Is This the Ultimate "Pickup"?

( Oh, and another BTW, are the commercials right when they say Texas is like a whole different country? )

John,
You have no idea. I live about 70 miles up the Rio Grande River from the tip of Texas, and about 10 north of Mexico! (Don't even think about leaving your car, truck, or tractor where the crooks can take it, I've already had a van stolen from my driveway!)
We drive to Austin, and that gets pretty strange just that far north. Even that seems like another country.

We do need a cold snap to make the citrus taste better. We've got about 90 citrus trees between me and my neighbor. We're supposed to get a "cold front" tomorrow. Highs of 70 or so.

Know what ya mean about theft. My Dad had a F350 Stroker stolen at the K/Mart in El Paso. Had to leave his 5th wheel house trailer there until he could get another truck! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Yup.

As for the International, saw two red ones the other day on 635 heading east from DFW.

I was heading west bound and staring at them. And both drivers returned the stares. They were looking at Lucy to see if I was looking at them.

And you wondered why I always name trucks girls names.

I saw one of these trucks at an IHC dealer up in Saginaw. I kinda liked it really. Ofcourse it was a RED one! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

There was a CXT on display at the International Engine plant here. Here are some shots of it.

This article states the price range.
Please sit down first.

Monster truck goes to market 

It also states that IH only expects to sell about 60 or so.
I think they just need to expose this to the world so they can go "Wow!, Can I have one?"
It looks like it would be the ultimate to tow those huge 5th wheel RV's that are so popular.

They are purty.

Of course if I got one I'd have to have the frame stretched for a thirteen foot custom welding bed.

Anything can be a pickup. Minicooper used to make one. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I read that the pickup bed was derived from a Ford F-350. Way too small in my opinion. It should be at least large enough to haul a Ford F-350. [or at the very least a Crown Victoria]
