In Europe we're used to doing 150mph in all sorts of cars because of the German Autobahns. Any self-respecting car nut has been doing those speeds. In a GT3? 150 would be nothing special.
@@Sm00thieK don't you see? The 911 is such a great car that it makes it accessible to the everyday driver. Driving a truck at high speeds isn't the flex you think it is. Drive a Catheram 7 or a TVR Cerebra speed 12 if you think you're man enough.
@notjustbikes absolutely loves this and will rock up in one of these soon on the streets of Amsterdam! That said, seeing this truck on the roads in Europe or maybe Asia - where the means of transportation and the roads aren’t already fully out of control - would really be interesting as a comparison. And would probably portray it’s ridiculousness even better

My company has a ‘06 F-650 with a 7.2 liter Caterpillar turbo diesel that’s not 4x4. We’ve been out in the middle of blizzards pulling a trailer with a skid steer to do snow removal. The worst thing was trying to get the machine back on the trailer in the snow.
@@pic18f452yeah with Super Duty you can tow an insane 40k lbs. Super Duty has a much more modern interior that is more practical and comfortable, the same engine and a much better 10-speed transmission than the 6-speed the F650 and F750 have which gives it better fuel economy despite having a higher tuned engine at the same time, also selling it will be easier as there's higher demand for it, all in all your only buy the F-650 or F-750 if you really want a bigger truck and that's the only thing that matters
Man, I remember, not too long ago, the most impractical, stupendously huge american car you could buy was a Hummer. Which, compared to this monstrosity, seems like a practical hatchback.
You guys have gotten so calmly, playfully, and consistently good at what you do. I know it takes a ton of work, but it is fruitful work and so much fun. Thank you for doing it.

Man you should live in the South. They use these to tow Car trailers. This thing can tow 10 cars a trailer while beating a BMW in a drag race and stopping on a dime like a Ferrari. And in the US we have superb roads perfect for these hot shot haulers.
@@TheBasher-_- what BMW? One of those small toy ones with a pullback motor? And whilst I understand that utility vehicles do have good brakes, the only time one of those "supertrucks" stops on a dime, is when it hits a wall. + You could just use a regular F650/Semi to tow cars, so I don't see how that justifies putting armchairs, fake vents and an F350 bed on an otherwise perfectly good F650.
@Ocastia I'm not going to vouch for their speed but, I used to drive one of these for work a few years ago and, with the exhaust brake on, this thing really REALLY stops in a hurry. Most of the time you can just one foot drive it and it'll slow you down to about 10 mph when the exhaust brake cuts off.
@@Ocastia Why wouldn't you want more comfortable chairs in your hauler? Plus, with a bed you can put stuff in it and not have it immediately fall out like a flatbed. These trucks have massive brakes and a lot of rubber contacting the road. I've never seen a semi-truck with a pickup bed.

