ford coming out with a 2-seater "bus" so they can release a truck that's 14 feet off the ground and gets 4 gallons a mile

Ford has been making the f650 for over 20 years

Edit; it gets 6mpg btw

I don't think those are street legal in the US though. We have one at my work but it can only be used on private property.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

They are designed specifically to be street legal commercial vehicles (aka no CDL required) in most US states.

I've seen a handful of them on the road over the years. There used to be a red one that must've been owned locally as I saw it a number of times.

I could be wrong. It might just be the one they have at my job isn't street legal, but maybe they are overall.

More like your states registration is by weight and your company ain't trying to pay that shit lol

That truck looks like shit with those wheels. Hell it would look like shit on any wheels

Edit: oh I see, it's supposed to be used for powerline maintenance with a lift installed in the back, not like a regular pickup
