SEMA: DeBerti does an F-650 that's just not right
This Ford F-650 by DeBerti Designs is politically incorrect, environmentally incorrect and wrong in so many other unsettling ways, and yet it still attracts crowds like a naked Angelina Jolie doing jumping jacks in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Based on the Ford F-650 that features six-wheel drive, the Deberti version has been stretched to seat six and adds six video screens to make it an even 6x6x6 (sign of the devil's truck!). The rear doors that allow access to the back two rows of seats are gullwings that we have been assured will provide no lift if opened at speed, while the front doors flip up Lambo style.
This mighty, mighty monster truck rides on an Air Ride Technologies air suspension to smooth out the F-650's on-road flow, though we highly doubt you'd feel anything under your tires smaller than an Aveo. A 330-hp Caterpillar engine and Allison automatic do what they can to move the DeBerti Designs F-650, and we wish them all the luck in the world.
Check out a full gallery of pics after the jump along with a full list of the Ford F-650 by DeBerti Designs' modifications.

This thing is SOOOO wrong it's right, I love it! It makes the simply excessive look understated by comparison.
If in doubt, lift it!!!

I'm unfamiliar with the F650, but I'm guessing that the 330 hp Cat engine is a diesel, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough torque to do jack-shtuff with this truck.
Now, as far as gas mileage goes.... hahahahahahaha

dual rear-wheels don't count separately, so it's still a 4x4 and NOT a 6x6.
This is a TRUE 6x6:

There's actually something I like about that thing. Maybe it's because it's so anti-Al Gore.
Looks like a good number of SEMA show cars are Fords--Ford needs all the business it can get these days even if only to build one-off show cars.
Jacked-up trucks are especially brilliant because it's nearly impossible to load anything into them without a lift.

I didn't even know there was an F-650. Good grief.
I vote "nowhere near awesome."

I'm guessing that's a CAT C7 ACERT (if they're even meeting 2004 emissions), too many Allison options to guess which one would be used though probably the Rugged Duty series.

Everything which is wrong with Ford is embodied in this POS made of steel, rubber, and glass.

sweet yet boring –-it's kinda like the girl next door with fake breasts; she sure is nice to look at, but you can't taker her home. Come on Autoblog say what you mean! This "piece" isn't politically incorrect, our friends are dying in Iraq to fuel this sweet machine. This thing is a dick enlarger, it gives you big balls, but it also says your insecure about what g-d gave you. This truck sux a duck.

I would be much more impressed if they took the seat from a baby stroller and mounted it to a self-propelled lawn mower. Add muffler, turn signals, seat belt and head lights, and Zoom, Zoom!

The truck looks great from a aesthetic point of view. The black rims on the huge tires are classy. It wouldn't be practical for a daily driver, but hasn't everyone wanted a monster truck of their own?
