You can drive in Europe/UK on foreign plates for up to 6 months. But you do need to buy a minimum of local liability insurance as your US insurance doesn’t apply. But there are plenty of companies that sell short term insurance. The same applies to the US btw. I saw a Ukrainian plates Passat it Nj the other day. It only seems odd as compared to Mexico or Canada because it requires shipping the car.

I love that this video exists, after traveling to Europe and seeing how tiny the roads and cars are, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have an average American car navigate through all that. It’s a good thing your truck was a bit smaller than usual so you managed, but I imagine it was still pretty difficult
I love British humor and I love the history and old buildings in the UK. But man does this make me thankful of how much room we have to work with here in the US. I take ALOT of long trips every year and it’s nice to have a large comfortable vehicle that can carry everything quite easily ( I don’t drive something as big as this truck but I have in the past )
Lol went I went to the US last year, I was so surprised how gigantic all the cars are. Here in the UK I'm used driving small lightweight aerodynamic cars that can easily zoom down country roads no problem
The fact that these types of trucks are just regular cars for the most part here in the states is crazy to me after seeing them in videos around the world.
Wider roads and longer distances in most of the US. Although driving these trucks in any major city is still a pain lol. Smaller trucks are more popular in the cities, but most people drive compact cars and crossover SUVs in the cities.
It is absolutely insane how I simultaneously hate trucks because of their massive size and crazy low mpg, but at the same time I love driving it. Just makes you feel much more patriotic
His spatial awareness sux but i bet if someone was to hit him he would he just fine with all that crumple room unlike a european car( totaled vehicle and driver having several broken bones) in a minor fender bender.
Hi Matt, as a 'White Van Man' (1:10) driving 60K miles a year, I actually quite often reverse to allow others to pass because plain and simply I'm well practised and better at it than most other motorists.
Exactly, I couldn't for the life of me understand that why the heck, 1) They didn't use the the pump that was located in the front rather than the back one. 2) Why the heck they didn't ask the driver behind to reverse. Like if you are in such a hurry then just reverse.
@@MickeySibs nah there was probably someone filling up ahead of them and they got done before Matt showed up. Think about the possibilities before coming up with your conspiracy theories lol.
The most annoying thing Ive watched. The driving situation in the beginning is everyday driving for people in city centers. Not sure why he acted like he was running over buildings.
I came to the comments section hoping someone said it. Cringed he was using the brush. Cringed even harder when he used it on the rims then on the body. 😂
@TaneMahuta he only used the brush because the truck is wrapped and he knew that before doing the video. The owner of the truck planned to rewrap it a different color anyway
@@jatterhog Gotta say this actually pissed me off. Your car (generally speaking) comes with a beatiful gear called REVERSE. Instead those freaking people choose to honk to death , waste time, get angry rather to REVERSE AND DRIVE AROUND. I would have stared them to death and told them: when you put petrol did you put also your brain in the tank or did you left it at the register?
@@skopeftisnclrp they weren't using the full travel in their steering either... if they could've gotten one with right-hand steering they would have an easier time driving... not to mention, they were intimidated by their own truck... still its a good video
@@Duhluzr21 I know, but I’m saying if that situation ever happens. Of course it wouldn’t you can literally drift and donuts in gas station and there’s still miles of distance. 😭
i get really annoyed when non americans say " why do they call it gas, its a liquid?" especially when they basically insinuate that we are saying it wrong. the name has nothing to do with its state of matter. its short for gasoline. it was invented in the US and the name gasoline predates the name petrol by 30 years so if anyone is saying it wrong its everyone else.
Matt's a hypocrite, he reversed into that filling position because he didn't want to wait for the person behind to finish paying. Then delays the guy by playing to camera, returning to add even more fuel and doing more to camera. Another example of someone letting a little bit of success go to their head. I'm sure he wouldn't be quite as comfortable laughing if he didn't have a film crew in tow.
It always “wows” me how different countries can be. My friend from the Netherlands came to the states to visit for the first time and was talking about how big the vehicles are. Then over FaceTime she showed me the vehicles there and they were so small and compact. I’m so use to seeing huge lifted trucks and gas guzzling SUV’s .
