What's The Largest Vehicle You've Ever Driven?
What's The Largest Vehicle You've Ever Driven?-November 2024

The most ungainly, large, cumbersome vehicle I have ever driven was probably a full-size Ford E-Series church van towing a full-size flat trailer with a race car on the back, though I can’t say it actually felt larger than the most recent Mercedes S-Class I’ve driven.

Truth be told, the physically largest vehicle I’ve ever taken the wheel of was more likely . That’s it up on the left, with some 18-wheelers for scale. That said, it really just felt like driving a very comfortable large car around. Suburbans drive worse than that thing did on the highway, super simple, stable, and with great visibility.

I've gone from sea to shining sea in a high-powered convertible. I've crossed amber waves of grain…

Or maybe I should peg the I threaded through a couple boroughs of New York City a few years ago. Sitting ahead of the engine, navigating late night Harlem traffic, doing around 40 or 50 miles an hour in the terror-bump lane of the FDR, and parallel parking in hipster Williamsburg on a weekend morning was probably more challenging.

We know this 1975 Volvo C303 is one of the best ways to get around impassable backcountry. But…

But what about you? What’s the largest vehicle you’ve ever been responsible for making move? What did it look like and what did it feel like?
