Yeah however, all of Europe is less than half of the size of the the U.S. which means a lot of people rely on big trucks to move all kinds of things. For example we do monthly dump runs because we dont have communal garbage pick up, when we do landscaping we have to haul the materials to and from our house, towing trailers with large equipment on them, etc. Its hard to compare the 2 very different living situations, sort of like someone in NY city judging someone living in Wyoming.

@@themidnighttavern6784 "I've always wondered how those things handle at high speeds." It's a gigantic, top-heavy brick. The back end simultaneously feels like it's super floaty and has a ten-ton gorilla right over the bumper. At highway speeds, it's not particularly dramatic, except over old expansion joints and pavement changes. Lane changes need to be planned a little ways in advance just due to weight transfer. At least with the F450 my department has, the 6.7 happily carries you all the way up to legal highway speeds, and even in 6th gear, the truck still wants to pull past the (governed) 82 mph limiter. You're just drinking fuel for no good reason at that point, though. The older ambulances I've driven (both pre-2010 Chevy and Ford type 3s) tend to struggle a lot more with trying to maintain highway speeds, and the old Ford engines feel like boat anchors. The real pain is when the winds pick up, and the crosswinds just grab the top of the box and try to push you around like a kid with a die-cast car. However, the worse the road gets, the less speed you can keep, especially when you've got your crew trying to do their job in the back. You're lucky if you can even get 45-50 mph on poorly maintained New England state routes and back roads without rattling your crew. They also have a habit of finding any little rut in the road and sinking right into it, which can make trying to pick smoother lines more challenging than it needs to be. The rear suspension across almost every ambulance I've driven is super bouncy as well, so every crack, every heave, and every random depression in the road can unsettle the back end of the truck in ways that make me a little leery of going any faster than I _need_ to.

Here in middle Europe, you sometimes see F-150s and they are massive compared to the Ford Ranger. ...Which is bigger than a small Ford Transit while having less Cargo Space and no Rain Protection from the factory.

Yeah, trucks are very rare here in Prague. Almost non existent. Seems silly to have a truck for work when the sides are open to theft and the weather. Also too large for many streets, parking, parking garages and residential garages. Most trucks in America aren't used for work, however. They are pen-s extenders...

Exactly, I don't see any practical use for these trucks. You can have similar benifits of a regular Hilux with a 4 cylindre diesel and gain fuel consumption

@@stevemcgowen But streets in US and Canada aren't the same as most Europe, they are big and basically have no sidewalks, a F150 for a country like that is totally fine. Here in Argentina there is no many full size trucks because they are expensive so there isn't many on the market, RAM sells the old 1500 and the new 1500 Rebel and the 2500 (that nobody buys), and Ford sells the F150 Lariat crew cab with the short bed only. But a medium size pick up truck is also big for big cities here, but for open roads or smaller cities they are fine. Your vision of things is different because who wants a big vehicle in Prague.. Europe is very small.

That's cool to see the difference series. Thank you. Also, at the end you said F series and as a Toyota guy I just thought what about the Lexus IsF, GsF, and RcF (maybe Lc500 and Is500) from the roots of the LFA? Idea

Dude I'm getting train3d tomorrow on the f750 garbage truck, I started out as a helper like 3 weeks ago. I'll be using the f750 until I get my CDL. this is by far the chillest job i've had. I've been a commercial fisherman until 23 and then construction until 31. I'm 34 now. I think this will be the line of work I retire on.

At 19, I drive our E-450 RV all the time and I have no idea why, but that thing is easier to maneuver than my 09 Silverado, the turning radius is amazing although the breaking takes some getting used too

I'm going to forever miss the option to buy a compact Ford Ranger with a long bed and no crew cab. As it is my Honda Fit has more cargo space than most of the pickups out there which aren't sold specifically to hold lots of cargo.

We drove f650's and corresponding gm rigs in the Navy to haul our boats. Drove them through small towns in europe pulling a boat. Talk about a tight squeeze.

The shirt bit in the ambulance had me rolling. What a clever marketing drop.

I truly have a all in one truck my 2017 f150 has a modified coyote 5.0 with a on3 turbo set up 700whp. I can haul things, travel with the family, throw a sofa on the bed and race pretty much any sports car in town 💪 i love it.

@@drew.- it means the engines are de-rated for horsepower and torque, due to the fact that those trucks are heavier to move, and if they had the same power as the pickup trucks, they would be more likely to overheat. In other words, it’s supposed to be more reliable. However, with all the emissions controls on them, it makes little difference anyway. They’re still just as likely to overheat as their pickup truck counterparts due to the emissions controls.

Chassis cabs are rated on a chassis dyno, not an engine dyno. The broad reason is that they will be outfitted with either an rv body or a commercial body. They are also, typically, sprung really heavy and not intended to tow much weight, but to carry more.

Donut makes top quality content. Keep it up!

It would be really cool to have an episode on railroad vehicles, and all the different hi-rail trucks we use on a day-to-day basis. Driving at ~30mph, forward or reverse, for miles at a time, all while never touching the steering wheel is a really bizarre feeling. Add that to having many different purpose-built trucks, like a full sized semi used like a mini train engine to pull rail cars around, F-350 ditch mower with steering and gas/brakes on both the left and right sides of the cab, huge turbine blower trucks used to clear away snow and ballast, an assortment of different sized trucks with cranes, dump trucks with rotating dump boxes, trucks with enormous welders that essentially superheat 2 rail ends and smash them together, and a lot more. You guys have really nailed the performance side of the automotive industry, but I think seeing the working side more often on a big channel like this would be interesting.

“You talk to them about the trailer while I go rizz her up rq” is the vibe Nolan gave me introducing the F250💀

Worked on and drove them all, the thing about the 350 and up is that you need weight for a decent ride, if you're not going to be towing or hauling then the 250 and 150 are incredible everyday trucks.

It was a very nice little tribute at the end !!

Nolan ran the stop with the E-450 lmao

My dad worked at FoMoCo back in the 70's, so I grew up around Ford vehicles most of my young life. My Dad passed away a few years ago and he still had his 2007 F250 with over half million miles on the OD. For me, I've since owned Honda's, Audi's and Nissans, but it's funny how now at 53, my wife and I both drive Fords. Although, I am liking the looks of the new Toyota Landcruiser :)

Cool the way you celebrated the people using the trucks! Awesome!