The difference between Thomas' and James' explanations of how a diesel exhaust brake works is absolutely adorable, and the exact reason why this channel is the best on yt.
But why doesn't it (or as he said "a diesel engine") not bring down your speed when you just let off the gas? Was that a joke or are the diesel engines different in North America. I drive a 3 liter diesel daily and it engine brakes like any other normal car. I've also driven a few semi trucks. When I let off the gas, yes the engine brings down the speed just like a 1.6 toyota does. European truck have a separate foot switch for extra downhill engine braking in place of the American Jake brake but otherwise the engine works like in any normal car. So what is he on about?
@@Renee_R343 When you let off the throttle on a gasoline engine, the throttle body valve closes, restricting the air flow. Diesel engines do not restrict the air flow, unless it has an added device like a swirl actuator that my 3.0 Mercedes diesel in my jeep 'had'. There is a good chance that the vehicles you have driven have added features to make them drive like a gasoline vehicle.
@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 So you're telling me that driving that F650 and letting off the gas feels the same as throwing it in neutral would? That the Vehicles speed wouldn't decrease any faster than due to the aerodynamic drag and the rolling resistance of the wheels? So what if there is any air going to the cylinders during decel while in gear, there is no fuel combustion during decel anyway?
A compression release engine brake, compression brake, or decompression brake, frequently called a Jacobs brake or Jake Brake, is an engine braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines. When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle.
The comedic value of this video is worth the watch alone.....lol. I don't know why I got such amusement when James starting driving, or why I got an image of a kid at Christmas driving their new Power Wheels they got and were trying to drive.
As someone that has owed one of these monstrosities, it is a 100% unique experience. After daily driving one for about a year, a lot of the novelty had worn off. The need of the massive towing capacity had also disappeared, leaving me with no desire to continue parallel parking in SF just for the fun/cool factor of owning it. Would I recommend one? Only for a very specific use case. Mine was a 2007 powered by a CAT ACERT C7 backed by an Allison 6 speed.
I’m watching you two goofballs in my 2023 kenworth t680 while being unloaded so I can go home to Las Vegas for Christmas from here. There is nobody better than throttle house to explain the emotions felt by any vehicle’s driving experience!😂
In the US navy we used the work model of these class of truck to pull our boats and strapping a shipping container down on to flatbed. Amazing machines.
The Factory F650 can be configured to be almost a semi, so if you don't need the full capacity of an actual Semi, why not? After all the F650 is way cheaper.
There's a sticker on the driver's front fender that's usually on commercial vehicles. That means it's probably registered at 11000kg or more, which requires a CDL to drive. Maybe not necessarily, but usually. That may be why you didn't get a ticket, but either way, great content as always.
@Sak-zo1ui I'm not sure that's true. You can't daily a tractor just because you say it's not for commercial use. A G class license can only drive a vehicle up to 11000kg. At 11000kg you need a cdl. Caveat you can in some cases drive a vehicle like a wrecker (tow truck) or flatbed with a G classes license, so long as you are operating under the cdl of the owner/operator.
You don't need a commercial driver's license to drive that truck. But if it is over a certain weight, or is used for commercial purposes, it must have a weight rating and pass inspections. The driver does not need special licensing unless there are air brakes.
Hi, trucker here. F650s are for guys that want to feel big. Anyone that has ever bought one of these could just get a private daycab longnose Pete and tow more than this could ever hope to, for cheaper, with less maintenance, while looking better. The F650 is literally looked down upon in the trucking community lmao Edit: You should try reviewing a Volvo VNL 870. You guys would have a blast.
Your shots in yorkville looked abnormally high quality. Like Hollywood, high budget quality. Your videos normally look amazing, but whatever you did for those scenes was truly impressive.
A Jake Brake opens the engine exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke to release the stored energy. It is much more effective than an exhaust brake. The exhaust brake on your test truck just raises backpressure so the engine has to do more work on the exhaust stroke to expel the exhaust gases. Nerdy Bit Of Trivia: Clessie Cummins, the founder of Cummins Engine Co., invented the Jake Brake. He invented it long after he had been maneuvered out of his own company, but gave them the opportunity to manufacture it. They turned him down, so he sold the invention to Jacobs Manufacturing, who named it the Jake Brake.
Years ago one of my clients, who was an NFL player, had a F-650 all customized like this and he lent it to me for awhile. It got so much attention from all sorts of people! Most of the time it was positive. I've spent time driving all sorts of crazy cars and this was up there in the look at me type of way. The only way I would have one was the F-650s that are set up for long distance towing with good highway tires and a hauler bed. BTW there is a company that makes a suspension for them that actually makes them ride really good. It's about $10k to $15k but when you're already spending this much why people don't get that all that often is beyond me.
@devontasson6556 LaRon Landry. He won a Nation Championship with LSU, 1st round draft with the Redskins who he played for like 5 or 6 seasons, Pro Bowl year with the Jets, then went to the Colts. I worked with him helping manage his cars for several years.
Ya... I owned a 18 f650 flatbed tow truck that weighed over 15k lbs (steel deck). It drove very well, did not have that loose steering, and had decent braking performance. I'd bet the heavy tires have caused a number of issues with ball joints, rod ends, king pins, and brake performance.
@@kylehagertybanana It was a flatbed tow truck used to repo cars. So it was used everyday. I leased it for 3 years from 2017 to 2020. I bought a 12 Hino in 2020 that had stupid low miles and was perfect for repossessions as it is a rotator bed with an aluminum deck. The f650 definitely had more power and a better ride. But I can't complain about the Hino at all. It's been a damn rock except for a small issue with the DEF injection.
@@purwantiallan5089 what 450 are you talking about? the f450 with the 6.7 Powerstroke has 475 hp and 1050lb-ft of torque its also available with the high output which gets bumped up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque the f650 and f750 get the detuned Powerstroke with between 270-330hp and 700-750 ft-lb torque, depending how you option it. ive taken my information from the ford website which lists the 450 as a MY2024 and the 650 and 750 as MY2025 not really worth noting but the chassis cab configuration for f350-f600 arent available with the high output powerstroke (thats just me getting distracted) as you go through previous models of the ford powerstroke equipped trucks they all have less HP and torque than the 6.7. if im wrong please correct me but im curious where you got your 1380 number
A friend of mine here in Florida bought one of those but his was 4-wheel-drive, he bought it to tow his 45-foot horse trailer from Florida to his ranch in Colorado. and back.
My friends dad had one of these when we were in elementary school. Was probs one of the craziest things to pick your kid up from school in and I remember the ride being absolutely horrible. Crazy that people still make these lol
The Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate got a "luxury" F-350(?) (when he played for Detroit). A friend was Tate's neighbor and talked to him about it shortly after it was delivered. Tate knew it was a silly thing. But some people like expensive jokes. Also, he was having the shocks changed because the ride was rough; and the interior was very pink.

