Spotted: BFT ... Jesus Christ ...

[Palmiros]

just for clarification, BFT stands for BIG FUCKING TRUCK.





Was coming from the NE, when i saw a BIG looking vehicle quite a bit ahead of me... decided to pull out the phone and take some pictures. It was pretty intense cause i had no more room on my phone so i had to drive, browse and delete some old pictures. Spotted on 16th, nearby SAIT. I'm not gonna lie, i've never seen anything like this ever before... it was RIDICULOUS. Anyone seen this around? Look at one of the pictures.. it has a "full sized truck" in it, beside the BEAST. That will give you a better idea of how big this actually was... wow.

Im pretty sure thats my dads buddy shanes, he owns focus 4 development, he used to have the huge red dodge dually on air ride with the 44" boggers, he uses that to tow his bob cats and all of his toys and shit.

[turbotrip]

[Orbie]

Yep, that's a BFT, I was half expecting that thing to transform.

Frick, just what we need BIGGER TRUCKS! I saw a yellow one today on the way home from work. The funny thing was it had a tonneau cover over the bed so I'm thinking a 5th wheel is out of the question...... As if the H1 wasn't big enough.
Here's what it looked like:

It sort of is; vehicles of that size are over the weight limit for most city roads and are covered by the Truck Bylaw; anything with a GVW of over 5450 kg is deemed a Truck in the city of Calgary and must keep to truck routes and cannot be stored legally at a private home in the city.

This one would probably be fine as its from out of town, but locals buying one of those trucks would probably eventually run afoul of a bylaw enforcement guy.

Something that size should require more than a class 5 though, I agree; larger motorhomes should require a class 3 or 2 IMHO as well.

there was another huge black RV semi with a trailer on 17th tonight with oakley signs as well

Well at least you need a license to drive a semi, im sure any old jackass could rip one of those down the streets.

I'm pretty sure those BFT's have air brakes (like semi's) so you'd need the air brake endorsement with your normal license. The black one is a Ford F-650 I think and the yellow one is an International CXT. They're always FS in the DuPont Registry mags....

How much... ?:D

[Dayclone]

Yeh I think I've seen a bunch for sale at Shaw GMC?? correct me if I'm wrong... or else along 52nd there... there is a company that sells trucks that are "like" these... hmm their huge, but I think their illegal? or atleast not road worthy...

[Palmiros]

you know what though, its all fine and dandy.
till you have to fill up. I wonder what these babies take for gas..

Not much, I think around $80 g's US haha. I think you can get the F-650's in different models i.e. SUV (body kinda resembles an Excursion), a 4dr crewcab p/u and a 6dr crewcab p/u....

Most likely these things are running on diesel so it wouldn't be AS bad as running on unleaded....

and its just another reason for people from else where to call us red necks. why do you think people from texas feel comforable here

[arian_ma]

Don't judge guys, you never know what the Calgary roads are going to throw at you...

Pebbles, pot holes, other cars, no problem!

[Kona9]

Those rear tires are HUGE! Not even a dually set up. Those are so wide!! :eek:

First thing I noticed too. I like how people tend to claim how they are associated to wealthy people.

BTW.... It completely dwarfed that other truck in the pics.

[2002civic]

there was one of these on a unique whips episode, but the SUV style, i was in shock when I saw how big it was

It's the guys from Oakley USA. I was talking to them last night, but forgot to ask them why they are here :banghead:

Probably some trade show action or a party of some kind.

[1990nismo]

Semi's have a purpose to transport goods - BFT's don't appear to.

This is what happens when you give rig pigs too much money.

A lot of people use these to pull trailers like horse trailers and trailers that hold race cars and what not.

the oakley guys had a big rig and tent setup at the corner of 17th ave and 4th st yesterday.

If that is what you are worried about buy a bigger vehicle. These BFT's aren't the only large vehicles on the road :dunno: semi's, buses, campers, vans, etc etc etc

[finboy]

most bigger vehicles like semi's and busses, are driven by people who are professionals, and drive them for hours on end day after day. the average driver of one of these abominations would likely be someone who "needs to have the biggest truck"

i get rear ended by a car or smaller suv even if i'm at a dead stop, and they are going 50-60, i might get whiplash but i'll be alright. i get hit from behind, around the same speed, by basically a semi with someone used to driving a regular vehicle and i'm UNDER the truck. accidents happen, but giving people bigger and bigger toys to get into accidents with is going to cause greater injuries.

a kia going 160 could kill people, but knock that speed back down to something legal, like under 100 and you have a hell of a better chance dieing if your bone stock car isn't even as tall as the tire of the truck, and is outweighed 5 or 6 times.

Have you seen some of the horse trailers chuckwagon drivers and what not use? They are the same size as a semi-trailer, I don't think a normal truck can pull those...

I have also seen trucks like this outfitted with sleepers and stuff on the back like a semi, which you probably won't find on any normal trucks anytime soon...
