Here it is, this is the largest production 'pickup' anywhere. Think a hummer H1 looks big? This is what will dwarf it. I Haven't seen one in person and I still like the custom F650s I've seen better, however this is a real live production vehicle you can buy - now.

The International CXT

So who's game? Anyone out there looking for a bigger, badder truck?

Anyone out there got an extra $100K lyin around?

 

That thing is sick - I want one!

 

Yeah, they are sweet looking

I dont like the power #s and maz speed #s, and it most likely drives like a dumptruck.

 

We make parts for IH trucks. I'm hoping for a supplier discount!!! Maybe down to 85K!!!

IH is back!!! Still got 1969 IH 4x4.

But that DT466 is an awesome motor. It has the oil & cooling lines bored into the block. No hanging lines & hoses. That DT 466 is available in many HP configurations also. Remember, don't discount what gears can do too. Just because the HP is less than the 6.0 Powerstroke IH doesn't mean it's weaker. An I-6 is a better design. FWIW, It is a dump truck/snowplow chassis with a Ford Dually bed.

 

top speed 80 mph
gvwr 25,999

come on!!

 

I guess like a fighter pilot you will need oxygen at those high interior levels.

 

only 220hp?? i would definitely get one of the upgraded motor options.

 

I used to drive a water truck that ran a 215HP CAT 3208 - this is a very similar engine to the DT466. The 3208 could move an entire 3 axle water truck plus a full 5000 gallons of water naturally aspirated and is rated to run at nearly 100% load for nearly 100% of operating time. I'm sure the 220HP DT466 is similar, and lets not forget what a Turbo Charger will do, which is a VERY common item on a Diesel. If you get the same engine without the 90-100% duty cycle rating, you'll easily be pushing 300HP naturally aspirated.

5000 gallons of water @ 8lbs per gallon is a 20 ton load these engine can pull all day long for years at a time. My truck was about half that size, (2500 gallons) but a guy I worked with was pulling 5000 - it was an awesome truck, then he got a new engine with the Turbo and it made a dramatic difference.

Now I work on computers all day, no more trucking and construction for me...

 

the company I work for just bought 2 of these trucks. they are not qaud cabs. and have a service bed. we flat tow bus's with them. you would not beleive how well the pull a 40,000lb bus. they have a 6 speed auto trans. and have virtually seamless shifting. I like them alot. I am allways the first to speak up when a tow is needed. allthough we have lost a fuel pump in one of them allready. and they only have like 1500 miles on them. and if you forget to hook up the brake line to the bus. the the tow bar goes right through the bus when you hit the brakes.
