MODERATORS
This truck is almost explicitly a fleet vehicle for construction and the like. Pretending encountering this $150,000 work vehicle is a common occurrence is super disingenuous.
If you're gonna be scared of trucks, we least be scared of the ones you actually see.
But what kind of work? It doesn't have a huge bed. The bed is really high and loading/unloading stuff will be difficult. It looks extremly heavy and big, so driving it on small dirt roads will be impossible. And you don't see vehicles like that here in Europe, even as work vehicles. The european industry is build on white sprinter vans. So what are you doing with this one here?
These things don't come with a bed, you mount whatever you need on the frame like a hydraulic dump bed, tow truck lift, or a man lifter/cherry picker.
I mean even the 'regular' f150 is too big imo and that isn't exclusive to construction.