But why doesn't it (or as he said "a diesel engine") not bring down your speed when you just let off the gas? Was that a joke or are the diesel engines different in North America. I drive a 3 liter diesel daily and it engine brakes like any other normal car.
I've also driven a few semi trucks. When I let off the gas, yes the engine brings down the speed just like a 1.6 toyota does. European truck have a separate foot switch for extra downhill engine braking in place of the American Jake brake but otherwise the engine works like in any normal car. So what is he on about?
@@Renee_R343 When you let off the throttle on a gasoline engine, the throttle body valve closes, restricting the air flow. Diesel engines do not restrict the air flow, unless it has an added device like a swirl actuator that my 3.0 Mercedes diesel in my jeep 'had'. There is a good chance that the vehicles you have driven have added features to make them drive like a gasoline vehicle.
@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 So you're telling me that driving that F650 and letting off the gas feels the same as throwing it in neutral would? That the Vehicles speed wouldn't decrease any faster than due to the aerodynamic drag and the rolling resistance of the wheels?
So what if there is any air going to the cylinders during decel while in gear, there is no fuel combustion during decel anyway?
@@Renee_R343is the F650 Supertruck has a diesel prototype engine?
It still works as an air pump and slows the vehicle. The volumetric nature of the engine limits the airflow. @@notpoliticallycorrect4774

From Alberta, 10/10 highly recommended
A compression release engine brake, compression brake, or decompression brake, frequently called a Jacobs brake or Jake Brake, is an engine braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines. When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle.
The comedic value of this video is worth the watch alone.....lol. I don't know why I got such amusement when James starting driving, or why I got an image of a kid at Christmas driving their new Power Wheels they got and were trying to drive.
I laughed out loud when they were driving next to the autozam
Truly the final word in the overcompensation machine category.
Basically, for the guys that drive these, theirs is inverted.

I dunno, man. I’m still waiting for those guys to start driving actual tanks to the grocery store.
yoooooo I'm so excited! I can see my building at 6:39! It's almost like I'm in this episode of Throttle House!

As someone that has had the displeasure of driving a pickup truck through downtown Toronto I applaud you for taking this beast through Toronto.
The European will never be able to comprehend this 🦅🦅🦅
Because it's really really stupid.
We can, and we do. We have big Lorrie’s/trucks in the big cities. It’s just impractical.
Speak for yourself i cannot comprehend this.
There is a Mercedes Unimog Version like this.
As someone that has owed one of these monstrosities, it is a 100% unique experience. After daily driving one for about a year, a lot of the novelty had worn off. The need of the massive towing capacity had also disappeared, leaving me with no desire to continue parallel parking in SF just for the fun/cool factor of owning it. Would I recommend one? Only for a very specific use case. Mine was a 2007 powered by a CAT ACERT C7 backed by an Allison 6 speed.
The cop didn't give you a ticket because he can't reach the windshield.

