Nope. Much more practical vehicles for much less money out there.

I would rather have a f-250 or 350, they are a bit more practical for towing 5th's and larger bumper pull tow haulers.

Some people tow with MDT and HDT trucks! Full highway tractors! This is small in comparison.

The truck linked in the OP is useless for anything other than bumper pull due to bed height.

I had one of those big things come up behind me a few years ago. It is a pretty intimidating beast for sure. But yeah, pretty much useless except for eye candy.

A man in my town has a 650. He pulls a 42 ft. enclosed car hauler and a huge, maybe 45+ fifth wheel. He puts 2 early '60's Volswagens in the car hauler to take to shows. He let me sit in it once. It's a beast.

I think that F-650 is for men with big cash, big want everything egos and with little manhood (being polite).

NO!
I think a Ram 5500 or 4500 with an 5th wheel trailer body on the truck would be a better tow vehicle!

Base price on this F650 is $57,000.
Mount your fifth wheel on the frame and you are good to go.

F150's are for hippies.