When I was in San Diego (I'm English) I couldn't believe how MASSIVE food and drink portions were, and parking spaces !!! No joke, they're about .. 75% bigger than the ones here.
@@realMaverickBuckley All of my foreign friends always point out the food proportions and the vehicles. America is such a privileged and wasteful country but what can I do😂😂! I’m actually traveling to Netherlands soon, I’m so excited to see how different the world will be!
To me the bigger difference is how everything else is also big, but in a wrong way. Gigantic suburbs where you need to drive everywhere, even school. Walking isn't an option.
@@aesma2522 One thing I wish America had (I'm an American) was better cities to talk/bike in like at Copenhagen or other places. We're so hell-bent on cars that cities and suburbs kinda suck to walk around in. Also, I've been to the UK and y'all really DON'T have a lot of SUVs and I didn't see a single pick up truck.
Yeah, but I bet u never pulled up to a parking garage entrance and wondered if you will fit... Went for breakfast in town last weekend, the garage had a 7' bar at the entrance, but about 10 yards in there was another that said 6'8"... The antenna hit a lot of beams, but the roof didn't.
@@wendelllee3078 oh ok .... than that's not big at all .... I'm a ford guy ... 🤣🤣🤣just kidding ... I only really know ford ranger and f150 ... I thought it would be a f350 kinda deal where u cant look over the bonnet 🤣 ... I guess this one here is also modified ... so bigger than a normal 1500 for sure...
The track width of the TRX Mammoth is pretty significantly wider than that of the more pedestrian trims of the 1500. Makes a massive difference on these extremely narrow European roads.
"Gas" is short for gasoline, which, by the way, is a word coined and used by the British, before they moved to "petrol." People in the UK have a tendency to coin words then move on to different words, just like soccar is a British coined word, replaced by the term "football." You sometimes also drift, such as alumium, to aluminum, and currently to aluminium. The US got off the bus at aluminum, and that's how we ended up with that difference.
@@S.R.Productions must be an American thing. If I pull up to a station like that here in Canada, I'll just drive the 5 km to the next station that doesn't treat everyone like a criminal
Definitely a foreigner and foreign concept, you buy something and then you get the thing you paid for. Not the other way around otherwise no reason for me to pay you.
A friendly tip Mat. At McDonalds you can just drive in reverse with the left-side steering wheel cars so you don't have to climb on the other side of the car to accept the order.
I drive a right hand drive car in the US and it's really surprising how bent out of shape people get if you drive backwards in a drive thru. So much YOu CAnt DO thAT!!.
@@theinquisitor3930 im on your side here, reply with “ where was the sign saying not to, better yet what law have i broken? thats right there isnt one, no sign to miss nor law being broken”
A lot of people saying Mat’s making it look harder than it is, but I can’t imagine he has a lot of experience driving vehicles this large in narrow streets, makes sense to me he’s going to be nervous
He's also sitting on the opposite side of the car compared to the 'regular' scenario, which makes it pretty tricky in a regular car, let alone something this big. Plus, UK roads are usually more narrow than the US ones.
As some how owns a dodge ram 2500 in Scotland that’s left hand drive also iv had no issues yes some bits can be tight but everywhere he has been is no issue he just can’t drive it’s actually annoyed me so much as if you need a spotter look at all the space you have you idiot!
As a Texan that grew up in the UK I can attest to how realistic this video is. For me, going back to the UK and driving a saloon/sedan is a nightmare, I cannot imagine driving a big old tricked out Ram TRX. Some of the country lanes in the UK are terrifying--there is nothing equivalent in the DFW area!
I must congratulate Mat on not damaging any other cars or even driving over some with that Hennessey 👏🏻 . Boy that Mammoth is a beast in size compared to something like a VW Golf! Great entertainment Mat, can't wait to see the next episode with a Hennessey Venom F5...
Tbh most of the times you were completely fine in terms of space ,quite spacious surprisingly. I guess it's just getting your confidence up while druving
I was thinking the same thing I drive an international dump truck here in the states and I get within a couple inches of things every day I’ve never hit anything though. Driving something every day you learn your limits like your own body
I agree. Did not even need a spotter. Effing vans use whatever lanes he is driving on and drive-thrus he is using here. The truck is small by comparison. Just plain nonsense. it would cost a shite load to drive this behemoth as a car here with petrol prices 3x or so but size is clearly a non-issue.
