Geiger Ford F650 Is A Bit Late To The Game

[Rodslinger]

The first thought that comes to mind when taking a step back to look at the Geiger F650 is that this mechanical monstrosity is gonna be mighty thirsty for fuel. While it may not be powered by mere petrol, keep in mind that in most places diesel fuel actually costs more nowadays. Sure, you get over 737 lb-ft of torque from the 6.7-liter inline-six Cummins, but you really do need it to move this beast of burly burden.





Here's the thing, we've seen vehicles like this sort of 6/4 scale pick-em'-up truck plenty of times before. Remember the ridiculous Alton? Or this F-650 from SEMA? Or how about this piece of overcompensation? Then there's the rigs from International. And don't even get us started on our buddy Ironhide, the GMC TopKick. We're just trying to point out that maybe the German turners at Geiger didn't exactly have the timing right on bringing this to the market.

youll stilll have people with expendable money that have to have one. those are the only people that have ever really bought those kinda trucks. those type of people will buy the truck and the fuel. regardless of the price.

I'd drive it... Wouldn't but it though!

Big Red,

I think that is the case with most of us. It is directly relational to our income bracket. If we are worth 8 figures, it is nothing to spend 125k+ for a truck. ...

I think that fuel economy is the last thing on anyones mind when it comes to this thing. also for a truck that big is a 6.7 liter cummins powerful enough? I think it needs atleast a DT466

[BryanH]

I agree, The people that can afford these trucks are not concerned with the fuel consumption.
I'd drive it!

[redstroker_2002]

I would love to have that pimp it out like trick my truck did with the international one!! That thing was awesome!!!

I have seen rigs like that hauling around color matched horse trailers. Most people that own those rigs that I have seen own race horse breeding ranches or large cattle opperations. There is a guy in my town with a F650 that uses it as a daily driver. He got a large settlement from his old place of employment when he hurt his back.

MAN THAT THING IS A BEAST!! Got the tanks to back it up also. Just better have the cash to keep it go pedal goin. If money were no issue .......... I'd drive it!!!











BUT WOULD NEVER BUY IT!!