You guys make me watch whole thing with smile fixed in my face
this was such an amazing video!!
In the US navy we used the work model of these class of truck to pull our boats and strapping a shipping container down on to flatbed. Amazing machines.
And you also didn't just use semi's?
The Factory F650 can be configured to be almost a semi, so if you don't need the full capacity of an actual Semi, why not? After all the F650 is way cheaper.
@@Ocastia and from experience, they are decent off-road. 🤘
@@Daniel-dj7fhLike the other guy said, they are way cheaper than an actual semi.
Pulling boats like the Battleship Iowa? Or maybe something a little smaller like the North Carolina.

"29,000 pounds?" THAT'S IT? I was waiting for him to say 100,000 pounds or something like that!
and f-350 4x4 with the same engine can tow like 32k. and its like 1/2 the size.
The first 10 seconds was all I needed 😂You guys are brilliant 😅
Asking pedestrians/ getting on-lookers reactions made this episode extra enjoyable 😂
Very interesting too.😅
There's a sticker on the driver's front fender that's usually on commercial vehicles. That means it's probably registered at 11000kg or more, which requires a CDL to drive. Maybe not necessarily, but usually. That may be why you didn't get a ticket, but either way, great content as always.
It is isnt required until the truck is used for commercial purposes. You can daily this truck without a cdl.
@Sak-zo1ui I'm not sure that's true. You can't daily a tractor just because you say it's not for commercial use. A G class license can only drive a vehicle up to 11000kg. At 11000kg you need a cdl. Caveat you can in some cases drive a vehicle like a wrecker (tow truck) or flatbed with a G classes license, so long as you are operating under the cdl of the owner/operator.
What is the "C" in CDL?@@philipschofield7105
You don't need a commercial driver's license to drive that truck. But if it is over a certain weight, or is used for commercial purposes, it must have a weight rating and pass inspections. The driver does not need special licensing unless there are air brakes.
In most Canadian provinces*
Hi, trucker here.
F650s are for guys that want to feel big. Anyone that has ever bought one of these could just get a private daycab longnose Pete and tow more than this could ever hope to, for cheaper, with less maintenance, while looking better.
The F650 is literally looked down upon in the trucking community lmao
Edit: You should try reviewing a Volvo VNL 870. You guys would have a blast.
The horn surprise was pure gold!
Haha as a delivery driver, I was slightly triggered that you parked in the loading zone
They were unloading themselves from the vehicle so it's all good.

Your shots in yorkville looked abnormally high quality. Like Hollywood, high budget quality. Your videos normally look amazing, but whatever you did for those scenes was truly impressive.

@@purwantiallan5089 A $200 phone can shoot in 4k UHD. Doesn't look this good
A Jake Brake opens the engine exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke to release the stored energy. It is much more effective than an exhaust brake.
The exhaust brake on your test truck just raises backpressure so the engine has to do more work on the exhaust stroke to expel the exhaust gases.
Nerdy Bit Of Trivia:
Clessie Cummins, the founder of Cummins Engine Co., invented the Jake Brake. He invented it long after he had been maneuvered out of his own company, but gave them the opportunity to manufacture it. They turned him down, so he sold the invention to Jacobs Manufacturing, who named it the Jake Brake.
So cool !!
Nothing announces how cool you are as well as asking random passersby, “does this make us cool?” ❤