Dang people talking about how the US is designed bad, these streets in the uk are the most horrendous street designs i have ever seen, like why is there no space holy shit
I live in the Southeast portion of Texas and just about everyone and their dog has this truck. Crazy thing is they get even bigger with the heavy duty ones and you see those all the time as well 😂. Crazy to see how much of a struggle it is for the Mammoth in the UK. I don’t think y’all would be able to handle a dually there 😂
@j0000shua British car brands??? They're all dead lol, they buy euro cars because they're normal size, also Vauxhalls are just rebadged Peugeots/citröens
And that was, if i'm not mistaken, the Ram 1500 TRX. The British should see the even bigger Ram 2500 with longbox or the 3500 with its double tire hehe. Coming up with big trucks is a needed experiment that we americans had to do because the US is huge, landwise, and it's not a joke that we actually need to drive massive pick-ups like this one for work or just for fun. But it comes out chill that gas prices are similar when adjusting gas prices from US in gallons to british in liters
Normally I'd agree with you, but this guy legitimately blocked them in so I don't blame them for being pissed. I'd be more pissed at the guy sitting in his van behind them and not pumping gas.
@@realryleu I think it’s ridiculous that you justify a government restricting your freedom of movement via making it financially impossible to do things you want to do
@@realryleuthe US prices also includes taxes. Its actually around $5 here in california because they tax more than other states. It’s looks like in the UK they tax significantly more.
Soon it will be that price in America. The rest of the world pays $7 a gallon or more. If you can’t afford it, drive something smaller. In Canada we pay $1.60 per litre ($6.04 per gallon). After exchange rate it equals $4.42 USD.
I love how concerned he was thinking he didn't have enough space but still had a good foot or 2 between him and other vehicles. A bit extra on those reactions 😂
@@luisforeal8676 Oh for sure! When I was 18 my pops got me on my first construction job as a laborer supply runs and hauling and dump runs, they threw me in a small dump truck that was a manual. I didn't even know how to drive a stick but damn I was gonna learn that day! Scary shit but after a a week or so I got used to it and could drive a stick on anything after that!
Anyone who isn’t familiar with American trucks, this truck is considered a medium sized truck. You can get one that is almost 1m longer. I pull a 6.8m trailer with a truck the same size in the video.
A Ram 1500 is a full-size truck, larger than midsize trucks like a Tacoma/Ranger, larger than compact trucks like a Maverick. The latest generations are ridiculously large, they are not to be normalized.
I’ve been to the UK; France and Italy, and Yes; many of these towns and villages date back to the 11th century with narrow roads and cobblestones and we’re definitely NOT built for huge Dodge trucks 😅
Except if you're Australian where we have states 2.5 times bigger than tiny Texas.😁Canadians probably say the same when comparing Texas with their provinces.
@@TheAmericanCatholic European countries are ridiculously small. Great Britain is smaller than the state of Victoria, and once I drove through Liechtenstein. Took me 25 minutes from the Austrian border to the Swiss border bridge near Triessen. And that was with moderate traffic!
@@SRNAR8 As an Aussie we often drive 500-800km a day in our motorhome. Hoping one day to do a motorhome trip around the UK but if we travel the same distance there as we do here, we'll leave London in the morning we'd be in Edinburgh in time for dinner! Welcome to GB blink, and you'll miss it.🤣
If you drive a vehicle over 3.5 tons in Europe Like tesla cybertruck Or a truck with a long bed , you need a C driving license for trucks and it's harder to get than driving license for normal cars. That's the reason why he uses a truck with a short bad. because is only 3 ton.
I drive a Chevy Suburban in the UK, i do not have these issues driving very similar roads, obviously it was done for the camera to make it seem unusable over here
With all those cameras he could have easily backed down the drive-through. He was definitely being overly dramatic. It was funny though. I really appreciate my wide open roads.
