Long read but fascinating.

Probably recalled.
Or it costs more to repair than it was worth.
Typical Ford stuff.

600 horsepower sounded impressive, then I saw it was a basically a big rig and probably barely moves.
And it's a Ford, so the second trailer is probably just for spare parts for those roadside repairs.

That 3 wheeeler is like a few women I’ve known: Fun to ride but could ruin your life at any moment.

Is that Clark Griswald driving?

Chrysler tried a car and so did VW in the 60's. I think Chrysler made about 50 for public testing but after the tests they got them back and destroyed most of them.

I bet if they hooked this up to that baw's boat stuck in the suez canal it would be free in no time.

Great story. If you've seen Ford v Ferrari, or know the story of Iacocca leaving Ford, you know Henry II was a d-bag of the highest order.

So the F fell off of the front end.
They should call it the ORD. We had a school bus like that in high school.

I've seen similar trucks for sale. That thing looks so cool except for the vertical exhaust.