Years ago one of my clients, who was an NFL player, had a F-650 all customized like this and he lent it to me for awhile. It got so much attention from all sorts of people! Most of the time it was positive. I've spent time driving all sorts of crazy cars and this was up there in the look at me type of way. The only way I would have one was the F-650s that are set up for long distance towing with good highway tires and a hauler bed. BTW there is a company that makes a suspension for them that actually makes them ride really good. It's about $10k to $15k but when you're already spending this much why people don't get that all that often is beyond me.
Who was the nfl player?
what kind of NFL player needs this kind of car?
@@ZSTYseamuffinwhat kind of person period needs something like this lol.
All fun and games until you have to refuel it.💀
@devontasson6556 LaRon Landry. He won a Nation Championship with LSU, 1st round draft with the Redskins who he played for like 5 or 6 seasons, Pro Bowl year with the Jets, then went to the Colts. I worked with him helping manage his cars for several years.
Ya... I owned a 18 f650 flatbed tow truck that weighed over 15k lbs (steel deck). It drove very well, did not have that loose steering, and had decent braking performance. I'd bet the heavy tires have caused a number of issues with ball joints, rod ends, king pins, and brake performance.
Dif you use it for towing a lot?
I owned a lot of 18650's
@@kylehagertybanana It was a flatbed tow truck used to repo cars. So it was used everyday. I leased it for 3 years from 2017 to 2020. I bought a 12 Hino in 2020 that had stupid low miles and was perfect for repossessions as it is a rotator bed with an aluminum deck. The f650 definitely had more power and a better ride. But I can't complain about the Hino at all. It's been a damn rock except for a small issue with the DEF injection.
I'm impressed with that parking job.
Amazing truck. Wish I could get it in Switzerland
James kills me all the time 🤣 and I had to repeat that jump scare from Thomas 😂😂😂
And today is the first video for the new "if you're new to Throttle House" intro.
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
My country extremely requires this car 🎉
I had this come into the shop I worked at today, things pretty cool, and huge.
It's cool in its unique-ness. It's like a beautiful trainwreck. Even people that wish it never happened can't help but gawk at it.
When these first came out, it was pretty amazing what they could tow. Now, an f450 is rated for 10k more.
with an additional 200hp
@@jMichaelEdwardsthe F450 has 1380bhp actually.
@@purwantiallan5089 what 450 are you talking about?
the f450 with the 6.7 Powerstroke has 475 hp and 1050lb-ft of torque
its also available with the high output which gets bumped up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque
the f650 and f750 get the detuned Powerstroke with between 270-330hp and 700-750 ft-lb torque, depending how you option it.
ive taken my information from the ford website which lists the 450 as a MY2024 and the 650 and 750 as MY2025
not really worth noting but the chassis cab configuration for f350-f600 arent available with the high output powerstroke (thats just me getting distracted)
as you go through previous models of the ford powerstroke equipped trucks they all have less HP and torque than the 6.7.
if im wrong please correct me but im curious where you got your 1380 number
A friend of mine here in Florida bought one of those but his was 4-wheel-drive, he bought it to tow his 45-foot horse trailer from Florida to his ranch in Colorado. and back.
This would be perfect for my office job.
My friends dad had one of these when we were in elementary school. Was probs one of the craziest things to pick your kid up from school in and I remember the ride being absolutely horrible. Crazy that people still make these lol
Can you imagine parking this thing and reversing it in a school zone with small kids? You could miss a whole classroom of kids in your view
Including the teacher @@roland9367
The Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate got a "luxury" F-350(?) (when he played for Detroit). A friend was Tate's neighbor and talked to him about it shortly after it was delivered. Tate knew it was a silly thing. But some people like expensive jokes. Also, he was having the shocks changed because the ride was rough; and the interior was very pink.
That truck is turning heads like it’s a lambo 🔥🔥🔥
This is THE PERFECT GROCERY GETTER!!!
The anger that flowed through Thomas after he got jump scared by that horn is something no man should have to feel.
How to tell the world, "I have a tiny hotdog." -buyers of this truck

The idea to take it to Yorkville was perfect! The flex street of Toronto
A friend of mine looked into one of these to tow his 42’ offshore boat. It was a bit overkill lol. He went with an F350 with the 10 cylinder.
I delivered high-end boats in the 40 to 50 ft range with a modified 5500 Silverado. 48 ft trailer 1,000 gallon fuel tank mounted on flat bed.