This actually happens in México most of times. In the north of México is really common to have pick up trucks, it’s your dad standard vehicle basically. Thing is most streets here are very narrow, cars park on the sidewalk, etc. Downtown, there’s street markets everyday so they cover the sidewalk and a piece of the lane. Even for a experienced pick up truck driver, it’s hard to drive those streets. My dad has to go to TX because of work and he used to take his 2006 Ford Lobo (F-250), it’s a dream to drive in the states, every lane is wide enough.
@@Postbode007 never met someone who got his truck stolen by cartel, but there was a time people were scared of driving certain trucks cause carteles used to drive Tahoe’s, Suburbans and Escalades, so people were afraid narcos stole those trucks from them.
Fun fact, it was actually motor spirit. Gasoline and Petrol come from the brand names of two companies that sold it long ago. Gasoline was coined by John Cassell as Cazeline, but because of copycat motor spirit brands that used his brand name, the name slowly evolved to gasoline. Petrol was also a product name, but because it was in such wide use for a long time as another word for any motor spirit, when the company tried to trademark it, it was denied. Therefore, we are all wrong. Losers
ok in fairness, ram trucks are absolutely massive. My dad bought one and I thought my car was big until I took it out. Damn thing so long it was sticking out of the parking spot by a good amount. And good luck getting it in a garage to work on. I love them, but I'm happy to admire from a distance and steal it on the weekends
Except trucks like this are usually used for actual work, albeit this one is a little too fancy to beat up. You definitely wouldn’t want the added complexity of rear wheel steering when your job is half a mile up a mud “road” on a strip mine lol. That shit would break so fast and cost a fortune to fix.
@@coopersanders2340 Not this one specifically. But most full sized trucks are objectively used for work. There’s a reason the 15, 25 and 35 lines of trucks are used en masse by so many companies across America. They’re actually suited for doing the work.
Over here in the states, a lot of folks daily drive heavy duty pickups like the f250 or the ram 2500 and living with a Mammoth in the states would be just fine, it's a very interesting perspective on how American vehicles are to live with in Europe! Interesting video!
@@redwhite_040 the gas prices in Europe have been double or more and even in some countries with even lower income than USA. They just love to complain about gas.
I currently live in Belgium. The funny ( and mysterious) thing is that every time I see a Dodge Ram or Fors F150 it is comfortable parked in a parking spacs. While my relatives who drive around tiny cars cannot find any free spots. You never see a dodge ram doing double row parking
@@movietrailers6149 lol your a moron even if it cost you $100 to fill your 10 gallon tank, it'd take me $200 for half of mine. You drive small shitty European vehicles, we drive large durable American trucks that carry 50-100 gallon fuel tanks. It's not the same 😊

I love British humor and I love the history and old buildings in the UK. But man does this make me thankful of how much room we have to work with here in the US. I take ALOT of long trips every year and it’s nice to have a large comfortable vehicle that can carry everything quite easily ( I don’t drive something as big as this truck but I have in the past )
Lol went I went to the US last year, I was so surprised how gigantic all the cars are. Here in the UK I'm used driving small lightweight aerodynamic cars that can easily zoom down country roads no problem

Wider roads and longer distances in most of the US. Although driving these trucks in any major city is still a pain lol. Smaller trucks are more popular in the cities, but most people drive compact cars and crossover SUVs in the cities.

The track width of the TRX Mammoth is pretty significantly wider than that of the more pedestrian trims of the 1500. Makes a massive difference on these extremely narrow European roads.
"Gas" is short for gasoline, which, by the way, is a word coined and used by the British, before they moved to "petrol." People in the UK have a tendency to coin words then move on to different words, just like soccar is a British coined word, replaced by the term "football." You sometimes also drift, such as alumium, to aluminum, and currently to aluminium. The US got off the bus at aluminum, and that's how we ended up with that difference.

Never use the car wash brush on the paint. People (including yourself) use them for the wheels and it gets a lot of gunk that will scratch paint

If you’re going to use the wash brush make sure you spray it down first to get rid of the gunk
who cares, thats not his car
A lot of people saying Mat’s making it look harder than it is, but I can’t imagine he has a lot of experience driving vehicles this large in narrow streets, makes sense to me he’s going to be nervous
He's also sitting on the opposite side of the car compared to the 'regular' scenario, which makes it pretty tricky in a regular car, let alone something this big. Plus, UK roads are usually more narrow than the US ones.
