HELLO US FROM GERMANY

First, pl. apologize my english, I will try my best but not ever I found the right words and grammer.
My name is Michael, live as describe in Germany , near Düsseldorf, working here for a big american chocolate and pet company.
Befor I buy the F-250 , I drive a Ford Explorer but my dream was always a Ford Pick up , because "FORD BUILD TOUGH" no chevy, no dodge, no toyota, it must be a FORD !! In my opinion he looks so good.
Hobbys are offroad, 4x4, western riding (own horse), the states, and last but not least my 2001 F-250 SD. Imported from the US in 2009.
thx god, I live in a small town with enouh space for my hobby an my truck, otherwise I think I have do not buy them, I´ve I live in a big city, because our streets , parking lots are so small...
If I have the time and also the money I will work on my truck, but we have the fu.... TÜV in Germany and so you have really hard problem´s , with leveling or suspencions kit´s , bigger tires , extra lamps, winshes a.s.o.
But nevertheless, I try every thing to pimp my truck in the right way.
So I got every day a lot of fun and a small laughing on my lips, driving my Ford truck, looking down to smaller cars... and look in shaking faces, if my , for you sure "little" for germans "big" monster come around the the corner with real V8 Sound.

Best greets from Germany

CU
Micha

Hello Michael and welcome to the site!

I'll bet that F-250 stands out over in Germany! I visited Europe many years ago and even then, things were tight. You won't need to lift it because you already clear most vehicles over there! lol Enjoy your truck and stop in the international forum and see who else is here: International Region - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Prost!

As an former Americanisher Soldat I have to say also that a large Ford truck wouldn't fit on a lot of the roads I remember. I served in Baumholder for 3 years and there was one time when a member of my company took a wrong turn while driving a large truck pulling a bulldozer on a lowboy through the middle of town...

For all I know it may still be stuck there lol.
