I worked for a garden center when I was younger and we had a Ford F-650 delivery truck that got a whopping 3-4 MPG when it was loaded. It listed the RPMs in 100s and not the 1000s which was fun, and was the also the vehicle I learned to drive stick with. Needless to say every vehicle I've driven with a stick since has been pretty easy.
Why are they even a thing? The bed doesn't look that much bigger than a 250...
Shoot my bad, it was actually an F-600 and not an F-650, but the F-650 apparently replaced the F-600 around 2000 so it is pretty much the same truck just older. It was just a single cab with a flat bed that had wooden sides and a lift so that it could be dumped, it looked like the one below but it had more of an actual box on the back.

See, that makes sense. Especially at a garden centre. But one of these?;

What the ****.
For those wondering, in my personal experience, putting 87 in a car which required 91 (Lexus GS300) made it run like absolute garbage
Yeah, if you NEED a higher octane, you better stick to that or else.

They are very helpful for detecting douche bags though. The douche bag's level increases steadily as the amount of stickers in the back window increases, and if there are truck nuts on it you treat that as a multiplier. So if you have one lifted F-650 (20 douche points) with 1 Monster sticker, 2 Browning stickers, 2 Mossy Oak stickers, (1 douche point each), and 1 set of truck nuts (x3 douche multiplier), you then know that you have a (20 + 1 + 2 + 2 x 3) = Lvl 75 douche bag.

Lol, ya... that whole culture is just weird. But, I'm typing this on a site about $300+ keyboards so *shrug*
But the 6/7 series trucks aren't made for that, people just do that and so a few slip through. The overwhelming majority are tow trucks, haulers, ambulances, or utility vehicles of some kind. The transmissions specifically have secondary output shafts to run things like hydraulic lifts, crane arms etc., both while the vehicle is moving and stationary. When you need one, there is really nothing else that can do the job the same way.
Or u know, drive a van, like Tp
You're still sitting slightly higher up than the other cars.

True,
but the creep factor goes up by like 100 :p
A van either screams "After our date, let's go buy beanie babies" or "we're going on a date, you just don't know it yet"