Ain’t no bigger than your average white van , just sits higher.

This actually happens in México most of times. In the north of México is really common to have pick up trucks, it’s your dad standard vehicle basically. Thing is most streets here are very narrow, cars park on the sidewalk, etc. Downtown, there’s street markets everyday so they cover the sidewalk and a piece of the lane. Even for a experienced pick up truck driver, it’s hard to drive those streets.

Also why do they call it petrol in the UK? petroleum is the unrefined version of Gasoline.
Well you guys know how gas works, right? The fumes are what's burned; not the liquid form.
@@applewoodsmokedbacon929 Well, it's considered a petroleum product, is it not?
Fun fact, it was actually motor spirit. Gasoline and Petrol come from the brand names of two companies that sold it long ago. Gasoline was coined by John Cassell as Cazeline, but because of copycat motor spirit brands that used his brand name, the name slowly evolved to gasoline. Petrol was also a product name, but because it was in such wide use for a long time as another word for any motor spirit, when the company tried to trademark it, it was denied. Therefore, we are all wrong. Losers
I want to see a North American dually pickup. That would be honestly hilarious.
F-550 Earthroamer LTi Would be great.
Hahaha coal rolling fiats and minis everywhere.
That would take both sides of the road 😂
@@BrandonTheInquirer well I mean, rams are fiats so
A dually being over 3.5 tons you would need a commercial license to drive it at least in France
Ahhh. As the typical Merican I loved this. It was hilarious to me to see people so annoyed, and you still had Texas plates on 🤣
ok in fairness, ram trucks are absolutely massive. My dad bought one and I thought my car was big until I took it out. Damn thing so long it was sticking out of the parking spot by a good amount. And good luck getting it in a garage to work on. I love them, but I'm happy to admire from a distance and steal it on the weekends
Big pickups like these would definitely be easier to live with if they had rear wheel steering.
Except trucks like this are usually used for actual work, albeit this one is a little too fancy to beat up. You definitely wouldn’t want the added complexity of rear wheel steering when your job is half a mile up a mud “road” on a strip mine lol. That shit would break so fast and cost a fortune to fix.
I think Chevy did that in the early 2000s
@@handthing9709Good old Quadrasteer. In the market for one, truck or S.U.V., doesn't matter, preferably both for a project I want to commit to.
@@charlesbrown4483trucks like this are not used for work, they’re used to get groceries by suburb dads who want to feel big
@@coopersanders2340 Not this one specifically. But most full sized trucks are objectively used for work. There’s a reason the 15, 25 and 35 lines of trucks are used en masse by so many companies across America. They’re actually suited for doing the work.
Over here in the states, a lot of folks daily drive heavy duty pickups like the f250 or the ram 2500 and living with a Mammoth in the states would be just fine, it's a very interesting perspective on how American vehicles are to live with in Europe! Interesting video!
Driving a new lease pick up for daily communte and complain about gas or groceries prices. So hilarious.
@@redwhite_040 the gas prices in Europe have been double or more and even in some countries with even lower income than USA. They just love to complain about gas.
I currently live in Belgium. The funny ( and mysterious) thing is that every time I see a Dodge Ram or Fors F150 it is comfortable parked in a parking spacs. While my relatives who drive around tiny cars cannot find any free spots. You never see a dodge ram doing double row parking
@@movietrailers6149 lol your a moron even if it cost you $100 to fill your 10 gallon tank, it'd take me $200 for half of mine. You drive small shitty European vehicles, we drive large durable American trucks that carry 50-100 gallon fuel tanks. It's not the same 😊
Why on earth would a sane person choose a pickup as a daily
😂 love this video, Mat. You should have revved those 1000 horses at the gasstation
He should’ve
*liquidstation 😂
I always wondered what it was like to drive an American truck in the UK it is a really stressful just watching you on the video thank you for showing us how way different it is on the roads out there...... Come on down to United States you can drive fast on the roads over here thank you so much
Especially in Texas where the speed limit is 85MPH!
He deliberately made it look more difficult than it really needed to be.
Come on over to Germany in Europe where there are no speed limits.
