we're being honest.
Powered by a turbocharged 6.7 Cummins diesel engine that punches out 705Nm, this 9-seater behemoth it's rated to tow a massive 9,298kg unbraked. Or about four Texan Republicans.
Not to be confused with the smaller-ish Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 or F-450, the F-650 is one of the most adaptable vehicles in the world. As cheesy as it sounds, it's a real hero. While the F-650 seems a bit ridiculous as a 9-seater, its true purpose is its flexibility to be configured into a number of commercial vehicles; it's an ambulance, a fire & rescue truck, a school bus, dump truck, a flatbed, a tow truck and even a snow plow.
It's got a reputation for a being durable, reliable and dependable vehicle that's certainly helped someone, somewhere - maybe even saved their life.
It's an unsung legend that we love to point and laugh at, but in reality, we wouldn't be able to live as comfortably without it.
What do you think of the Ford F-650? Is it an ugly beast of burden or an unloved hero? Tell us what you think below.
