Trucks and off-road vehicles are also fun examples. Who's the F650 pickup marketed to? People who need to haul/tow more than F350 can handle (21000 lbs) and people who want to drive the same thing as "racers ... kings, football/basketball/baseball players".
The AMG G63 has is similar. It's a capable off-road vehicle, more so than, say, a Range Rover, but that makes it hilariously bad on-road. A neighbor has one; of course they never take it off road because who buys a $200k car for off-roading?

- EXTREME SUPERTRUCK: THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OF THE F650 PICKUP In 2001, Chris Walker and George Stickler, owners of Southeast Utilities, were looking to replace two of their older trucks with a SuperDuty F650. On the way home from the dealer, they decided to take it out back and build a bad a** pickup. As soon as they finished the first truck, someone approached them and purchased the truck immediately. Partners in business for over 15 years, and both racers at a young age, fabrication was not new to them. Last year they built 62 trucks with clients ranging from off-shore racers to kings, football/basketball/baseball players, and guys who are tired of tearing up F350s every three years. Today, F650 Supertrucks is a registered Ford upfitter and builds 50 custom trucks for a discreet customer base of people who know what they like and want it to be completed in a timely fashion. Our trucks have been featured in Rides magazine, Poker Runs America, Xtreme Boats, Dupont Registry, Exotic Car Buyers Guide for 2006, Diesel Powered, and a few more. We won't try to sell you a wrist watch or a computer and we won't go out and copy someone else's truck and sell them as ours, but we will build you a truck that will stand up to anyone else's truck and come out on top. Feel free to call us to discuss your needs for an F650 or if you're a Ford dealer, call us for a drop ship code to build one for your dealership: (706)-733-6271
