You object to meeting an F-150? How do you feel about a John Deere 6R? That's my kind of rural.

I'm sorry, I confused the F-150 with the F-650.
When I'm in the US, and get the chance to walk around some city's blocks, these things are nothing but intimidating to me. Being rather tall, I'm not used to cross a traffic light as pedestrian and not being able to see above the hood of the car I'm passing. It has a different vibe to it, if this towering above me isn't caused by the vehicle owner's commercial needs but because the driver fancies it.

It’s fairly common to see F150s as regular commuter vehicles but anything larger tends to be bought with work in mind. Once you get above an F350 it’s pretty much purpose-built (construction, recreational vehicles etc.) and I don’t know anybody (including those from west Texas) who’d primarily use these as a commuter vehicle. By any measure an F650 is relatively rare and huge
